A senior backend engineer told us she spent 11 hours in one week interviewing candidates — more than a full working day she did not spend shipping the product she was hired to build.
Multiply those hours across a team of six engineers during a hiring push, and you lose an entire person's month to interviews — most of them for candidates who never get an offer. That is the quiet tax on engineering teams, and almost no one accounts for it.
We started Koynfeedo because interviewing is real, skilled work — and it should not be a side hustle squeezed between sprints. We run structured technical and behavioral rounds for our clients, with trained interviewers, a clear rubric, and a written scorecard after every single conversation.
You still make the hiring call. We just make sure it's based on consistent, well-documented signal instead of whoever happened to be free that afternoon.
Everything we build comes back to that idea: fairness for candidates, focus time for engineers, and defensible decisions for hiring managers. Calibration, scorecards, reducing bias, and what actually makes a technical interview fair — that's the work, and we're happy to do the unglamorous parts.

A short list, because the work is simple to describe and hard to do consistently.
We decide what a good answer looks like before we meet the candidate — then judge everyone against that fixed standard, not against each other's luck.
“Chose a queue to decouple the services and explained the trade-off” beats “seemed solid.” Evidence is what makes a scorecard defensible weeks later.
Every candidate gets a professional, human interview from someone who knows the domain — not a rushed 30 minutes with an engineer pulled off a deadline.
We're early and we're small on purpose. We'd rather have clients who value a fair, well-run interview than a big logo count. If that's the kind of hiring you want to run, that's the kind of partner we try to be.
We'll send you a real anonymised scorecard so you can see exactly what a Koynfeedo round produces — before you commit to anything.
