Built for the engineers
powering our future.

The first evaluation platform built for hardware.

Candidates face real engineering problems inside Colare. You see exactly how they think, before they ever interview with your team.

Stop burning your best engineers on the wrong candidates

// 01

Resumes lie.
AI-generated applications make signal impossible to find.

// 02

Take-homes don't scale.
Your best engineers spend Friday grading submissions.

// 03

Panels reward the best interviewers.
Not the best engineers.

// 003 / SUBSYSTEM A

Colare lets you see the work before you make the call.

A three-step rig: select the role, watch the candidate build, see the signal, built for engineering teams that hire on evidence, not credentials.

PRODUCT 01 / SELECT

Pick the role. Skip the spreadsheet.

Paste a JD and build a custom assessment for your role. Choose from our library of engineer-vetted questions for your discipline and stack. Tune the constraints, add your own questions, or run as-is.

// FIELD NOTE
We use a manual process — which introduces bias. We have to lean on our limited tenured hiring leaders to give us a signal on whether someone's a good engineer. It's tough.
