How we vet
How we find the top 1–2%
No shortcuts and no theatre. Five honest stages stand between an application and a live profile, and here’s exactly what they are.
- 01
Apply
One form for your track. About 15 minutes. We ask for real signal, what you’ve built, shipped or sold, not a wall of buzzwords.
- 02
Review
A human reads every application within 48 hours. No black hole, no auto-reject bot. You hear back either way.
- 03
The brief
A short piece of real work, 60 to 90 minutes, with no puzzles or whiteboard tricks. Engineers skip this: we review your portfolio and repos instead.
- 04
The deep dive
A conversation about your work with someone who understands it. Not an interrogation, but a real discussion of how you think and what you’ve done.
- 05
The fit call
A final chat with the Truelance team: mutual fit, expectations, and what happens next. We only match you to roles worth your time.
- 06

If you're hiring…
Every profile you see has cleared all five stages. That means your shortlist is small, serious, and worth your time, and a named account manager can tell you exactly why each person made it through.
