Behind the scenes of an effective & inclusive hiring process
summary
Verve grows from 10 to 35 engineers in 18 months while hitting diversity targets of 33% women, 9% people of color by switching to evidence-based hiring: publish a performance profile, show salary, require a three-hour takehome using Python React GraphQL, and run a blind code review in a central GitHub repo. Onsite is a 2.5-hour panel with objective 1–5 scorecards in Notion, fast feedback and actionable notes, and iterative tweaks based on post‑mortems.
