ProdSimulator
ProdSimulator drops candidates into real production scenarios - incidents, trade-offs, pressure - and shows you how they actually behave.
Try 3 simulations for free · Reject poor candidates fastPolished stories, buzzwords, zero signal. No CV scoring tells you who's worth interviewing.
Screening through tens or hundreds of candidates takes weeks. You miss the best ones.
At the end, only engineers can tell you if a candidate is a good fit. But by then it's too late.
Candidates can be prepped. Homework tasks get written by AI. The “signal” in traditional interviews keeps dropping. It's much harder to spot what matters most.
So we built a way to measure exactly that.
Invite candidates with a simple link. No setup, no coding tasks. They enter a short, realistic scenario that mimics real engineering work.
Candidates respond to real situations - incidents, trade-offs, team messages. No predefined answers. Just decisions.
We don’t score answers. We evaluate behavior - prioritization, reasoning, risk awareness.
You’ve been invited to complete a short simulation.
Do they start with the most important problem, or waste time on the wrong thing?
Do they work through the issue step by step, or make random guesses?
Can they explain what is happening clearly to other people?
Do they stay calm and make sensible choices when the answer is not obvious?
This gives you real hiring signal, not polished interview answers.
Quickly identify candidates who behave like real production engineers. You can also use it to train your own engineers.
Replace CV filtering with real signal before interviews. Proceed only with the best candidates.
Simple interface. Complex signal.
No subscription. Use whenever you hire. No expiration.
You can optimize your CV. You can even optimize yourself for interviews.
But you can’t fake engineering when systems get messy.
So I built a way to observe decisions instead of answers.
“The best engineers aren’t the ones who know the most.
They’re the ones who don’t panic when nothing makes sense.”
