AI evaluation

How Claude AI scores your work

Every submission is evaluated by Claude — Anthropic's state-of-the-art AI model — against the specific rubric defined by the company that posted the challenge. The result is an honest, consistent 0–100 score that reflects actual quality, not effort or presentation.

Traditional technical interviews are inconsistent — different interviewers, different moods, different questions. AI evaluation removes that variance. The same criteria applied to every submission, every time.

What gets scored

Technical depth

How well you understand and apply the core concepts required.

Problem-solving approach

How you break down the problem and what trade-offs you make.

Code or output quality

Readability, correctness, structure, and production-readiness.

Communication & presentation

How clearly you document, explain, and frame your work.

Completeness

Does your submission meet all stated requirements? Edge cases handled?

Evaluation engine

Powered by Claude AI

We chose Claude — Anthropic’s most capable AI — because evaluation requires more than pattern matching. It requires reasoning, nuance, and the ability to give feedback that helps candidates genuinely improve.

State-of-the-art reasoning

Claude reads your full submission the way a senior engineer would — understanding architectural decisions, weighing trade-offs, and catching subtle issues that keyword matches miss entirely.

Consistent, bias-free scoring

Every submission gets the same evaluator, the same rubric, the same standard. No interviewer variance. No unconscious bias. A candidate in Berlin gets the same fair review as one in São Paulo.

Feedback worth reading

Candidates receive paragraph-level notes on what worked and what to improve — not just a number. The kind of specific, honest feedback that most people never get from a standard job application.

Results delivered within 5 minutes of submission. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude API.

Our vision

A hiring system built on merit, not credentials.

A degree from the right university has been the hiring filter for decades. We believe it's the wrong filter. The best developers, designers, and analysts in the world are self-taught, bootcamp-trained, career-switched — and can't get past the CV screen.

Talento is a marketplace where the proof of your work speaks louder than anything on a CV. Where companies find candidates who can actually do the job, not just describe themselves as someone who might.

Every challenge completed, every score earned, every skill proven — this is the infrastructure for a more meritocratic tech industry.
