Wish we could get a detailed report of the assessment so that we can get a deeper insight into the skills Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an easy way to create assessments for any candidate. It truly does save time and effort by allowing you to select from a list of pre-built questions or create your own. The questions are categorized by levels and there are even language specific questions. Coderbyte also gives you the ability to edit email templates to customize the content sent to candidates. Overall it's a very useful tool for anyone looking to hire developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would change for the time being is the welcome screen for candidates taking the exam, it could use more information like the amount of questions and the languages allowed. Also if there was a link to a video or something that explains to the candidates what to expect when they begin the assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a development platform where the candidate can write unit tests and see their code run with no mess. Everything is consistent between interviews, which reduces variability in the process. Most developers are familiar with coderbyte, so it's super seamless in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to set a breakpoint and debug/step-through the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The programming questions are in-depth. It would be best if you had a clear understanding of data structure and algorithms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can show the candidate what are all test cases failed. How much memory it took. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You get data like ideal and exact time complexity of the code submitted and plagiarism check and screen recording Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The portal has a learning curve of the features that it offered, but once familiar it's very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating the interview tests very easily. Entire user's screen is recorded. Gives %of plagiarism Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Engineers/Devops/Tester hiring questions are not good. Moreover, for these speific roles, just normal coding and submitting doesn't work. For eg: for data engineer, some kind of hands on assignment which can be compiled online will give much better value to employer, rather than just uploading the code in a zip format Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automation feature of qualifying employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not find it easy to create the challanges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I compared different code assessment tools for recruitment; it seems only Coderbyte's pricing makes sense to small businesses like mine. Most similar platforms force you to sign an annual contract that can easily cost more than $3000 - for a small company that only hires occasionally, this is not fair, whereas Coderbyte allows me to pay monthly. The platform provides good features too. What I like the best is the flexibility to create my own assessments for almost any programming language. The video recording to resume the candidate's solution process is excellent too. The interface is easy to use, even though my candidates didn't have much work experience, the process was smooth for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There seems to be a gap in the market for tools like this but targeting small companies. I cannot see any reason why tools like this cannot charge on a per-role basis. As a small business owner, I only hire once or twice a year, there's no point in keeping a subscription, but I do not mind paying a fair share for the good service I use.
