The engagement
A small engagement, reported at the size it was.
The pre-bootcamp assignment sent to 80 applicants in spring 2022 produced more strong candidates than SISAL needed. dev.al took the C# track. We evaluated 16 candidates from the same pool, scored them on 5 criteria and sent a shortlist on 4 June 2022. The client made its own choice from that list.
15 of the 16 candidates evaluated for dev.al came from the 33 best rated in the shared pool, and none of them was among the 15 SISAL employed after the course. Each was scored on time taken, exam, attempts, activities and challenges, for totals between 23.6 and 29.8 and an exam mean of 9.4 out of 10.
The shortlist sent to the client and the engagements that followed each involved fewer than 10 people. Under our disclosure rule those figures are withheld rather than rounded. This page reports what can be reported and stops there.
The shared pool
From 80 applicants to a client shortlist.
The first three steps are the same as in the SISAL selection. The last step is the dev.al evaluation. The steps after it involve fewer than 10 people and are not shown on the chart.

The outcome
What it showed.
One preselection round served two clients, and no candidate was put forward to both. 9 weeks separated the first assignment on 31 March from the shortlist on 4 June 2022.
What the client did with the list is the client’s record, not ours. We supplied the evaluated candidates and the scores behind them.
A scored shortlist, not a stack of CVs.
Within a few weeks, the same pool of candidates served a second client, and the score on each criterion was kept for the client’s decision. This does not mean that a similar pool exists today.
