Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right vibe coder
Give a time-boxed challenge: "Build a working app for [specific use case] in 4 hours." Speed-to-functional-product is the core skill.
Check their product sense, not just coding output. The best vibe coders ask great questions about the problem before touching any tools.
Test their debugging ability when AI gets stuck. Ask them to fix a broken application — can they diagnose and resolve issues, or are they lost without AI suggestions?
Look for a portfolio of shipped products, not just code repositories. Vibe coders are measured by working software, not code quality metrics.

Feedback from founders who hired through us
Keto Software

What we've delivered:
"Working with Herizon has been an absolute turning point for our hiring. They have already helped us successfully bring on board a Growth Marketing Manager and a RevOps Manager, and are now supporting us in finding the right AEs and a Partnership Development Manager. What sets Herizon apart is not only their deep understanding of every role in a revenue organization, but also their ability to truly grasp what we are looking for as if they were part of our own team. They don't just present candidates — they challenge our thinking, help us sort through priorities, and go deep with candidates to ensure we're meeting the right people. I couldn't recommend Herizon highly enough for any company looking to build out their revenue teams with the right people."
