Litmus
Evals for humans
Litmus is an async coding assessment platform that turns a company's own repositories, tickets, and job descriptions into realistic feature-building tasks, giving hiring teams a read on how candidates work in their actual stack before synchronous interviews. It can also host and grade existing take-home problems.
Each submission runs in a live sandbox against a deterministic harness for correctness, while configurable LLM graders evaluate qualitative dimensions such as architecture and process, with judgments tagged to specific files and lines. Results compile into shareable reports. Litmus tracks file iteration, commit history, and AI prompts, and candidates record a short walkthrough of their decisions. Candidates sync automatically with Ashby, Greenhouse, and Lever, or teams can run the pipeline end to end on Litmus.
Litmus is aimed at engineering teams hiring at various stages, used either before synchronous interviews or in later rounds. Pricing is set through custom contracts based on hiring needs and volume.
