About

Your candidates are already using AI to pass coding tests. What if that was the point? Vibe Arena drops candidates into a real coding environment with AI tools pre-installed. They solve challenges the same way they'd work on the job. You see how they think — not what they've memorized. We're not an ATS. We're not a talent marketplace. We do one thing: show you whether someone can use AI tools to build working software. Personal blog: https://loreley.one (read it!) Awarded the Emergent Ventures grant (2023) to further my work on LLMs.
