Triplebyte operates a platform that matches engineers with employers by using coding quizzes and machine learning to determine skill level. The company aims to create a new credential that helps companies find engineers from any background. Its customer roster includes Adobe, Apple, American Express, Blackrock, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Instacart, Reddit, Robinhood, Truecar, Uber, and Philz Coffee. Triplebyte has over 500 clients that have hired more than 1,000 engineers through the platform. Over the past year the company’s revenue grew threefold to over $1 million monthly and headcount doubled from 20 to 40. Co-founders include CEO Harj Taggar, Ammon Bartram, and CTO Guillaume Luccisano, and the company plans to expand beyond the Bay Area into Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Boston later this year. Triplebyte is a three-year-old, 25-person San Francisco-based hiring platform that says it makes recruiting and technical screening more efficient. Its core product is a “background blind” process built around an adaptive multiple-choice automated assessment test and machine learning applied to assessment and human technical reviews. Triplebyte requires companies to fast-track Triplebyte candidates, and the company reports a 40 percent on-site-to-hire placement rate versus an industry standard of 20 percent. Clients that have tried the platform include Apple, Atlassian, Opendoor and Groupon, and its customers are primarily Bay Area-based tech companies. The company’s longer-term vision is to become a de facto hiring platform for non-tech companies hiring technical talent for the first time. Financially, Triplebyte previously raised $4.5 million in seed funding and has just closed a $10 million Series A. Triplebyte is a technical recruiting platform co-founded by former YC partner Harj Taggar, Ammon Bartram and Guillaume Luccisano. It uses a multi-step hiring process that begins with blind screening and a coding test, moves to phone interviews, and — for candidates who pass — includes flying them to the West Coast for in-person interview gauntlets with YC companies. The company says it has mapped the attributes that YC companies favor and uses those signals to tune its matching and screening filters. Taggar said Triplebyte has refined the interviewing process and now wants to scale it. Financially, the company reports being profitable and placing enough people to be profitable per month; Taggar said they did not need the money for survival.
