One of the biggest pain points in hiring is sifting through endless resumes only to find that most candidates aren’t quite right. Either they fall short technically, struggle to communicate clearly, or simply don’t fit the way your team works.
At Nefter, we believe that effective hiring starts with rigorous vetting — not just for hard skills, but for communication and team compatibility. That’s why we built our entire model around one goal: only send you engineers who are ready to contribute from day one.
Here’s how we do it.
Our process starts with technical evaluation. Every candidate we consider goes through a hands-on assessment tailored to their stack — from React and Node.js to Python, Java, or DevOps roles. These aren’t generic quizzes. We use real-world challenges designed by senior engineers to test problem-solving, code quality, and practical understanding of modern development practices.
But strong code isn’t enough.
Next, we move to live interviews. We want to see how a candidate thinks, communicates, and collaborates in real time. Can they walk through their decisions? Can they explain trade-offs? Do they ask thoughtful questions? This stage reveals how they’ll perform in a team environment — not just in isolation.
Then comes English and communication screening. All of our clients are U.S.-based, so fluent, clear communication is essential. We evaluate verbal and written English, responsiveness, and clarity in technical discussions. If a candidate can’t confidently explain their code or ideas in English, they won’t make it through.
Finally, we assess culture and team fit. This is where many hiring pipelines fail. Technical skills alone don’t guarantee success — the best engineers are those who align with how your company operates. Are they proactive? Do they work well in fast-paced, startup-style environments? Do they take ownership or wait for instructions? We evaluate these traits carefully.
This full-stack vetting process means we don’t flood you with resumes. Instead, we send 1 to 3 candidates who are already vetted across all key dimensions: technical excellence, communication, and collaboration style. That means fewer interviews for you, faster hiring decisions, and a much higher hit rate.
And once a developer joins your team, we stay involved. Our support team checks in monthly with both you and the engineer to ensure everything stays aligned — not just at the start, but throughout the relationship.
The result? Less friction. More trust. And developers who don’t just meet expectations — they raise the bar.
If you’re tired of hiring platforms that send volume over quality, let us show you what it feels like to work with a partner that takes vetting seriously.
