About the Customer
At DvSum, innovation doesn’t stop at the product. It extends to how teams are built.
When DvSum opened hiring for a Design role, the expectations were intentionally high. The role required more than strong portfolios or visual aesthetics. The team was looking for designers who could think analytically, adapt quickly, and operate with a GenAI-first mindset.
With over 150 applicants entering the funnel, a traditional, manual hiring approach would have meant weeks of shortlisting, subjective evaluations, and a higher risk of bias. DvSum wanted a more structured way to evaluate candidates early.
That’s when InterWiz was introduced into the hiring process.
The Challenge
With 150+ applicants for a single design role, it was impossible to evaluate analytical thinking and GenAI readiness consistently. Manual shortlisting was slow, subjective, and risked overlooking strong candidates.
Design hiring often becomes difficult when volume meets complexity.
Portfolios alone don’t reliably reflect analytical thinking. Manual shortlisting tends to favor experience over capability. Scenario-based evaluation is hard to run consistently at scale.
For this role, DvSum needed a way to assess analytical reasoning and GenAI readiness early in the funnel, before committing time to lengthy interviews and design tasks.
The Approach
DvSum structured the entire hiring funnel using InterWiz, turning it into a focused, multi-stage evaluation process.
The funnel looked like this:
What would typically take weeks of manual coordination stayed structured and predictable.

Why This Mattered
This wasn’t about speed alone.
It was about creating a hiring process that evaluates how candidates think, not just what appears on a résumé. Structure helped DvSum stay objective, even with a large applicant pool.
From 150+ applicants to one confident hire, the entire funnel remained clean, structured, and efficient.
This is what it looks like when automation supports modern design hiring—without getting in the way of human judgment.
