Lightscreen Launches: AI Voice Agent for Coding Interviews

Lightscreen recently launched!

‍

^{"AI interviewer that enables companies to hire top engineers faster."}

^‍

^{TL;DR Lightscreen is building an AI interviewer that outperforms humans in evaluating technical candidates. Engineering teams use Lightscreen to vet candidates using an interactive interview -- a different approach than other screening tools that unlocks greater insight into a candidate's engineering fundamentals and critical thinking skills.‍}

‍

Founded by Prachie Banthia & Gavin Saldanha‍‍‍‍

Prachie Banthia previously was VP Product at a Series C speech model company called AssemblyAI that has built the current SOTA speech transcription models. Before that she was at RideOS which she helped sell to GoPuff for $115M, and prior to that worked at Google.

Gavin Saldanha is a veteran ML engineer who has led engineering teams at Cauzal AI and Stacked. Prior to that he also worked at Google - which is where he first met Prachie! He brings extensive experience in scaling and productionizing ML and NLP systems.

The Problem

• Engineering managers spend about 40% of their time on hiring, and engineers spend about 10% of their time interviewing candidates
• Humans are naturally biased - we hire people like us and make decisions based on feelings rather than evidence
• New AI technologies have made it easier for candidates to apply to hundreds of jobs, so volume of applications has drastically increased
• The volume of applications is going to keep growing, increasing the burden on managers and engineers

‍

The Solution

The Lightscreen AI interviewer assesses candidates’ skills by working through coding problems with them collaboratively. This unlocks deeper insight into a candidate's engineering fundamentals and critical thinking skills, unlike other screening tools that simply evaluate code.

Strong candidate evaluation:

Flagged candidate evaluation:

Lightscreen AI can interview on any technical subject. It avoids hallucinations and eliminates bias by justifying feedback with specific examples, and can scale to any volume of candidates. It also identifies cheating, by monitoring the full feed of keystrokes, video, and audio from the candidate.

Allow your engineers to focus on building products instead of screening candidates by trying Lightscreen today!
