Replit Helps Synctera Uncover Hidden Talent

Synctera, a startup that connects fintech companies with regional banks, has recently seen rapid growth and is expanding its engineering team. Instead of traditional algorithmic tests, they've adopted Replit in their hiring process to assess candidates' potential.

Synctera's CTO Kris Hansen focuses on understanding candidates' actual development style, beyond simple coding ability. Through Replit's multiplayer editing feature, they evaluate in real time how candidates solve problems, how they collaborate with team members, and how they receive feedback.

They also use Replit's threads feature to exchange instant feedback directly on the code, checking candidates' adaptability and curiosity. These are essential capabilities in a high-uncertainty startup environment.

Synctera uses Replit Teams Pro for security and collaboration efficiency. This allows them to keep the hiring process private while building an environment where the whole team can evaluate candidates and continuously improve the interview process.
