The platform for paid work trials.
Replace interviews with structured paid work trials. Real code, real collaboration, measurable AI fluency — over days, not artificial hour-long assessments.
How it works
One platform for the entire trial lifecycle
Onboarding, AI tool provisioning, daily activity tracking, async standups, evaluation, and payment — replacing the Notion + Slack + GitHub + email sprawl most teams run trials on today.
Invite a candidate
Set the scope, rubric, and duration. Candidate accepts via GitHub OAuth and connects payout in one flow.
They do real work
2–7 days in your repo with your AI tools. Daily standups land in the dashboard. Telemetry runs in the background.
Reviewers give blind feedback
Manager and peers score the rubric independently. No groupthink. Candidate self-assessment optional.
Dossier auto-generates
Auto-scored AI fluency, GitHub activity, and reviewer synthesis in one document. Payment releases on activity thresholds.
Measurable signal
The 2026 hiring competency is AI fluency. We measure it.
Half of candidates use AI in interviews. Interviews can't tell you how someone uses AI over a week of real work — TrialLoop can. Every trial produces a dossier with objective auto-scored data alongside structured reviewer feedback.
Candidates see their own metrics. Companies see the full picture.
AI fluency
Acceptance rates, override patterns, model choice, token consumption — measured across the whole trial via Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code admin APIs.
GitHub activity
Commits, PRs, code reviews, and engagement consistency from a read-only GitHub App. No personal access tokens.
Async communication
Standup quality, blocker articulation, response to feedback. The signal interviews can never produce.
Trust signals
Anti-gaming detection across commit timing, device consistency, and activity gaps. Surfaced for due diligence — not blocking.
Why trials, not interviews
A 1-hour interview can't tell you what a week of real work can
Hire on real work, not interview theatre.
We're building TrialLoop for engineering teams that want measurable signal on how candidates actually work with AI. Be the first to know when we launch.
