Discovering the best engineers
with the right questions.
We run through several candidates, and a very small percentage of those impress a panel of interviewers with great expectations. This is huge investment of everyone’s time and as a result, more effective pre-screening is required. - Prasad B, Staff Engineer at Dolby Labs.

This is how GapJumpers compares to my regular hiring process.
A few months ago, I had
the need TO GROW MY TEAM.I knew that
finding the right person
WASN’T GOING TO BE EASY!
It was the same feeling of
HELPLESSNESS & UNCERTAINTYlike the last time I was hiring…
But, this time
I decided to try GapJumpers.
When I got a call from the guys at GapJumpers I was impressed by their understanding of my problem. - I was receiving too many irrelevant applications for openings in my team. - I was spending time interviewing candidates who were not motivated. - It was apparent that the skills of people did not match our expectations.
On GapJumpers, I wanted…
… my questions to evaluate the candidates based on a core set of skills that I thought were important for success on the job. !
• Resourcefulness (study existing approaches to video scene cut detection), • Evaluate their approach to solving the problem while discussing trade-offs • Software Design skills • Provide an implementation that is optimized for a specific platform
(Implement the approach on a GPU) • Overall presentation and written communication skills
Within 5 days, I received answers
from applicants in various universities in America.

I FELT GREAT!I was in control of the quality of my applicants.
I only received answers from motivated and committed applicants.
I could now schedule interviews with confidence.
IT’S EASY TO PICK THE BEST!“A response on GJ clearly demonstrates a candidate’s motivation to work for Dolby by requiring an investment of their time to tackle a work related problem within a stipulated time - as a pre-screening step. This helps weed out candidates that lack the drive to work for Dolby.”

GJ allowed me to pre-screen candidates at my own convenience before taking the decision to invite someone for an interview. This is bound to improve interview conversion rates. - Prasad B, Staff Engineer at Dolby Labs.
