We're using a new method to hire engineers at @HelloUntangle.

I think this playbook will become the standard for hiring technical talent in the age of agents.

Here's how it works:

1. We ask candidates to submit a screen recording of their whole screen, shipping a new feature on a current app they work on.

Note: This is usually 45 minutes of video - no editing or speeding up - we want to see them thinking, prompting and problem solving with the agent - we also want to see their devops skills.

2. We watch these videos and pick a subset to go through Round 2.

3. Round 2 is giving them a seat on @DevinAI so they have secure access to our repo.

4. We ask them to ship a new real-world feature and get the PR merge-ready.

5. We pay them a fixed fee to do this, and they have 16 hours to complete the work.

6. We watch the videos, review at all the Devin threads, have an agent do the same, and then choose which one to hire.

Note: We don't have any meetings with the folks before any of these things. It's all about the work and the results.
