Summary

Synctera, a new startup connecting FinTech companies to community banks, uses Replit to run a technical interview process that effectively uncovers top engineers with diverse backgrounds. The company's CTO, Kris Hansen, leverages Replit's features such as online IDEs, multiplayer coding, and hosting for web development to evaluate candidates' problem-solving skills, collaboration style, adaptability, and curiosity. Synctera prefers to give challenges that let candidates solve real problems, allowing them to find "incredible nontraditional candidates." The company uses Replit Teams Pro for extra privacy and collaboration benefits, and Kris Hansen praises Replit as a valuable tool in building his world-class engineering team.
