summary

Company doubles frontend headcount, so a template called Project Cedar uses GitLab CI/CD and a bot account to auto-create per-candidate repos and a test merge request with a failing pipeline candidates must fix. Interviewers use a standardized Google Sheets rubric and a dashboard to track scores, measuring real skills: Git usage, CI familiarity, testing and problem solving. The repo and dashboard are public and the system runs live in interviews.
