01 / Weak signal
Poor technical signal wastes your team’s time
A CV shows where someone worked. It rarely proves what they owned - so your senior people spend interviews uncovering basic gaps instead of testing depth and fit.
ByteHire moves that work earlier.

02 / The solution
We remove the noise before it reaches your calendar
Every dot is a candidate claim. Most of the market is volume you should never have to look at. The validation layer holds it back, and only the evidence-supported few come out the other side. Move your cursor through the stream.

05 / Technical authority
Built from the other side of the engineering table
Paul Dragoonis shaped ByteHire from experience with the hard part of technical hiring: knowing what good looks like, finding credible people and protecting hiring teams from poor-fit interviews.
His authority comes from engineering leadership, building and running technical teams, open-source contribution, PHP and software engineering communities, international conferences and panels, and trusted relationships with practitioners who understand the work.

06 / How ByteHire works
From candidate claims to interview-ready evidence
ByteHire acts as a validation layer between the candidate market and your interview process. Four forces carry every search from claim to evidence.
01Authority / Observed
Engineering credibility
Paul Dragoonis brings the perspective of a Principal Engineer who has built teams and carried the hiring burden from the technical side.
02Reach / Relevant
Trusted technical relationships
ByteHire's reach comes from credibility inside engineering, open-source and specialist software communities, not broad CV supply.
03Judgement / Practitioner-led
Practitioner-led evaluation
Relevant subject matter experts examine technical claims against the work the role actually needs.
04Evidence / Structured
The Screening Pack
The output makes strengths, gaps and interview focus visible before your team decides who to meet.
07 / Client proof
Evidence in, better hires out
Technical and product leaders on what changed once technical validation happened before the interview.

The Technical Validation Layer
Validate the role before the first serious technical interview
If the hire will affect delivery, architecture, product quality or company direction, start with structured evidence. ByteHire can help clarify the role, evaluate candidate claims and give your team a shortlist worth serious attention.
