We're building a better way to hire.

The problem we saw

Engineering hiring is famously broken on both sides. Teams spend weeks sifting through hundreds of resumes, running interview loops that test things no one actually does at work, and still end up mis-hiring. Engineers, meanwhile, submit applications into black holes, get ghosted after take-homes, and field a steady stream of poorly-targeted recruiter spam.

We thought the deeper issue was simpler than the industry treats it: there is no trustworthy layer between companies and candidates. Every LinkedIn message, every job board, every recruiter pitch is essentially noise, because no one has bothered to actually evaluate anyone before connecting them.

What we built

Engagetal is the trust layer. We vet developers carefully once (across code quality, system design, communication, and async habits) and keep their profiles current. When a company has a hiring need, our matching engine surfaces the four engineers most likely to succeed in that role. The company interviews only people we've already said "yes" to. The engineer only hears about roles they're genuinely suited for.

The result is the thing both sides have been asking for: faster hiring, better matches, fewer wasted calls.

The Fellowship

Not every great engineer starts out senior, and the market does a poor job of getting them there. So we run one programme, properly, rather than a catalogue of short courses.

The Engagetal Fellowship is a six-month, full-time intensive that takes developers with a real foundation and turns them into engineers we would put in front of any client. Six modules, one-to-one mentorship from working senior engineers, weekly design reviews, and a final month spent entirely on placement.

You can pay the ₹2,00,000 fee upfront, or sign an Income Share Agreement and pay nothing until you are earning above ₹10 LPA, capped at ₹4,00,000 and hard-stopped at 24 months. We built the ISA because we would rather carry the risk of a Fellow's outcome than ask them to.

Two cohorts have run so far and the third opens in October 2026. We are deliberately not publishing outcome statistics yet: with this few Fellows, any percentage we quoted would be a number dressed up as evidence. When we have enough cohorts for the figures to mean something, we will publish them in full, including the ones that look bad.

Who we are

Engagetal Solutions (OPC) Private Limited is based in Saket, New Delhi, and serves engineering teams and engineers worldwide. We're a small team of engineers, designers, and educators who have hired, been hired, and trained people at companies large and small, and who think all three things can be dramatically better.

If any of this resonates (as a hiring team, an engineer, a student, or someone who wants to work with us) we'd love to hear from you. Write to hello@engagetal.com.

Our bet is simple. If you make the hiring layer genuinely trustworthy, everyone downstream of it wins.
