AssertHired

My own product, built and run solo. Accounts, payments, scoring, and a dashboard behind it all

The AssertHired homepage, showing a dark interface with a terminal-style panel scoring a practice interview.

Where it started

Interview practice for software testers

This one is mine. It exists because the practice tool I wanted did not, and because I wanted to know if I could run the whole thing solo

What I built

How it came together

People sign up, pay, run a practice interview and get scored. Every one of those is where a normal site stops and something harder starts. Accounts survive a forgotten password, payments survive a declined card

It is here because it is the honest evidence for the full build. The dashboard I offer clients is a smaller version of one I already run

What is on it

  • Accounts and password reset
  • Payments and receipts
  • Automated interview scoring
  • Public verification page for results
  • Admin dashboard
  • The whole thing, solo

One decision

Why this one is dark and your site will not be

It is a tool for software testers, used with a terminal open beside it. Dark fits that room. Your site is opened in daylight by someone deciding whether to trust you

What happens after you send it

  1. It lands in my inbox, not an assistant and not a shared account
  2. You get a real reply within one business day, even if the answer is no
  3. If it looks like a fit, we book a thirty minute call. No slide deck
