Catch AI-Optimised Developer CVs
Software engineers are the most likely demographic to use AI tools to rebuild CVs. HireXR detects hidden text, keyword stuffing, and inflated claims.
Technical Interview Question Packs
Generate probing questions about architecture decisions, system design, and code quality — tailored to each candidate\
Replace Tech Agency Fees
Tech recruitment agencies charge 15-25% of salary. HireXR delivers the same evaluation depth for $49/month per user.
Transparent Scoring
Every candidate score includes a written breakdown across four dimensions. Know exactly why a developer ranked where they did.
Screen 100+ Applications in Minutes
Software engineer roles attract 100-300+ applications. HireXR processes them all in a single batch, ranked and ready for review.
Why Software Engineer Hiring Needs Contextual Screening
Software engineers are technically sophisticated and familiar with AI tools — making them the most likely demographic to rebuild their CVs around your job description. Standard ATS platforms reward this: they count keywords and rank the most optimised CVs highest, not the most qualified developers.
HireXR reads experience the way a senior engineer would. Contextual CV screening understands that "designed and built a microservices API handling 10k requests/second" demonstrates more depth than listing "Java" and "microservices" in a skills section. ATS manipulation detection catches the hidden white text and keyword stuffing that standard ATS filters miss entirely.
From Screening to Technical Interview
Every shortlisted candidate arrives with a tailored interview question pack probing architecture decisions, system design, code quality, and the specific technical gaps between their CV and your requirements. Each question includes an expected answer framework at three levels.
This means your engineering team spends less time preparing and more time evaluating. For teams hiring across multiple tech stacks, HireXR calibrates questions to the specific domain — a backend engineer gets API design questions, a frontend developer gets component architecture questions, a full-stack engineer gets both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can HireXR screen software engineers effectively?
Yes. HireXR evaluates real project depth, technology stack experience, and career progression — not keyword density. A candidate who built and deployed production systems scores higher than one who merely listed technologies in a skills section.
Does HireXR detect AI-optimised developer CVs?
Yes. Software engineers are the most likely demographic to use AI tools to rebuild CVs. HireXR detects hidden white text, keyword stuffing, and claims inconsistent with stated work history.
Can it generate technical interview questions?
Yes. HireXR generates tailored questions about architecture, system design, code quality, and the specific gaps between each candidate\
How much does software engineer recruitment cost?
HireXR is $49/month per user with no per-hire fees. Tech recruitment agencies typically charge 15-25% of salary — $12,000 to $20,000 for a single developer hire at an $80k salary.
