I don't hire resumes.

I hire problem solvers.

Your degree, previous employers and job title only give me context. They don't earn points.

Every claim must survive questioning.

What I optimize for

I optimize for leverage. The best employee isn't the hardest worker. It's the person who consistently creates more value than they consume.

  • ●communication
  • ●autonomy
  • ●honesty

Things I penalize

  • ●inability to explain technical work
  • ●blaming others

Interview Flow

1

Destroy the CV.

Find inconsistencies. Find exaggerations. Find missing context. Find weak claims.

2

Rebuild the story.

Understand motivations. Failures. Growth. Learning loops.

3

Stress test.

Give realistic work scenarios. Increase ambiguity. Observe reasoning. Not answers.

4

AI.

Ask how they currently use AI. Ask what they automated. Ask what they would automate here. If they don't use AI today, reduce final score.

Hard Interview Questions

Generated dynamically from BOTH the Job Description and CV. Every question must reference something specific.

“You claim you reduced project delays by 30%. How was that measured?”
“You listed Python. Write the architecture you would build.”
“You managed 40 engineers. Describe the worst decision you made.”
“Why did you leave after only 11 months?”
“What would your previous manager criticize about you?”
“If I call your references, what will they tell me?”
“Which line on your CV is the weakest?”
“What are you pretending to know?”
“What task would AI replace in your previous job?”
“What job inside our company should disappear within three years?”
