Iber exists because of a gap that everyone in Indian tech hiring can see and almost nobody acts on.
There are people who can build. They learned from YouTube, from documentation, from a bootcamp, from breaking things at 2am. They have repositories full of work that runs. And they cannot get past a form that asks for a CGPA and a degree from a college with the right name on it.
Meanwhile companies read hundreds of resumes that are, at best, a claim. The first technical round exists almost entirely to find out whether the claim is true. That is an expensive way to discover something the candidate's GitHub already answers.
What we changed
We made the application be the work.
You post a demo of something you built, linked to a repository we verify is genuinely yours. You sit a spoken interview where the questions come from your own projects — so being able to explain your decisions matters more than having rehearsed the standard answers. You end up with a signed credential a company can check.
There is no resume upload step on Iber for builders. That is not an oversight.
What we are careful about
Assessing people with software is easy to do badly. Two rules we hold to:
Signals are evidence, never verdicts. The proctoring during an interview writes down what it saw and shows it to the company. It does not eliminate anyone. We learned this the hard way — an early version of our proctoring flagged a candidate who was looking directly at his screen, and ended his interview. We rebuilt it so that essentially nothing can end a take, and the things that can are never scored against the candidate.
A coarse measurement should say so. When a signal is approximate — an in-browser face match, a head-pose estimate — we label it that way to the company rather than presenting a number as a fact.
Where we are
Early. We ran our first in-person beta day in Bengaluru in September 2026 with a small group of builders, and we are onboarding companies in waves.
Builders are free on Iber and will stay free.
