Problem solved

Traditional screening methods like resume parsing, coding quizzes, and phone interviews often fail to capture a candidate's true ability, leading to hiring mismatches. Utkrusht replaces these with live production system evaluations, revealing how a candidate actually thinks, debugs, and makes decisions, thereby reducing guesswork and improving hiring outcomes.
