How it works
Engineer applies
Profile + structured AI video interview + LLM analysis on 5 axes. Free for engineers.
Admin qualifies
Tier and US work authorization confirmed and recorded on the engineer record.
Company browses for free
Hiring company browses anonymized profiles, sees interview scores, target tier, location and stack.
AI matching
Hard filters (availability, work auth, stack fit) plus semantic rerank suggest the best engineers for each role.
Unlock contact for $990
When the company wants to talk to a specific engineer, they pay a one-time $990 USD via Stripe Checkout.
Contact Introduction Agreement
On payment, the platform releases the engineer's full contact details and generates a one-page Introduction Agreement PDF with StartShop Inc letterhead.
Direct engagement
Company and engineer negotiate and contract directly on whatever terms they agree. StartShop is not a party to that engagement.
