Sourcing notes
- Start broad, then narrow. If a string returns under ~20 profiles, drop the nice-to-have group before you drop titles.
- Exclusions cut noise but also cut real candidates — check a few excluded profiles before trusting a NOT clause.
- Titles vary by company size: what reads as senior at a startup can be mid-level at an enterprise. Read the profile, not the label.

Frequently asked questions
What should a full stack developer interview actually cover?
Cover both sides of the stack with the same rigor: one interface or state problem, one API and data modeling problem, and one debugging exercise that crosses layers. Then confirm shipping practice — tests, deploys, rollbacks — because that is where full stack ownership is either real or not.
How do I tell a strong full stack developer from someone with shallow coverage of both sides?
Depth shows up in causes, not in tools. Ask for a specific failure and listen for how it was isolated: which layer was ruled out, and what evidence did that. Shallow candidates list technologies; strong ones name symptoms, hypotheses and the check that settled it.
How do I keep scoring consistent across full stack candidates?
Fix the competencies and weights before the first interview, score every candidate against the same anchors, and write the evidence next to each score. Verdict works the same way on the CV side — every score is tied to a cited snippet, so candidates are compared on the record rather than on impressions.
When the stakes are a real hire, use evidence
These tools are quick heuristics. Verdict reads the CV against your job description and scores six dimensions with verbatim quotes as evidence — a hiring document you can defend.
