For Candidates

Prove what you can build. Skip generic resume filters and artificial whiteboard puzzles.

fact_checkHow Verification Works

Taqeem is an objective skill verification platform built specifically for software engineers. Instead of asking you to memorize esoteric algorithmic puzzles or answer multiple-choice trivia, Taqeem evaluates your actual ability to deliver production-grade software inside authentic workspaces.

boltFree to Explore

Browsing, your profile, and the public talent directory are free. Verification itself is invite-only at launch — Pro members or an invitation code.

terminalNative Git Workspaces

Work in a realistic repository with real dependencies, tests, linting rules, and git commits.

verifiedDirect Company Contact

Verified engineers get discovered directly by hiring teams looking for proven senior contributors.

view_timelineStage Breakdown (The 7 Stages)

The verification pipeline consists of 7 sequential stages, measuring every core dimension of real software engineering:

Stage 00

CV Parsing & Experience Extraction

schedule~30 sec

Automated extraction parses your resume to analyze technical domains, career progression, and frameworks. This initial signal calibrates challenge difficulty (Mid, Senior, Staff) and starter track.

  • check_circleAccepts PDF or DOCX format
  • check_circleIdentifies primary languages, databases, and architectural patterns
  • check_circleSets the baseline for relevant scenario selection
Stage 01

GitHub Architecture Analysis

Optional / Parallelschedule~2 min

Evaluates public repository contributions, code organization, commit patterns, and project structure. Crucially, this stage is completely optional: candidates without public profiles are never blocked or penalized.

  • check_circleParallel background process — does not block coding start
  • check_circleEmpty or skipped profiles are excluded from badge synthesis weights
  • check_circleSignals are explicitly disclosed on the final badge as verified, skipped, or none
Stage 02

Sandbox Coding Challenge

schedule~2 hrs

A real-world engineering problem situated inside a live containerized repository. Candidates implement production-ready features, handle edge cases, and run real unit and integration test suites.

  • check_circleOpen tracks: Backend and Full-stack. Frontend and Data & ML open after the pilot.
  • check_circleReal Git workspace with commit history and diff generation
  • check_circleEvaluated by multi-judge consensus for correctness, modularity, and cleanliness
Stage 03

Technical Architecture & Decisions Interview

schedule~30 min

An interactive architectural defense of your submission. You answer targeted questions defending design decisions, discussing trade-offs, concurrency models, and complexity bottlenecks.

  • check_circleFive questions grounded directly in the code you wrote in Stage 02
  • check_circleRuns in fullscreen with a webcam integrity check; three tab or fullscreen exits end the session
  • check_circleEvaluates communication clarity, architectural depth, and senior rationale
Stage 04

Multi-Judge Synthesis & Badge Issuance

schedule~1 min

Our multi-judge evaluation engine aggregates telemetry, hidden-test results, and the interview transcript into an engineering profile, then level gates decide whether the evidence supports the level the average suggests.

  • check_circleMulti-dimensional radar scores (Code Quality, Architecture, Problem Solving, Communication)
  • check_circleIssues a permanent verification badge with cryptographic audit ID
  • check_circleInstant option to list yourself in the Verified Talent Pool for companies

badgeWhat Your Badge Shows

When you complete the synthesis stage, Taqeem generates a tamper-evident engineering badge and a shareable verification link. Unlike static resume bullets, your badge represents verified proof of capability.

Verified Engineer Credential

Fullstack Engineer · Senior Tier

VERIFIED · 88/100
Code Quality & Architecture:91%
Problem Solving & Debugging:86%
Technical Communication:87%
GitHub Verified Signal:Verified

Every badge includes a permanent cryptographic hash and completion timestamp that anyone can verify online.

lockPrivacy & Visibility Controls

Candidates maintain complete ownership and control over their identity and assessment data:

visibilityGranular Talent Pool Visibility

Choose whether your profile is publicly visible in the talent directory or accessible only via private link.

blockCurrent Employer Exclusion

Blacklist specific company names and domains to prevent your current employer from seeing your verification status.

mark_email_readOpt-in Contact Requests

Companies cannot cold-email or spam you. They must send a formal contact request detailing role and salary, which you can accept or decline.

deleteData Deletion on Request

You can request complete deletion of your assessment recordings, code submissions, and profile from Settings → Integrations → Delete Account. The request is recorded immediately and your profile is hidden while the data is erased.

groupHow to Browse Talent

The Taqeem Verified Talent Pool (available at /talent) allows hiring teams to browse engineers who have completed our proctored verification.

Filtering & Search Capabilities:

  • checkEngineering Track: Backend and Full-stack are verified today; Frontend and Data & ML join after the pilot
  • checkSeniority Calibration: Junior/intern, Mid-level, Senior, or Staff/Lead engineers
  • checkVerified Score Range: Minimum benchmark scores across code quality and reasoning
  • checkCore Tech Stack: Python, TypeScript, React, Go, Node.js, SQL, Docker, etc.

analyticsWhat the Reports Contain

Unlike resume buzzwords or simple multiple-choice percentages, Taqeem evaluation reports provide granular, evidence-based engineering telemetry:

codeCode Quality & Architecture Review

Evaluates modular decomposition, idiomatic language patterns, separation of concerns, error handling, and test thoroughness.

record_voice_overArchitectural Defense Transcript

Full transcript and AI synthesis of how the candidate defended their architectural decisions, analyzed edge cases, and proposed trade-offs.

fact_checkIntegrity & Proctoring Telemetry

Clear/Review indicator from webcam presence, tab-switch and fullscreen-exit counts, and paste anomalies so your team has complete confidence.

Technical Specifications

Detailed architecture specifications covering sandbox execution, anti-cheat telemetry, and data privacy.

terminalAssessment & Sandbox Environment

Taqeem executes candidate code inside dedicated, ephemeral Linux containers. Each session receives isolated compute resources to prevent noisy-neighbor degradation:

Isolation Layer:Containerized Linux sandbox runners
Supported Toolchains:Python 3.11, Node.js 20, TypeScript 5, Go 1.22
Execution Timeout:Configurable per task (defaults 15s per test run)
Telemetry Stream:Buffered event telemetry synced via HTTPS

shieldAnti-Cheat Telemetry Overview

Trustworthy verification requires robust anti-cheat without violating developer dignity. Our telemetry focuses on non-invasive browser signals:

videocamWebRTC Camera Verification

Lightweight periodic frame checks during the coding and interview stages to confirm identity and continuous presence.

tabStage-aware tab policy

Uses the Page Visibility API. Coding logs sustained away-time and treats brief documentation lookups as context. The interview runs in fullscreen and ends after three tab or fullscreen exits.

keyboardKeystroke & Paste Pacing

Detects instant external code dumps while permitting standard developer copy-paste of test payloads and snippets.

psychologyMulti-Judge Consensus

Evaluation uses consensus across specialized LLM evaluators to prevent hallucinated deductions or single-prompt bias.

fact_checkData Retention & Security

We believe in factual transparency. We do not make false claims of SOC-2 certifications we have not completed; instead, we follow strict, verified defense-in-depth principles:

lockEncryption in Transit: All HTTP traffic enforced through TLS 1.3 with HSTS headers.
databaseStorage Security: Candidate CVs and code bundles stored in S3-compatible object storage with AES-256 server-side encryption.
securityRow Level Security (RLS): Multi-tenant isolation enforced directly at the PostgreSQL layer.
historyRetention Schedules: Assessment telemetry and session replay buffers are maintained for 90 days following completion, after which they are automatically pruned.
