Process intelligence for hiring

Hiring a data analyst?

Are you afraid that candidates use AI to do your task? You should be afraid that they do not. We will help you know how well they are able to work with AI.

Scored against a senior analyst's gold-standard solution
Why the old way fails

A finished analysis tells you almost nothing anymore. A strong analyst and someone who pasted your task into an LLM hand in the same deliverable.

SIGNAL: GONE

The CV screen

Every CV that reaches you was polished by the same few models. A keyword screen now measures prompt quality — on the one document where it tells you nothing.

SIGNAL: FAKEABLE

The take-home

You grade a deliverable an AI can produce in minutes: polished, correct, and identical to the next candidate's. The thinking — if there was any — happened somewhere you can't see.

SIGNAL: BACKWARDS

The AI ban

Forbidding AI tests for a job that no longer exists. Your strongest candidates use it anyway — so the ban selects for whoever hides it best.

AI is part of the job now. The question isn't whether candidates use it — it's who is steering.

How it works

Three steps, no surveillance.

STEP 01

Give a real task — AI encouraged

The candidate works an actual problem from your role with an in-app AI assistant. No lockdown, paste allowed. Using AI isn't cheating here — it's the skill being measured.

STEP 02

Everything is recorded

Every prompt, every notebook cell, every revision — captured as it happens, with full session replay. The work, not the person.

STEP 03

You read the process report

Directing vs delegating, canary caught or shipped, and a clear Hire / Borderline / No — with the proof one click away.

The artifact

Read the work like you watched it happen.

One page per candidate. The score against a gold-standard solution, the canary moment, the directing-vs-delegating ratio, and the full session replay behind every claim — so "trust me" never has to be part of the report.

Illustrative mock — numbers are not from a real candidate.
The two signature measures

One planted trap. One running ratio.

MEASURE 01

The canary

We plant one plausible-but-false claim in the AI's output. Strong candidates notice it, check it, and remove it. Whether they caught it is the first thing on every report.

caught → flaggedshipped → reported
MEASURE 02

Directing vs delegating

Every prompt is classified: did they direct the AI through their own process, or hand the thinking over? The ratio is the senior-vs-junior tell.

directing — decisive
delegating — drifting
Who built this

We've sat on your side of the table.

Steer is built by people who have hired for these exact roles themselves — data analysts, developers, designers, product managers, operations — at Revolut, at Printify, and for companies of their own. We know what a stack of polished, identical, AI-assisted take-homes feels like. Steer is the tool we needed and couldn't find.

Hired forData analysts, developers, designers, product managers, operations
BackgroundProduct management at Revolut and Printify; two EU-grant-backed companies co-founded
The painIdentical take-homes, confident interviews — and no signal about how anyone actually works
Fair by design

Candid with candidates, too.

No webcam, no lockdown

No proctoring, no full-screen jail, no keystroke surveillance.

The work, not the person

We record prompts, cells, and revisions — the process, never the human behind it.

Anonymized for reviewers

Reviewers score the work with identifying details hidden.

SOC 2 in progress

Enterprise-grade data handling, on the audit path. In progress — not yet certified.
