Started by engineers, not recruiters.

Drutiva’s founders are a backend-focused full-stack engineer with a background in system design and a data engineer. Between them they have built production systems in aerospace, fintech, supply chain and data platforms.

Hiring kept coming up in all of those jobs. We sat on interview panels, trained new engineers and mentored them once they joined, and saw the same problem again and again: candidates who looked strong on paper and struggled in a real design discussion, and recruiters who couldn’t tell the difference.

Drutiva is built on a simple bet: people who have been on the interviewing side of a technical round will send better shortlists than people who haven’t. That’s why we focus on two specialisations we know first-hand, full-stack and data engineering, and why every candidate is assessed by an engineer.
