Niche Skills, Few Internal Specialists
SuperProcure was hiring senior engineers in a relatively new market.
Niche Technical Bar
Senior roles needed assessment beyond standard resume screening.
Thin Specialist Bench
The needed domain expertise was not readily available across the internal team.
Practical Skill Unproven
CVs could not show coding ability, architecture thinking or problem-solving depth.
Early Integrity Confidence
Candidate performance needed integrity checks at the first stage.
One First-Level Assessment, Five Signals
SuperProcure used AI Interviews as its first technical evaluation layer.
Technical Evaluation
Role-relevant knowledge and senior-level requirements.
Practical Coding
Coding challenges tested working ability beyond CV claims.
Architecture and Problem-Solving
HLD, LLD and whiteboard exercises tested design thinking.
Integrity Checks
Checks ran inside the assessment before candidates progressed.
A Focused Pool for Internal Rounds
HR and managerial rounds began with structured evidence.
Broader Evidence
Candidates were assessed on several senior-level dimensions, not one screen.
Focused Internal Pool
14 of 74 completed interviews moved to SuperProcure's own rounds.
Decisions Stayed Internal
SuperProcure's HR and managers retained later evaluation and the offer decisions.
