Technical assessment, recruitment & dedicated teams
Hire for the work
your team actually does.
Start with the right work and the skills and judgement it requires. Our technical practitioners assess and recruit people who fit that work, or help you build a dedicated team.
Discuss a role or teamRecruitment experience
More useful customer interviews.
- Before the engagement
- More than 200 candidates interviewed over a year, without a hire.
- With technical pre-screening
- Two data engineers hired after five customer interviews, within one month.
A large European fast-moving consumer-goods company was establishing a new GCC in India. Cornerstone Red assessed candidates’ technical ability before the customer interviews.
This is the result of one engagement, rather than a promised hiring ratio or timetable.
Read the hiring caseTell us what your team does. We can turn that into hiring criteria.
We interview hiring managers and technical employees, examine the technology stack and understand the actual work. That establishes the career experience, technical judgement and ways of working a role needs. The assessment criteria come from the decisions and tasks the person will encounter.
You can bring defined roles or the capability you want to build. We can identify the roles required, write job descriptions and help recruiters understand what to look for. Data engineering, data science and AI engineering are specialities, not boundaries: assessment and recruitment are independent offers, including non-AI roles.
Understanding Indian and Western working cultures informs how we evaluate fit with your team and its ways of working throughout the process.
Support that fits your starting point.
Assess an existing shortlist, recruit for a defined need or establish a dedicated team.
Technical pre-assessment
Keep your existing candidate sources and use standalone technical assessment. We evaluate relevant ability and document the evidence and recommendations before your interviews.
Your hiring team gets a better basis for discussing a candidate’s fit with the role and organisation.
Full-cycle recruitment
We find and assess candidates for the roles you need, supporting recruitment through offer. The criteria come from your work, whether you already have a specification or need help defining one.
CV screening and an HR interview are followed by live technical assessment, including live coding where relevant. We agree commercial terms for each engagement; success-based fees apply where agreed.
Dedicated capability building
If you know the capability you need but not the team shape, we can identify the roles and build a dedicated customer team.
Where your organisation or GCC is not yet ready to employ the team directly, Cornerstone Red can initially employ and incubate the people, then transition them into your organisation.
