A real interview, not a chat
The same question set and the same rubric for every candidate applying to the same role — with an optional live coding round. Consistency is what makes the comparison between two candidates mean anything.
Most agencies forward a CV and an impression from a phone call. We run every candidate through a structured, scored technical interview first — then send you the evaluation report alongside the CV, so your first conversation starts from evidence.
By the time a shortlist reaches your engineering team, someone has usually already decided who is worth their time — based on a keyword match and a fifteen-minute call. That is why so many technical interviews start from zero, and why so many end in a polite no after an hour that nobody can get back.
The cost lands on both sides. Your team burns hours re-screening. Good candidates get filtered out by people not equipped to assess them, and never find out why.
Shift Consulting is the services division of GoodShift Private Limited, a product company that built CypherMeet — an interview platform used to run structured, scored technical rounds. We use our own tool on every candidate.
The same question set and the same rubric for every candidate applying to the same role — with an optional live coding round. Consistency is what makes the comparison between two candidates mean anything.
Which topics were covered, how correct the answers were, where the candidate struggled, and how they handled being stuck. Not a score out of ten with no working shown.
Candidates see their own report. They are never charged a fee. Integrity checks, when a client wants them, are explained and consented to before anything begins.
No black box, no mystery shortlist. You will know how each candidate was found, what they were asked, and how they answered.
Not just the job title — the stack, the seniority, the team they will join, and what would actually make someone fail in the seat.
We find candidates and screen them ourselves, so you are not reading fifty CVs to find three worth a conversation.
A structured technical round on CypherMeet, with an optional live coding exercise and, if you need it, environment integrity checks.
Shortlist delivered with each candidate's evaluation report attached. You decide from what they did, not from our opinion of them.
We find, screen and verify candidates for technical and business roles, and deliver a shortlist with the interview evidence attached. Permanent placement — our fee comes from the client, never the candidate.

The team that builds and runs GoodShift's own products — mobile, backend and infrastructure. Architecture reviews, engineering help, and getting a product from specification to something that actually ships.
See how we engage
Shift Consulting launched in 2026. We are not going to show you a wall of client logos we have not earned, or numbers we made up. What we can offer is the founders' direct attention on your search, a screening process no established agency in this market runs, and terms that reflect the fact that we are proving ourselves.
We are backed by a registered company with products live on the App Store, Google Play and the desktop — so the engineering judgement behind the screening is not borrowed.
Send us the brief. If we are not the right people for it, we will tell you that instead of taking the search.
