Sample output
One backend role, start to finish.
No login, no marketing screenshots — just what Vesna produces for a single role. Lightly anonymized; the structure is exactly what a design partner sees.
A rubric is a few building blocks
A good rubric isn't a vibe — it's a few typed, weighted blocks the recruiter sets once. Vesna scores every applicant against exactly these, not a generic idea of "good."
Owns the backend behind payments — high-throughput APIs, settlement, reconciliation.
Has built and operated LLM/agent systems in production — tool-calling, evals, cost control, real failure modes.
- Payments / fintech / settlement experience
- Owned a backend service end-to-end — on-call, runbooks, incident response
Same on paper. Different outcome.
Two candidates, both strong-looking, both used AI. Read down the columns: they start identical — then Vesna tells them apart on substance.
Candidate A — the substance is real
Vesna pulls out the evidence that matters and reads it. This candidate used AI to tighten their résumé and still comes back authentic — because the work is real.
- Polish
- authentic — substance over polish
- Must-have
- backed up on paper
- Outcome
- ✓ advances to the human's queue
Candidate B — looks the same, so we ask
Looks just as specific and confident — but the must-have can't be checked on paper. Vesna doesn't guess and doesn't reject. It asks one question, by email.
QYou mention production agent work — can you describe one concrete system: what it did autonomously, a real failure mode you hit, and how you measured whether it worked?
- The read
- generic retry/queue work — names no agent system, eval, or autonomous behavior
- Outcome
- → shown to the human with the gap, not advanced
The recruiter makes the call — Vesna never decides. But it turned an un-answerable "is this real?" into a five-minute, defensible human judgment, with the candidate's own words on the record.
The audit trail
Every application carries a timeline that can't be quietly edited. "Why did we pass on Candidate B?" is one screen — Vesna's steps in rust, the human's own actions in black.
That's the product
A polished pool, sorted on substance; the cases that can't be checked handed to a human with the candidate's own words; every decision defensible. Want to run it on your roles?
