Typify.dev
Validated through real engineering challenges, not resume keywords. Haskell-trained. Battle-tested. Ready to build.
We are engineers who engineered a new recruitment process, through rigorous coding challenges and in-person analysis of how engineers actually think.
Engineers who understand programming language theory, not just syntax
6 real projects from CLI tool to GHC compiler contribution. You're hiring builders, not memorizers.
They present their work and defend every decision. Live. No rehearsed answers survive this.
88 FP challenges + AI interviews across 20+ dimensions. We test what generic platforms can't.
We measure how they elevate the people around them. The best engineers make entire teams better.
A global graph of exactly what they know. When you tell us what you need, we don't guess.
We know them personally — not just their resume. Months of relationship, not a 30-minute screen.
Why we can make this claim
Most companies run a 45-minute whiteboard session and call it vetting. We run a months-long gauntlet that tests what actually matters: can they build real software, defend their decisions, mentor others, and grow?
Step 1 of 6
Six complete Haskell projects — from CLI tool to GHC compiler contribution. Architecture decisions, error handling, state management, clean API design. When they finish, they've already shipped more real software than most interview processes will ever test.

Step 2 of 6
Every project ends with a live defense — our engineering team interrogates every decision. No rehearsed answers survive this. You get engineers who can reason under pressure and explain their thinking clearly.

Step 3 of 6
Purpose-built for functional programmers — not a generic platform with Haskell bolted on. We test higher-order functions, monadic composition, and type-level thinking that mainstream platforms can't touch. AI-driven interviews then assess communication and problem decomposition across 20+ dimensions.

Step 4 of 6
An engineer who solves their own problems is good. One who makes the whole team better is exceptional. We track how they mentor, teach, and contribute to shared learning — the qualities that separate a hire from a force multiplier.

Step 5 of 6
Our Haskell skill tree maps every FP concept a developer has mastered, is developing, or hasn't touched yet. When you tell us what you need, we don't guess. We match on verified, mapped competencies.

Step 6 of 6
We've worked with every developer for months — sometimes years. We know their character, their work ethic, how they handle setbacks. When we recommend someone, it's a personal character reference. No recruiter who met someone last Tuesday can say that.
Months-long relationships

"The entire process—from search to interview to onboarding—was seamless and incredibly efficient. They really understood what we were looking for and made everything easy on our end."

Most companies hire for trendy tools, but the real edge comes from engineers trained to think clearly and design for the long term. Haskell developers bring rigor, purity, and abstraction that elevate any team—whether or not you use Haskell.
You don’t have a talent shortage, you have a talent recognition problem. Great engineers are applying, but broken hiring processes that overvalue resumes, buzzwords, and whiteboard puzzles systematically filter them out while the best candidates choose companies with fairer, skills-based evaluations.
Codebases don’t rot because they grow—they rot because OOP and imperative habits reward patches over principles. Haskell enforces a declarative mindset that stops bloat at the root, keeping systems elegant and scalable as they evolve.
