Algorithm tests can't tell a strong engineer from one who pasted the problem into Claude. Long take-homes drive away the best candidates. OpenLevel is the technical screen that actually measures what matters now: how a candidate builds real systems with AI in the loop.
› Sits between resume review and your on-site. Replaces leetcode-style tests and outdated take-homes.
✓ Run 3 real assessments, your candidates, your roles. No credit card, no sales call required.
Every candidate has Claude. Every algorithm test is now a test of who has access to AI, not who can build. The screen that should be filtering signal is filtering nothing.
Every false positive that passes the screen costs your engineers an hour of on-site time on someone who can't actually build. The screen is supposed to protect that time. It isn't.
Any candidate with Claude can solve a 'hard' algorithm problem in minutes. You're no longer testing engineering skill, you're testing who knows how to paste a prompt.
The best engineers have 5 to 10 offers. Long, poorly-designed take-homes are why they drop out before your on-site. Your screen is filtering out exactly the people you most want.
Proctoring tools frustrate the engineers you want to hire and lose the battle anyway. Every cheating workaround is one prompt away. You can't out-detect AI, you have to redesign the test.
OpenLevel measures judgment under AI leverage, how a candidate orchestrates the model, makes architectural calls, and ships real working software in 60 minutes.
Candidates get a full IDE, AI agent, and a task with deliberate product ambiguity. They decide what to build, not just how.
We measure how they orchestrate the AI, prompt quality, architectural choices, when they push back on the model.
Keystrokes, prompts, file changes, terminal commands. See how a candidate thinks, not just what shipped.
Signal, not verdict. Optional live code review surfaces the smart questions; your engineers make the call.
Whatever you prefer. Get hands-on with the product today, or have us walk your team through it on a call.
Sign up free, pick a stock assessment, and invite up to 3 candidates. You'll see the scoring, the session replay, and the AI grader report on your own candidates, in under an hour.
Want a deeper read before you trial? A 30-minute walkthrough with our team, tailored to the roles you're hiring, the volume you're running, and the rigor your org needs from the screen.
Sign up, send a real assessment, and read the AI grader report in under an hour. Your engineers stay in the loop with optional live review, or skip it entirely and stay async.

No proctoring theater. No five-hour homework. Just the toolkit purpose-built for evaluating engineers who already ship with AI.
Each candidate gets their own ephemeral environment. No shared state, no exfiltration path, no way to peek at past submissions.
70 to 80 passes to the next round. 80+ is exceptional. Every score comes with a methodology trail your engineers can defend.
Modern tooling. Real ambiguity. No 5-hour homework.
How they orchestrate the agent, separate signal from generation.
Keystrokes, prompts, file changes, terminal, every decision visible.
Your engineers stay in the loop, we surface smart probing questions from the submission. Skip live review when async is enough.
Automated tests run alongside the AI grader. Structured reports your Head of Talent can hand to legal without a phone call.
A self-serve path for SMB teams and anyone who'd rather try the screen than sit through a sales call. Demo stays available for the bigger orgs.
Email + password or Google SSO. ~30 seconds. No company-size form, no sales call.
Pick a stock assessment, backend, frontend, full-stack, or build your own in ~15 minutes.
Single field: candidate email + assessment. Credit debited only when they start.
−1 CREDITCandidate works in a real IDE with an AI agent for 60 minutes. Every decision captured.
AI grading report ready in minutes. You decide: advance, decline, or live review.
Those tools were built for a pre-AI world. Algorithm tests no longer separate signal from noise when every candidate has Claude. OpenLevel was built for the world where every engineer ships with an AI agent, we measure how they use it, not whether they can avoid it.
Between resume review and your on-site. We replace your current technical screen, take-home or automated coding test, and hand off a ranked, scored shortlist to your team. Sourcing, interviewing, and offers stay with you.
Live review is optional. You can ship an entirely async workflow: candidate completes the assessment, AI grader scores it, your team reviews the report and decides whether to advance. Live review is there when you want a deeper read, not required.
Three credits, three real assessments, stock or custom. No card. A credit is debited only when a candidate starts. After three, choose a plan or keep your results read-only.
Results and dashboard stay accessible. To invite more candidates, pick a plan, Starter for one-offs ($35), Launchpad for ongoing hiring ($99/mo).
Yes, that's the point. OpenLevel is built for AI-era workflows, and candidates are expected to use AI. We evaluate how effectively they orchestrate it.
Engineering teams hiring software engineers who will work alongside AI tools day-to-day. From early-stage startups running 3 assessments a month to scaling orgs standardizing the screen across the org.
Three credits, three assessments, no card. See the signal yourself, then decide.
No credit card · no sales call · ~ 2 minutes to your first inviteA 30-minute walkthrough, tailored to your hiring workflow. We'll show you the candidate experience, the grading reports, and how to read the signal. No prep needed.
