Hire the people who can tell when the AI is wrong.
A candidate reviews work an AI produced, with flaws planted on purpose: a pull request, a document, a design, a set of claims. You see what they caught, what they missed and what they invented, with the lines to prove it, a minute after they submit.
Free plan with five assessments a month. No card needed.
The sweep settles pending stock once, then expires each stale hold.
Click the line you would comment on. One of these lines is wrong.
How it works
- 1
Pick or generate an exercise
Start from the library, or generate one for the role in about four minutes. The generator plants the flaws and writes the answer key, and you approve it before any candidate sees it.
- 2
Send the link
The candidate opens it when they are ready. You decide whether there is a time limit and whether they get the assistant.
- 3
Read the score and decide
A draft score is ready a minute after they submit. Change anything you disagree with, pick a recommendation and finalize.
What the candidate sees
They get the whole repository, the diff, an assistant they can ask, and a verdict to give at the end. In this one the candidate has commented on a planted flaw and dismissed a claim the assistant made up.
What you see
- We planted the flaws, so every exercise comes with an answer key. The score can say which flaws were caught, which were missed and what was invented.
- The score is a draft until you finalize it. Every line links to the comment or prompt behind it, so you check the reasoning instead of taking a number on trust.
- Candidates who took the same exercise sit side by side, so you can see where each one lands.
- The assistant transcript is part of the record, so you can see what they asked it and whether they checked the answers.
Exercises for the work the role will do
Pick the kind of work the role does day to day. The code exercises are for engineers and data people. The rest work for any role.
- EngineersPR critique
- Senior engineers and architectsDesign review
- Data scientists and analystsVerify the claims
- Product, finance, operations and peopleDocument critique
- Sales and marketingRank the answers
- PR critique
- Review a generated pull request with planted issues, with an assistant that is sometimes wrong.
- Scored: Each planted flaw: caught alone, caught with the assistant, dismissed, or missed. The verdict. Assistant claims accepted when they were false.
- Challenge the AI
- An AI reviewer makes confident recommendations about a codebase. Some are good, some are not. Agree or push back with reasons.
- Scored: Each recommendation: the right call and the reason for it.
- Verify the claims
- An AI explains how the code and its libraries behave. Some claims are invented. Mark each true or false with evidence.
- Scored: Each claim: true or false, with the evidence named.
- Rank the answers
- One question from the role's field, three AI answers of different quality. Rank them and say why. Takes about ten minutes.
- Scored: The order of the three answers and the justification against the known flaws.
- Design review
- An AI proposes an architecture for stated requirements, as a diagram and a written proposal, with planted flaws. Comment on the design and give a verdict.
- Scored: Each planted flaw in the design, and the verdict.
- Rapid fire
- A timed deck of short cards, each a snippet or a small diagram with one claim. True, false, or not sure, with a few seconds per card. It shows whether their confidence matches their accuracy when there is no time to check.
- Scored: Each card: right, wrong, or not sure. Confident and wrong costs more than not sure.
- Document critique
- An AI wrote a document from a request and source material: a plan, an analysis, a proposal. Some of it is wrong. Comment on the document and give a verdict, with an assistant that is sometimes wrong.
- Scored: Each planted flaw in the document, the verdict, and the assistant claims accepted when they were false.

What happens to candidate data
Kept inside your organization
Every query is scoped to your organization. Candidate text is fenced before any model sees it, and no provider sees a CV during scoring.
Read moreExport and erase
Export everything held about a candidate as a file. Erase them in one click, with the CV, sessions and scores.
Read moreRetention you set
Choose how long closed candidates are kept. After that they are erased automatically and the erasure is logged.
Read moreA signed DPA in the terms
Processor terms are part of the terms of service, so there is nothing to negotiate before the first candidate.
Read moreSOC 2 is on the roadmap
We will publish the audit window once it is scheduled. Until then the security page says exactly what is in place, and what is not.
Read moreWhy we built it
Rankr started as the exercise Gearlay gave its own candidates. Once everyone arrived with an assistant, take-home tests and portfolio code stopped telling us anything; what separated people was whether they noticed when the assistant was wrong, and whether they could say why. We built that exercise, then the scoring, then the rest of the product around it. There are no customer logos on this page yet. We would rather be judged on the exercise.
