See how they think.
Atrium replaces coding puzzles with paid, real-world challenges and gives you an AI-powered window into how candidates actually reason, debug, and build.
The interview is broken. Everyone knows it.
You're hiring engineers who'll debug production code, navigate complex systems, and make judgment calls under pressure. So why are you testing them on binary tree inversions?
LeetCode doesn't tell you how someone thinks. Take-home projects don't tell you how they use tools. Whiteboard interviews don't tell you how they work under real conditions.
And nobody's paying candidates for their time.
An interview that works like the job.
Real challenges, not puzzles.
Upload your SDK docs. Atrium's AI generates a realistic debugging challenge using your actual tech stack. Candidates work in a full cloud environment with real tools, including AI assistants. Because that's how engineering works now.
See the thinking, not just the output.
Atrium's observation layer tracks how candidates approach problems in real-time. Do they read error logs before changing code? Do they form hypotheses? Do they lean on AI or think independently? You see what no interviewer sitting across a table could ever see.
Pay candidates for real work.
Every Atrium interview is a paid engagement. Candidates build something real with your tools. You get signal. They get compensated. The best people won't grind LeetCode for free, and they shouldn't have to.
How it works
Set up in a conversation.
Chat with Atrium's AI to design your interview. Upload a job description, the candidate's resume, and a link to your SDK docs. The AI builds a custom challenge and evaluation rubric tailored to what you actually care about.
Candidate builds in the open.
The candidate gets a link to a cloud sandbox with your challenge code and Claude Code. They debug, build, and ship, just like a real workday. No trick questions. No time pressure games.
Watch the signal, not the screen.
Your dashboard shows a live reasoning timeline: what the candidate is investigating, what hypotheses they're testing, how they use AI, and where they get stuck. Atrium's AI suggests follow-up questions based on your priorities.
Get a scorecard, not a gut feeling.
When the session ends, Atrium generates a comprehensive evaluation scored against your custom rubric. Strengths, concerns, AI usage patterns, and a clear hiring signal, all backed by specific evidence from the session.
An interview that respects your time.
No more unpaid take-homes. No more whiteboard theater. Atrium interviews are paid, real-world challenges where you work with modern tools in a real environment. You're evaluated on how you think and build, not whether you memorized Dijkstra's algorithm.
