Course-correction.
How quickly and decisively the engineer redirects an agent that has drifted off course. The strongest signal we measure.
A signed reference from the agent your candidate has actually shipped with. Computed from real session telemetry. Anchored to their GitHub identity. Verifiable in seconds.
Take-homes are gamed. Whiteboards are performance. Every candidate is "good with AI" — and you have no way to tell whether that means they direct the agent, or the agent directs them.
VouchUp gives you what you used to get from a back-channel reference, except the reference is the tool itself, the metrics are computed (not opinion), and the identity is cryptographically signed.
You read it in two minutes. You decide whether to interview.
How quickly and decisively the engineer redirects an agent that has drifted off course. The strongest signal we measure.
The proportion of agent output that is tested, read, or challenged before being accepted into the work.
Time spent scoping and decomposing before delegating, against time spent issuing commands.
How fully the engineer briefs their agent — the use of constraints, examples, and prior work to shape the output.
The pauses. The reading. The willingness to stop and think before sending the next message. The hardest trait to fake — and the one that separates a senior engineer from an enthusiastic one.
Telemetry is read directly from the agent vendor. The candidate cannot edit metrics. A friend cannot generate the profile on their behalf. Every reference is a W3C verifiable credential and expires on first read.
For high-stakes hires, a 10-minute live confirmation session matches the working voice in the profile to the person in the room.
We're partnering with a small number of teams. Tell us about the role; we'll route candidate references your way.
