From 1,000s of candidates
to your perfect hire.

The Problem
Hiring engineers is broken.
Existing tools digitise the process. They don't fix it.

The Pipeline
How Lapiz works
Four automated stages refine the candidate pool — from 1,000+ sourced to a focused shortlist.
Why Lapiz
Built differently.
Not another ATS. A full-stack hiring engine designed to find engineers who actually know their craft.
CV-adaptive questioning
Every interview is personalised to the candidate's own background. No generic scripts — our agent probes where it matters.
RAG-grounded evaluation
Our deliberation agent is grounded in a curated knowledge base. It cannot hallucinate a pass. Confident-sounding nonsense fails every time.
Bias-audited scoring
Every candidate is evaluated on performance alone. No name, photo, or university prestige bias. The same rubric applied at scale.
Real code & pseudo-code evaluation
Candidates write and explain code — our agent identifies gaps in real-time and adjusts difficulty accordingly.
Anti-cheating built in
Session recording, time pressure, and adaptive follow-ups that surface genuine understanding.
End-to-end automation
From cold sourcing to a ranked shortlist — no recruiter coordination, no scheduling overhead.
“The hiring process hasn't changed in 30 years. Lapiz changes it.”
