Technical interview outsourcing and hiring support
Arokha provides technical interview outsourcing and hiring support for companies hiring software engineers. Our engineers screen and interview candidates against your stack and seniority bar, write clear hire or no-hire recommendations with reasons, and design rubrics your own team can keep using.
Who it's for
Built for teams like yours
- Founders hiring their first engineers without a technical co-founder
- Engineering teams whose senior people are losing hours to interviews
- HR and recruitment teams that need a credible technical evaluator
- Business leaders hiring a technical lead and unsure how to assess one
Problems we solve
What usually goes wrong
Interviews eat engineering time
Senior engineers spend days on early-stage screens. We take the first rounds so your team only meets strong candidates.
Inconsistent assessment
Different interviewers ask different questions and score differently. Structured rubrics make decisions comparable.
Costly mis-hires
A wrong engineering hire costs months. Written evaluations against an agreed bar reduce gut-feel decisions.
Slow pipelines lose candidates
Good candidates accept other offers while you schedule. Fast, structured screening keeps the pipeline moving.

FAQs
Common questions about Technical Hiring & Interview Support
How does technical interview outsourcing work?
You share the role and candidates; we agree the bar with you, run the technical screen or interview, and send a written evaluation with a hire or no-hire recommendation. Your team then meets only the candidates worth their time.
Who makes the final hiring decision?
You do. We provide structured evidence and a recommendation; the decision, the offer and the relationship with the candidate stay with you.
Which roles can you interview for?
Software engineering roles across frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile, cloud and DevOps, and AI engineering, from junior developers to technical leads.
Do you source candidates as well?
Our focus is technical assessment rather than sourcing. We work with candidates from your own channels, job boards or recruiters, and can help write job descriptions that attract the right applicants.
How do you keep candidate information confidential?
We use candidate data only to assess them for your role, share evaluations only with the people you nominate, and delete or return the material when the engagement ends, as agreed in our contract.
