AI-Native Technical Assessment

AI makes every candidate look like they know what they're doing.
See who actually does.

Saffron replaces technical interviews with real AI-assisted work trials. See exactly how candidates prompt, build, debug, and ship — on your actual codebase.

The Problem

Technical interviews don't predict job performance.

You already know this.

01

Engineers use AI daily, interviews ban it

You're testing a world that no longer exists. Every engineer ships with AI — your interview should reflect that.

02

Puzzles test memorization, not judgment

Inverting binary trees says nothing about how someone architects a feature or debugs a production issue.

03

Take-homes are unstructured and unscalable

No standardization, no visibility into process, no way to compare candidates fairly.

04

Work trials produce best signal but are expensive

The best predictor of job performance is a work sample — Saffron makes it scalable.

How It Works

Three steps to real signal.

From repo to results in minutes, not weeks.

01
Step 01

Create Assessment

Point Saffron at your GitHub repo. Configure AI access levels, time limits, and evaluation criteria.

02
Step 02

Candidates Build

Each candidate gets a sandboxed IDE with integrated Claude Code. They work on your actual codebase — building, prompting, debugging.

03
Step 03

Review With Data

See full conversation logs, code attribution, AI reliance scores, and time breakdowns. Know exactly how they built it.

Features

Everything you need to evaluate how candidates actually build.

Managed Sandbox IDE

Isolated cloud environment pre-loaded with your codebase and dependencies.

Integrated Claude Code

Candidates use AI the way they would on the job — monitored and measured.

Full Conversation Logs

Every prompt, response, and edit captured for complete process visibility.

Code Origin Tracking

Know which lines were human-written, AI-generated, or AI-modified.

AI Review Score

Automated scoring based on code quality, AI usage patterns, and problem-solving approach.

Configurable AI Constraints

Control what AI can access — full autonomy, restricted prompts, or no AI at all.

Time-Boxed Sessions

Set precise time limits. Candidates see a countdown; you see how they allocate time.

One-Click Invitations

Generate a unique link, send it to a candidate, and they're building in minutes.

Early Access

See how your candidates actually build.
