Outship
Hire amazing engineers by seeing how they use AI
Outship is a technical screening platform for evaluating how engineering candidates work with AI coding agents. It provides a cloud workspace where candidates complete real tasks using agents such as Claude Code and Codex, recording every prompt, edit, command, and decision so hiring teams can assess how candidates decompose problems, guide the agent, and recover when things break.
Each candidate receives a real VM with VS Code, dependencies, and AI agents configured. Tasks can be created from scratch or imported from GitHub, including past bugs or real pull requests. Sessions are analyzed against a rubric, with observations grouped into categories such as Codebase Orientation, Architectural Research, Full-Stack Execution, Agent Communication, and Verification & Shipping. GPUs and specialized setups are available on request.
Outship is aimed at engineering teams conducting technical interviews and screening candidates. The platform offers a free plan and a demo, with no further packaging details stated on the page.
