Who is Karat?

Interviewing is the gateway to building careers and teams. Yet, it's no one's job to do it with fairness and professionalism -- so we made it our job.

Karat conducts first-round technical interviews on behalf of companies like Indeed, Intuit, Pinterest, and Citrix. Our network of experienced Interview Engineers have conducted tens of thousands of technical interviews with software engineering candidates. Clients increase capacity to interview and unlock engineering productivity, all while providing exceptional candidate experiences.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the world's interviewer. We conduct highly predictive interviews for our clients with rigor, humanity and fairness. Karat helps companies hire the engineers they need to create the future and helps ensure that engineers are in jobs that maximize their strengths.

Interviewer Management Team

The interview engineer management team is responsible for interview engineer experience and management from the moment an interview engineer applies to work at Karat to becoming a senior mentor. We oversee hiring, onboarding and growth, as well as managing overall Karat relationship. We are responsible for delivering enough interview engineer capacity and capabilities to meet client needs. We care deeply about meeting metrics, but we don't sacrifice culture - not on our own team, nor among the interview engineer community at large. We strive to be leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion, and treat it as a vital business need.

Our team is located across the United States, and meets regularly each week using remote technology including online chat and video software. Our interview engineers are located internationally, with a wide variety of work interests and life experiences. We are united by a mission to deliver exceedingly positive candidate experiences and fair interview results.

Statement of Non-Discrimination:
In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on: race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital/domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability status, or veteran status. Above and beyond discrimination and harassment based on “protected categories,” we also strive to prevent other subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (i.e., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our office. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at Karat.

We value a diverse workforce: people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
