Algora / How it works
From job description to hire
Share a job description and receive handpicked engineers within hours. Interview the ones you like. Pay 20% of first-year salary only when you hire.
01 The steps
What happens after you share a role, and when.
-
1
Share your job description
When: Day one.
Send the job description or your careers page URL, with the tech stack, location and compensation. Use the form at the bottom of this page or book a call.
-
2
We rank and handpick candidates
When: Within hours of your job description.
Algora ranks engineers by their open source contributions, experience and background. Our team sends you the ones who fit the role.
Typically 3 to 5 handpicked candidates per week.
-
3
Candidates arrive in your inbox, Slack and Ashby
When: As soon as each candidate is ready to interview.
Each candidate arrives by email and in Slack, and is added to your Ashby pipeline automatically. Your team reviews them where it already works.
-
4
Your feedback sharpens the ranking
When: With every like, pass, note and interview.
Likes, passes, notes and interview feedback go back into the ranking. Your agent also learns from the profiles of your past hires.
It is backtested against your known outcomes, so that hired candidates rank above archived ones.
-
5
Optional paid trial
When: Before a full-time offer, if you want one.
You can work with a candidate on a paid trial before you make a full-time offer.
-
6
Hire
When: When your offer is accepted.
You pay 20% of the engineer's first-year salary. CodeRabbit saw its first candidates one week after onboarding and hired after a month of interviews. Read the CodeRabbit story.
