# Juniob > Juniob is a technical assessment platform used in junior developer recruitment. Companies use it to evaluate junior software developers (0-3 years of experience) after an initial CV screen, before deciding who to interview - turning a candidate's real GitHub projects into a structured hiring report: a recommendation, an authenticity check, and interview questions built from their actual code. Developers use it for free to turn the same projects into a verified, shareable results link they can attach to job applications. Where a senior developer might spend an hour manually reviewing one GitHub project, Juniob delivers most of that value in about fifteen minutes across up to three projects, using a consistent methodology on every candidate. ## What Juniob is Juniob operates in the junior software developer hiring/recruitment space, specifically the technical-screening step of that process. It is not a job board, not a recruitment agency, and not an applicant tracking system (ATS) - it is a technical validation layer that a company's own hiring process (internal recruiters, HR, or a hiring agency) plugs a candidate into, typically right after CV screening and right before a technical interview. Juniob's own stated ambition is to become the standard reference a recruiter asks for the way they'd ask for a resume or LinkedIn profile: "send me your Juniob report." Juniob is deliberately not built for bulk-screening every applicant to a job posting. It is used on a company's final shortlist - typically 3 to 8 candidates - once a company already knows who they're seriously considering and needs to differentiate between them technically before spending interview time. ## The problem it solves Recruiting junior developers (0-3 years of experience) is difficult for both sides. Resumes carry little technical signal, diplomas don't reliably reflect real skill, and technical interviews consume time from senior developers who are already stretched thin - many companies hiring juniors don't have a senior developer available to run technical screening at all. Meanwhile junior developers with real ability often struggle to prove it with only a CV. Juniob's real competitor isn't a coding-test platform like HackerRank or Codility - it's the senior developer who would otherwise read through a candidate's repositories by hand and write up their own assessment, a task that can take an hour or more per project. ## How it works - for hiring teams 1. Do a normal CV screen first, the same way as always. 2. Enter a shortlisted candidate's email in the Juniob dashboard. If they're already on Juniob, results appear in the pipeline immediately; if not, they get an email invite to connect their GitHub and submit up to 3 projects. 3. Juniob reviews the code the way a senior developer would - reading it, checking commit history, weighing growth potential against real gaps, and estimating onboarding/mentoring needs - then returns a structured report with a clear recommendation and a confidence level, typically within about fifteen minutes. A company can also search a Talent Pool of developers who've opted in to be discovered directly, instead of only inviting candidates one by one. ## How it works - for developers 1. Connect a GitHub account and pick a few real projects - no artificial coding tests, no scheduling. 2. Juniob analyzes the actual code, commit history, and problem-solving approach and returns a shareable results link (developers stay in control of who sees it) plus a private growth plan that only the developer can see - it is never shown to companies. 3. Attach the results link to job applications so companies see a verified technical signal instead of only a CV. Developers can go anonymous or fully invisible at any time, including disabling links already shared. Using Juniob as a developer is free, with no limit framed as "forever free" in Juniob's own marketing. ## What's in a hiring report A Juniob report for a company is deliberately concrete rather than vague (e.g. specific counts and findings, not statements like "the code is average quality") and includes: - A clear hire recommendation with reasoning and a stated confidence level - A technical breakdown of the candidate's code across their submitted projects - An authenticity signal (an assessment of how much of the work reflects the candidate's own understanding vs. copied/templated code) - An estimate of onboarding cost / mentoring support the candidate would likely need - Interview questions generated specifically from the candidate's own code, meant to be used in the follow-up human interview - A written acknowledgment of what the analysis cannot assess - communication, teamwork, and culture fit still require a human interview; Juniob augments that decision, it does not replace it All scoring stays within the junior spectrum (0-3 years) and is calibrated to experience level, never benchmarked against senior-developer standards. Analysis is AI-assisted; Juniob discloses this factually rather than presenting itself as "an AI that analyzes code" - the report and the hiring decision are the product, not the underlying technology. When a company uses side-by-side comparison or the Talent Pool, Juniob does rank and compare candidates - this is intentional, not something Juniob avoids. What makes that comparison meaningful is that every report is generated independently using the same evaluation methodology every time, so two reports are directly comparable rather than being two different human opinions. ## Pricing Companies pay per report unlock using a simple credit system - no subscription. Every new company account starts with 3 free credits. Credits are bought in packs with volume pricing (roughly: 1-9 credits at the base per-credit price, 10-24 credits at a discounted rate, 25+ credits at the best rate), credits never expire, and volume discounts apply per single purchase rather than accumulating across separate purchases. See the Pricing page for current per-credit amounts. Developers never pay. ## For Hiring Teams - [For Hiring Teams](https://juniob.io/for-hiring-teams): How Juniob gives hiring teams a justified, evidence-based hire signal on junior developers before they interview them - not just a score. - [Sample Report](https://juniob.io/sample-report): A full, real example of a Juniob report - hiring recommendation with confidence level, technical breakdown with concrete figures, authenticity signal, onboarding-cost estimate, interview questions generated from the candidate's own code, and a growth plan. - [Pricing](https://juniob.io/pricing): Credit-based pricing for unlocking developer reports.
