Frequently Asked Questions

Can HireSquire tell the difference between junior and senior engineers?

Yes. HireSquire evaluates the depth and context of technical claims, not just keywords. It distinguishes between "completed a React tutorial" and "led the migration of a monolithic frontend to React micro-frontends."

What about candidates with non-traditional backgrounds?

HireSquire evaluates skills and experience, not pedigree. Bootcamp graduates with strong project experience will score well against requirements that match their actual capabilities.

How does the leniency setting work for engineering roles?

At leniency 1–3, HireSquire is forgiving: candidates with adjacent skills (e.g., Python when you asked for Java) still score decently. At 7–10, only exact matches score highly. We recommend 5–6 for most engineering roles.
