Verified before the first call.
Replace phone screens and take-homes with a Lemma assessment invite. Get peer-validated SCI scores and full proof history before you schedule a single minute of your team's calendar.
6-hour interview loop — phone screen, take-home, 3 technical rounds, debrief. Still not sure if they can do the work.
30-minute peer session — verified SCI score, full proof history, tier level. You already know before the first call.
How it works
How Lemma fits your hiring flow
Send an invite
One link. Candidate completes sessions on their own schedule. No coordination required from your team until you've already seen the proof.
Candidate completes peer sessions
They demonstrate skills in live 1-on-1 sessions with practitioners. Real work, not puzzles. Practitioners rate performance after every session.
Review the SCI score
Before the first call, you see their verified score, skill tier, proof history, and session ratings — not a polished resume narrative.
Hire with confidence
Interview the person who already proved they can do the work. The final conversation becomes culture and team-fit, not skill interrogation.
Assessment invite flow — email input and link generation
Live peer session — candidate and reviewer in session
Candidate dashboard — SCI score, tier badge, session history
Hire decision — offer made with full verified evidence
Built for small teams
Verified before the interview.
One-link invite
Paste an email. The candidate gets a link, signs up in 5 minutes, and starts immediately.
Peer-verified scores
SCI scores come from live practitioner sessions — not self-reports or multiple choice.
Tier-based filtering
Set a minimum tier threshold. Only candidates who clear the bar enter your review queue.
Shareable passport
Share a candidate's verified passport with anyone on your team. No account required to view.

What founders and engineers say
We replaced our take-home with a Lemma invite. Candidate quality went up and time-to-offer dropped by 40%.
The SCI score told me more about the candidate in 30 seconds than a 1-hour phone screen ever did.
First hire through Lemma. No resume screening, one session review. She's been incredible from day one.
FAQ
Common questions
It replaces the phone screen and take-home test. You still meet the person — but you meet them already knowing they can do the work. The final interview becomes a culture and team-fit conversation.
Candidates typically complete sessions within 24–48 hours of receiving the invite. You get results as soon as they finish. The full flow from invite to verified score is usually under 2 days.
No. Sessions are live, peer-validated, and rated by practitioners — not self-reported. The SCI formula weights reliability and freshness, so inflated one-time scores decay over time.
Individual assessment invites are free up to 10 per month. Team plans start at a flat per-seat rate with unlimited invites and API access. Contact us for startup-friendly pricing.
