dwij i’m hiring
faq

questions, answered plainly.

for founders hiring engineers, and for engineers who want to be found for their work. anything missing, ask me directly.

for founders

what is dwij?

dwij is an ai agent that hires engineers for startups. it runs the whole process itself: it reads the work behind a cv, asks engineers about what they have actually built, and brings you the people who have done it, each with an evidence card that shows the source behind every mark. dwij is built by Codeclowns Technologies LLP, a DPIIT recognised startup in Gurugram.

is there a recruiter behind dwij?

no. dwij is an ai agent that does the whole job itself, from the first message to the shortlist. a person at dwij only steps in when something might be unfair to a candidate, and the hiring decision is always yours.

how is dwij different from a recruiter or a job board?

a job board gives you every cv that says it fits. a recruiter gives you a shortlist and an opinion. dwij gives you evidence: for every requirement, whether the person understands it and whether they have done it, with a quote, a stage of a situation or a line of their code behind each mark. you still decide who to hire.

is dwij live?

dwij is in pilot with a small group of startups. some parts described on this site, like the ai fluency task, come later, and you’ll know exactly which parts are ready before you start.

how much does dwij cost?

you pay a fee only when you hire someone dwij brought you. there is no retainer, subscription or charge per interview. startups in the pilot get a founding rate, locked for the first year, in return for measuring with the dwij team how many shortlisted candidates become offers.

how many candidates will i see?

as many as genuinely fit the role, and no more. each comes with an evidence card against your requirements, an interview guide built from their gaps, and their cv exactly as written. i would rather bring you fewer people with proof than many without it, so your interview hours go to the ones worth meeting.

which roles does dwij hire for?

engineering roles at startups in india: full-stack, backend and frontend, from final-year students joining after graduation to engineers with a few years of experience. if your role is outside this, tell me and i will say honestly whether i can help.

do i have to write a job description?

no. you tell me what you are building in a chat, the way you would explain it to a new engineer. i turn it into the concepts the role needs and ask you which ones are deal-breakers. you can use the job post i write from it, or ignore it.

who decides who gets hired?

you do, or your hiring manager. dwij never rejects anyone: it sends a shortlist with evidence and an interview guide, never a verdict or a score. if something about a candidate looks unfair or suspicious, a person at dwij checks it, and talks to the candidate, before it reaches you.

for engineers

is dwij free for me?

yes, always. companies pay dwij when they hire. you never pay anything, at any point.

when does mapping open?

dwij is in pilot. right now you can join the first list by dropping your cv. mapping opens to that list first, and we will write to you when it does.

what happens when i map my skills?

a 20 to 30 minute conversation about your real work, in english, by voice or typing. you are asked about situations that unfold, and whether you have done things for real. you see your skill map before any company does.

do i need a github profile?

no. sharing code can add evidence, but having no public code is never held against you. most engineers’ work sits in their employer’s private repositories, and the conversation alone can show what you understand.

will a company see my profile without me knowing?

no. before your profile goes to any company, i message you with the company’s name. if you object, it does not go.

will i hear why a company said no?

yes. dwij never rejects anyone; only the company you interview with decides. after an interview i ask the company for its reason and pass it on to you. if a company has not answered, you can see that too, and how long it has been.

can i use ai during the mapping?

not in the conversation about your own work, which is meant to be you. the separate ai fluency task, when it launches, expects you to use an ai agent, and is optional.

what happens to my recordings?

they are used to build your skill map, give companies you are put forward to their questions, and record why decisions were made. they are kept for 12 months and then deleted. you can ask for everything to be deleted at any time by writing to support@dwij.io.
