Frequently Asked Questions

From screening to final offer, we've got you covered.

Everything you might want to know about how Mango Hire works. Not seeing your question? Reach out at jon@mango.nyc.

You can, but every hour your engineers spend interviewing is an hour they aren't shipping. At any real hiring volume, screening eats entire sprints, and inconsistent interviewers make the results hard to trust.

Mango Hire runs the whole funnel for you, on interview software we built ourselves: we design the interviews, run them around the clock, grade every candidate, and flag cheaters. You only talk to people worth your time.

Your process is designed by Jon and Mervin, our NYC-based founders, and run by senior hiring talent we've handpicked around the world.

Every interview runs on our platform against your rubric and seniority bar, so every candidate is held to the same standard no matter who runs the session or when.

No. Recruiters send you resumes and charge a percentage of every hire. We actually evaluate candidates: real technical interviews, graded scorecards, and anti-cheat monitoring, all for one flat monthly fee.

You keep the final decision. We just make sure everyone who reaches you has already proven they can do the work.

Interviews run on our own platform, which monitors every session for AI assistance, plagiarism, and outside help. Anything suspicious is flagged in the candidate's report along with the evidence, so you can judge it for yourself.

Tell us the role and we'll have your interviews designed and running within days.

From there, candidates are interviewed within 24 hours of applying and graded scorecards land in your inbox the same day, so your pipeline never sits idle.

Every session on our platform produces a graded report covering strengths, gaps, and overall performance, with a clear hire or pass signal and any anti-cheat findings. Decisions on evidence, not gut feel.

Cancel anytime. There are no long-term contracts, and we offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If we're not making your hiring faster and better, you shouldn't be paying us.

You've got open roles. Let's fill them.
