Our Rigorous 4-Stage Vetting Process
Only 1% of applicants make it through our vetting process. We screen for AI proficiency, coding ability, problem-solving, communication, and startup culture fit.
Stage 1: AI-Readiness Check
We review resume, projects, and AI tooling experience. 39% of candidates advance. We look for demonstrated experience with AI tools in real projects — not just buzzwords on a resume.
Stage 2: Technical Deep Dive
Real-world coding challenges and live technical evaluations. 16% advance. We test not just coding ability, but how effectively candidates use AI tools to solve complex problems under realistic conditions.
Stage 3: Founder Fit Assessment
Communication skills, startup mindset, and cultural alignment evaluation. 7% advance. Great engineers who cannot communicate effectively or adapt to startup culture do not make it through this stage.
Stage 4: Final Cut
The top 1% of AI-native developers are selected. These engineers have proven exceptional across every dimension: technical skill, AI proficiency, communication, and cultural fit.
The full picture
Most developer platforms rely heavily on automated testing or self-reported skills. DevDen is different. Every candidate goes through a manual, multi-stage vetting process conducted by experienced engineers and hiring specialists. We evaluate the complete picture: not just whether someone can write a sorting algorithm, but whether they can architect a real-world system, communicate clearly with a non-technical founder, and leverage AI tools to deliver exceptional results. The result is a curated pool of developers you can trust from day one.
