I did the math recently, and honestly, it was depressing.
If you are a Tech Lead, you know the struggle: your calendar looks like a game of Tetris where you are losing. Instead of building apps, I found myself constantly reviewing them.
The workflow is a killer. You stop your actual work, pull a repo, and pray that running the candidate’s code doesn’t hijack your local environment (a genuine security risk these days).
My colleagues and I tried using LLM prompts to speed things up, but that only solved the reading part, not the process. HR was still chasing us on Slack, the Tech team was swamped, and candidates were left in the dark.
I realized we didn’t just need a code analyzer; we needed a tool to bridge the gap between the Recruiter, the Candidate, and the Technical Evaluator.
Enter TestReviewer.ai
Today, I am launching TestReviewer.ai in Early Access.
The goal is simple: HR shouldn’t waste time chasing feedback, and Tech shouldn’t waste time on setup and basic code review.
I built a flow that respects everyone’s time.
Step 1: The Setup - The recruiter creates a test (e.g., “Senior Android Developer”), creates a candidate profile, and sends the test link. No friction.
Step 2: The Submission - The candidate opens the link, completes the task, and uploads a Zip file or a Git link.
But here is the “magical” part: We also allow candidates to upload a video walkthrough. If you’ve ever reviewed a UI/Frontend test, you know that code doesn’t tell the whole story. Seeing the dev explain their choices in a video? That’s a game changer.
Step 3: The Analysis - Before a human ever looks at the code, our tool analyzes the project for security concerns, anti-cheat, and project quality.
Step 4: The Feedback - The tech team receives a detailed report. They don’t need to run the code locally to know if it’s secure or functional. They get a deep analysis, add their final feedback, and the recruiter gets the green light to hire (or pass).
Why different?
The project is in the early stages, but the vision is to save you money and time immediately.
Most ATS platforms charge you a fortune in monthly subscriptions for seats you don’t use. I hate that model.
TestReviewer.ai is pay-per-completed-review. You don’t pay for idle seats; you only pay when you are actually interviewing.
I need your eyes on this
I’m launching this today, slightly under the radar, because I want honest feedback.
If you are a Recruiter tired of bottlenecks, or a Dev tired of reviewing messy code, give it a spin.
