What do you like best about Coderbyte for Employers?

1. Coderbyte is having a very good UI to create and manage the tests

2. The assessment of students is so easy that we can easily segregate and sort the students.

3. Rating of the coding round questions and providing the complexity of the solutions is really appreciable feature.

4. Identifying the copiers is very easy as we are getting information about each and every movement of the student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coderbyte for Employers?

1. Need to have bulk import functionality in the custom questions tests option.

2. Sometimes found no information about the student's movements

3. The ultimate solutions for coding round questions need to be shared with the recruiter. this will help the recruiter to cross verify the coding round solution of students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Coderbyte for Employers?

The fact that Coderbyte is an all-in-one solution with code screening, interviews, and projects for just $199/month is an unbelievable deal. Not only that, but the platform has some killer features that can’t be found elsewhere, like candidate compensation, Google search within the code editor, and subscription plans with unlimited candidates.

As an early-stage venture-backed business, it’s great to be able to avoid having to pay up for bloated enterprise software alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coderbyte for Employers?

It would be great if Coderbyte had SSO and an open API, but I do appreciate how simple they’ve kept the product despite all the other functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Coderbyte for Employers?

I think the only good thing here is that it's cheaper compare to other assessment tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coderbyte for Employers?

There are so many things to mention, and I would not recommend this tool to anyone!

1. It is not recognized as a valid assessment tool in most ATS including Smartrecruiter

2.There is a limit on the number of applicants you can invite per assessment, I think 50 applicants is a low number if you are hiring for Developers

3. If you ever plan on having an add- ons feature, please be prepared for unlimited email, chat, follow up- only to remind the team that the upgrade is still not working.

4. we cancel our subscription last July 23 and we are expecting that the service will be up until the next billing cycle, BUT NO. The cancellation of your subscription will be immediate.

We have tried a lot of software assessment tools and by far this is the most dissapointing.

If you can adjust your budget for 50-100 USD, better to spend it on Hackerank or test Gorrila, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nis Frome of Coderbyte for Employers

Thank you for your detailed review and feedback.

1. Per our website, we integrate with ATS platforms via Zapier (https://zapier.com/apps/coderbyte/integrations). That includes top tools like Workable and Greenhouse.

2. Yes, there is a limit to ensure that our servers don't crash. 99% of our customers never come close to the limit, but 1% who are running professional bootcamps and certification programs otherwise would invite 10,000+ candidates simultaneously which no platform in the market would allow. You successfully assessed 1,000+ candidates over four months.

3. We apologize for the bug and fixed it within 48 hours.

4. That's our bad, and generally doesn't happen. If you choose to return to Coderbyte, your first month will be free.

What do you like best about Coderbyte for Employers?

Code challenges database is extensive and good enough for our usage. Their online IDE runs smoothly in any coding language and compiles as expected, as well as alerts when the developer pastes code.

The overall status of each candidate is also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coderbyte for Employers?

Tests inputs on the code database are usually minimal. Video call from the app didn't work for us (we used Zoom and developer shared screen for live coding). Could have better pricing for smaller companies, the unlimited per month seems good for more prominent companies, but not so good for 1-10 people companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
