The applicant overload problem

The pile grew. The signal did not.

A single software engineering opening now draws hundreds of applications, and nearly all of them look qualified on paper. Reading them is unpaid work for your team, and the first honest signal usually arrives far too late.

01weak signal

Hundreds of applicants per role

Volume went up, and the time your team has to read carefully did not.

02weak signal

Every resume looks tailored

Applications are optimized in seconds, so paper stopped separating anyone.

03weak signal

Engineers discover the truth late

The first real signal arrives in an expensive interview with a senior engineer.

You do not need help reading resumes faster.
You need to know who can actually do the work.

How TechProof works

Free at the top. Paid only where it proves something.

01

Send us your applicant pool

You forward the resumes you already received. We do not source candidates or add another platform to roll out.

02

We screen every resume free

Each resume is checked against the requirements of your open software engineering role. You get who qualifies on paper, and why, at no cost.

03

Verify the qualified ones for $45

Paper-qualified candidates take a live, job-specific technical interview. You pay $45 per completed interview and receive the evidence behind every result.

Inside the $45 live interview

Harder to fake. Easier to trust.

Resume screening tells you who qualifies on paper. The paid stage is where a candidate has to demonstrate the skills and experience they claim, live. We evaluate understanding, judgment, and adaptability, not prompt-writing ability or memorized answers.
