for engineers & recruiters
Hire the engineer, not the resume.
Send a Lemma assessment invite. Candidates prove their skills in real peer sessions. You get a verified SCI score before the first call — no take-homes, no coding theater.
Stop interviewing. Start verifying.
A Lemma assessment invite replaces the phone screen and the take-home. Candidates prove their skills in real peer sessions rated by practitioners. You see the score before the first calendar invite.
6-hour interview loop — phone screen, take-home, 3 technical rounds. Still not sure if they can actually do the work.
30-minute peer session. Verified SCI score. Full proof history. You know before the first call. The interview is just culture and fit.
How it works
How Lemma fits your hiring flow
Send an assessment invite
Paste a candidate's email. They receive a link, create an account in under 5 minutes, and complete peer sessions on their own schedule.
Candidate completes a peer session
The candidate joins a live peer session on Lemma. A practitioner rates their performance. The SCI score updates in real time.
Review SCI score and session notes
Before the first call you see their SCI score, tier, session history, and peer ratings — not a polished resume narrative.
Make the offer with confidence
You've already seen the proof. The live interview becomes a culture conversation, not a skill interrogation. Cut offer time in half.
Assessment invite — email input and generated link

From hiring teams
What engineering managers and recruiters say
We replaced the take-home with a Lemma invite. First-round pass rate went up 60% because we were already talking to people who could actually do the job.
The SCI score and proof history replaced our entire phone screen. We go straight to a final-round culture conversation.
Candidates love it too. They show us real proof of their work instead of grinding Leetcode for a week before each interview.
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 live conversation becomes culture and fit, not skill interrogation.
Candidates typically complete their assessment sessions within 24–48 hours of receiving the invite. You get results as soon as they finish each session.
No. SCI scores are computed from peer-reviewed live sessions. Each session has a counterpart — another practitioner who rates the quality of the work. There is no self-reporting in the scoring model.
They sign up when they receive the invite. Onboarding takes under 5 minutes and the first session can start immediately. No pre-existing account required.
Your next engineer is already proven. You just haven't found them yet.
No take-homes. No coding theater. Just verified signal.
