It reads the résumé like a skeptic.
Claims are parsed, checked for consistency, then tested live. Specific, lived-in answers hold up. Rehearsed ones don’t.

Interview Engine
Every role gets the interview it deserves. Every candidate gets the same bar.
One engine runs every Recio interview, tuned to the role you're hiring, the stack your team runs, and the level you need.

The four layers of the interview engine
Layer 01
Résumé verification
The interview opens on the candidate’s own claims, probing each one until it holds or breaks.
Layer 02
Technical depth
Adaptive follow-ups go one layer deeper each time, at the depth the role and level demand.
Layer 03
Real-world scenarios
Production incidents and trade-offs from the stack your team actually runs. Not trivia.
Layer 04
Hands-on labs
Claims get tested in a live environment. What they did, not what they said, becomes the evidence.
Four layers. One engine.
Every score in the report traces back to a moment inside one of these four layers.
The roles you're hiring. Not a generic ‘tech screen.’

It interviews the way your best interviewer does. Every time.
Four habits of a great first-round interviewer, built into the engine, so every candidate meets the same rigor.
It finds the real stack.
AWS required? The interview holds that line. Any cloud accepted? They’re tested in the one they actually know.
2Stack matching
It goes as deep as the role needs.
Questions at the right depth, production scenarios with real trade-offs, and hands-on labs, all weighted to your JD.
3Calibrated depth
It adapts, but never lowers the bar.
Same competencies, same rubric for every candidate. Only the surface questions change, so prep sites can’t game it.
4One bar for all
A junior and a staff engineer shouldn't get the same interview.
Recio calibrates to experience across four bands: 0–2, 2–5, 5–8, and 8–12 years. Early-career candidates get fundamentals and a guided lab. Senior candidates get architecture, production judgment, and harder labs with briefs that are deliberately incomplete, because at that level not asking the right questions is the red flag. Scoring shifts the same way: recall matters less as level rises, while design and judgment matter more.
