Branchout students build production-style projects in small teams, review each other’s code and, when they choose to, lead a pod. If you hire for early-career roles, you can post them here and see that work directly.
The parts of the job tutorials skip.
Pods of up to six take a brief from plan to deployed project, splitting the work into pull requests the way product teams do.
Every change is reviewed by someone else in the pod before it merges, so students learn to give and take feedback on real code.
Some students choose to lead a pod: planning the work, unblocking others, and keeping a small team moving.
Not a certificate alone: the project their pod shipped, the pull requests they wrote and reviewed, and what they’d change next time.
Have a candidate’s code? Verify a certificate to see their project, its dates and what the mentor said.

We review each posting before students can see it.
Review who applies
You see the applications students send you. An optional AI-assisted ranking can suggest how well each application matches your description. It never rejects anyone automatically.
Branchout is an educational program first. These rules keep it that way.
Engineers on your team can volunteer a little time to answer questions and review student code.
Solved an interesting problem your team would be happy to share? Tell us. It could become a brief students learn from.
Create an account, request recruiter access, and post your first role once it’s approved.
