Vetted by AI & Seniors
Our candidates are evaluated on rigorous architecture briefs graded by our AI Architect system.
Project-Based Portfolio
Move beyond resumes. Review actual Terraform code, architectural diagrams, and migration plans.
Designed for Impact
Candidates practice on chaotic scenarios, aimed at reducing ramp-up time for your team.
We Don't Just Filter. We Forge.
Traditional hiring platforms test for syntax. We aim to test for survival. Here is how a candidate earns their place in the talent pool.
Incident Response Simulation
Candidates diagnose critical failures from system logs and architectural clues.
System Design
Architecting scalable solutions for millions of users, graded by AI.
Cost Optimization
Refactoring infrastructure to reduce mocked cloud bills.
Communication
Negotiating requirements with difficult AI stakeholders.
POLICY: No real production tasks allowed. All briefs must be synthetic simulations.
Run Your Own
Private War Games.
Go beyond Resume screening. Test how engineers think, communicate, and design in your specific technical environment.
1. Create Synthetic Briefs
Generate generic architecture challenges tailored to your stack (e.g., "Migrate Legacy Monolith to Azure AKS") without exposing proprietary data.
2. Live Negotiation Chat
Don't just judge the architecture. Watch how candidates push back on ambiguity, ask clarifying questions, and handle tradeoffs in real-time.
Designed For:
CTOs & Tech Leads hiring their first 1-3 Cloud Engineers.
Teams tired of generic CVs and multiple-choice assessments.
Companies willing to experiment with proof-of-work evaluation.
Not Ideal For (Yet):
High-volume mass recruitment pipelines.
Companies requiring fully automated, hands-off hiring.
Strict SLA-driven vendor relationships (we are in Beta).
Why CTOs Switch to ClientBrief
Zero Ramp-Up Time
Engineers are pre-onboarded to modern stacks (Terraform, AWS, K8s).
Retention Focused
Candidates who enjoy complex problem solving stay 3x longer.
Transparent Evidence
Full access to their IaC configurations, architecture diagrams, and AI feedback logs.
"We believe certifications are a poor proxy for skill. We verify actual engineering outcomes: could they build the pipeline? Did it degrade gracefully?"
