Technical hiring is expensive to get wrong
Technical roles are hard to fill, hard to assess, and costly when they miss. Pedigree-based screening overlooks strong builders and over-indexes on brand names, while interview loops burn your best people's time.

The talent signals that matter
Technical recruiting still over-weights brand names and years of experience. Godric is built on the 4-D Talent Model, assessing candidates across four dimensions that predict real performance — whether they build product, deploy to customers, or own systems.
Languages, systems design, architecture judgement, testing discipline, and domain depth.
How a candidate decomposes ambiguity, handles trade-offs, and collaborates across teams and customers.
Company stage, stack, scale of systems owned, and trajectory across technical roles.
Whether intrinsic motivation aligns with a ship-fast, ownership-driven technical culture.
