Senior developers lose days a month to screening calls. We take the technical rounds off their plate and give them a scored report instead of a calendar full of interviews.
Every interview ends with a structured scorecard: skills rated against the level you are hiring for, code samples, red flags and a clear hire / no-hire recommendation.
The interviewer is a working engineer in the candidate's technology — back-end, mobile, data, DevOps — not a generalist reading from a script.
The same rubric for every candidate, structured questions and written evidence — so your decisions are comparable and you can explain them to the hiring manager.
Our expert interviewers.
The senior engineers who run technical assessments on your behalf. They validate real experience and skills, so only genuinely qualified candidates reach your team.
Full-stack development | Solution architecture | CTO roles
Yusuf is a senior full-stack engineer with 23+ years of building robust, scalable systems on PHP, JavaScript and cloud platforms. His years as a CTO and solution architect make him the interviewer for architecture-heavy and lead-level roles.
Full-stack development
Tariq is a seasoned full-stack developer with 10+ years in software engineering and a PhD in engineering. He has led delivery across fintech and logistics and interviews for mid to senior product engineering roles.
PHP development | Magento 1 & 2 | Team leadership | Software architecture
Faisal is a back-end engineer with 14+ years in PHP and Magento. Known for quality delivery and architectural design on both Magento generations, he assesses e-commerce and platform engineers.
Drupal back-end development | Scrum master | Project leadership
Omar is a senior Drupal back-end developer with 11+ years of experience. As a Scrum master and project lead he evaluates both engineering depth and the collaboration skills a team role needs.
Our technical interview process.
Tell us what you need assessed: the roles, the seniority and the scope of technical skills. We agree the rubric, the format and how many candidates you expect per week.
Our engineers validate the shortlist against your requirements — hard skills, soft skills and real project history — and run first-round screens to separate the promising from the plausible.
The strongest candidates go through the full technical round with you present if you wish. You get detailed feedback and evaluation scoring for every person interviewed.
Once your candidate is chosen we double-check the alignment with your requirements, help you frame the offer and prepare the contract terms with the candidate.
“A wrong hire costs far more than the salary — it costs the quarter. The right engineer is out there; the work is in proving it before the offer.”
What our clients say
Our engineers were spending two days a week on screening calls. Holol Alghad took over the technical rounds and we still made better hires.
Companies we serve.
A decade of global talent work has let us shape interview-as-a-service around clients of very different scale, industry and complexity.
Cut time-to-hire and keep your founders out of screening calls. With access to a vetted pool your team finds top-tier candidates fast, builds quality early and ships sooner.
Use our interviewers to reduce hiring risk while your own engineers stay on core work. Several roles run in parallel, and you still meet the strongest people on the market.
Validation at scale with our technical expertise: the right domain specialists, consistent quality, no disruption to delivery, and hiring practice that meets your internal standards.
Some of our success stories.
They needed four payments engineers and had one lead who could assess them. We ran every technical round, returned scored reports within two days each, and their lead only met the four finalists.
Our technical experience across the stacks we assess.
From core back-end to cloud and data — vetted engineers across the stacks Saudi enterprises actually run on.

Additional ways we support hiring teams — dedicated development teams, technology consulting and full-cycle tech recruitment.
Frequently asked questions.
What clients ask before the first interview round. Anything else — write to us.
Usually under a week. We agree the rubric and the roles, match interviewers to the stack, and start scheduling assessments as soon as your candidates are in the pipeline.
Your engineers get their week back, every candidate is measured against the same rubric, and you receive written evidence instead of impressions — which makes the hiring decision faster and easier to defend.
Back-end, front-end and full-stack, mobile, data and ML, DevOps and cloud, QA, security, and technical leadership up to CTO level — junior through principal.
Yes. We work inside your ATS where access allows, or deliver scorecards in the format your team already uses. Scheduling runs through your calendars, not ours.
A named coordinator handles scheduling, reminders and candidate communication, and your hiring manager gets a short summary call whenever a round closes.
Every interviewer is a working engineer, still shipping in the stack they assess. We review rubrics quarterly and retire questions that stop reflecting real practice.
Yes — that is the default. We build the rubric from your role profile and add your own tasks, code review material or take-home assignments if you have them.
You get a no-hire report with the reasons, and the search continues. If a hire we recommended fails in the first months, we review the assessment with you and re-run the round at no cost.
NDAs signed before any candidate data moves, confidential interviews without naming your company where needed, and candidate records stored in line with PDPL and GDPR.
Structured questions in a fixed order, scoring against defined criteria rather than gut feel, anonymised written evidence, and two reviewers on senior rounds.
Tell us what you are building.
A senior engineer — not a sales script — replies within one business day.
