Gonfire watches every keystroke, every prompt, every decision. Real codebase. Real complexity. Zero interview theater.
AI didn't just change how engineers code. It nuked the rituals you've been using to hire them.
Every candidate ships the same Cursor-generated solution. You have no idea who can actually engineer.
Whiteboard inversions are theater. The job is judgment, taste, and recovery. None of which fit a 45-minute slot.
The PR looks great. But did they design it, debug it, or did Claude do the whole thing in one prompt? You'll find out at month three.
Define it in five minutes. Send the link. Get a complete picture back, automatically.
Point Gonfire at any GitHub repo. Pick the area you want candidates to work in. Pick the signals that matter.
No local setup. No toy problems. They get a browser-based VS Code with Claude Code attached, working against your actual codebase.
10 independent agents review against your rubric. Every line classified human / AI / AI-modified. Full session replay. Auto-generated debrief questions.
Hover any line to see who wrote it. We track not just keystrokes but intent: human-original, AI-generated whole-cloth, or AI-suggested-then-edited.
One human reviewer has a bad day. 10 specialist agents grade independently against your rubric, then aggregate. The result is a more reliable signal than any single interviewer can produce.
Every keystroke, every prompt, every Claude response, every test run. Scrub the timeline like a debugger. Spot the moment they figured it out, or the moment they gave up and pasted.
Other platforms bolted AI on. We were built around it from day zero.

We cut our interview loop from three weeks to one afternoon. The line-by-line attribution caught two senior candidates who would have slipped through.
The replay is the killer feature. Watching how a candidate prompts Claude tells me more about their judgment than any whiteboard ever did.
Every plan includes the full platform. You only pay for the assessments you run.
Candidates work in isolated, ephemeral sandboxes. Your repo is mirrored read-only and shredded at the end of each session. SOC 2 Type II + Cloud-region pinning available on Enterprise.
Yes, that's the point. Claude Code is built in. Bring-your-own-key Cursor / Copilot is supported on Growth+. Every prompt and response is logged for review.
93% on our internal labeled benchmark of 5,000+ submissions. We classify lines as human-original, AI-generated, or AI-suggested-then-modified, using keystroke timing, paste detection, and prompt context.
TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, C++. Any framework that runs in a Linux container. We've tested Next.js, Rails, FastAPI, Spring, and dozens more. If your stack runs in Docker, it works.
4.7 / 5 average from 8,000+ post-assessment surveys. Most say it's the first interview that felt like the actual job, because it is.
