The Problem
When you browse a talent marketplace, you are guessing. You see a resume that claims '5 Years Software Engineering,' but you don't know:
Can they decompose a complex problem into maintainable components, or do they write monolithic spaghetti?
Have they designed systems that other engineers can extend, or just shipped features that work?
Is their code review feedback constructive and educational, or nitpicking syntax?
The Solution
ConnectDevs removes the guesswork. We don't just send profiles; we send Structured Intelligence. Every candidate is interviewed by SAM against the specific Software Engineering challenges you care about. You don't guess if they are good. You know.

RELATED STACK
Everything you need to know about sourcing, assessing, and hiring top Software Engineers through our platform.
SAM's technical interview presents open-ended design problems requiring candidates to identify components, define interfaces, and explain scaling strategies. You receive a scored report showing their architectural thinking beyond implementation skills.
Senior software engineers command average salaries around $190,000 annually. Traditional agencies extract 20-35% in placement fees. ConnectDevs operates on a flat subscription starting at $69/mo with zero markup on candidate compensation.
The Scout agent searches 800M+ public profiles for signals like open-source contributions, system design discussions, and production-scale experience. This delivers a targeted shortlist in days rather than the weeks typical of manual sourcing.
SAM evaluates engineering mindset including trade-off analysis, long-term maintainability considerations, and cross-functional collaboration patterns. Engineers demonstrate system-level thinking while developers may focus primarily on feature completion.
SAM presents refactoring scenarios and asks candidates to identify code smells, propose improvements, and explain testing strategies. The evaluation report scores their ability to write code that others can maintain and extend.
Every ConnectDevs engagement provides raw assessment data upfront, including competency scores on code quality and design patterns. Audit the engineering maturity before you invest interview time to minimize the risk of accumulating maintenance burden.
