Why Traditional Tech Hiring Fails
Technical interviews can be memorized. Coding challenges can be practiced. But building scalable systems that serve millions of users? That requires real-world experience that can't be faked.
ExFaangConnect focuses on proven technical expertise.
We connect startups and companies with ex-FAANG engineers who've actually built distributed systems, led engineering teams, resolved production outages, and shipped products at scale at companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Microsoft, Stripe, Airbnb, and Uber.
No theoretical knowledge. No whiteboard tricks. Just experienced engineers who've solved real problems at scale — and can do it for your company.
How We Vet Candidates
At ExFaangConnect, we don't rely on generic interviews or coding tests that can be gamed or memorized. We vet candidates based on what truly matters: real experience, technical depth, and proven impact.
Every candidate who joins our network goes through a rigorous vetting process inspired by first principles thinking — the same approach used by top technical leaders.
Here's how we do it:
Deep dive into the hardest technical challenges
Candidates are asked to share the most difficult technical problem they've solved at scale — what made it hard, how they approached it, and what impact they delivered.
Layered problem breakdown
We probe for depth — understanding trade-offs, decisions made under constraints, and how solutions were designed from first principles rather than patterns alone.
Evidence of true ownership
We look for authentic builders — candidates who can explain the details because they drove the solution, not just contributed at the edges.
Outcome-focused vetting
Our process ensures that every candidate has scaled systems, delivered measurable results, and built products used by millions at companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Stripe, Microsoft, OpenAI, Uber, and more.
Why this matters:
Founders and recruiters who use ExFaangConnect get signal — not noise. Every candidate has been vetted for real-world impact, not just interview performance.
