A Near Perfect Assessment Platform
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Coderpad is the technical assessment platform that we use to hire new employees. The CoderPad assessments are given as part of the interview process. We use CodeSignal to assess the aptitude in programming skills from the CoderPad assessment score. As the score is generated on aspects such as the candidate's problem-solving ability and speed, the CoderPad assessment serves as a good measure to judge a candidate before that person is called for the next round of interviews.
Pros
- Option of proctored/unproctored assessment
- Uniform structure of assessment
- Variety of problem sets to choose from
Cons
- Code editor should be more responsive for auto suggestions
- Practice environment should be located in such a way that it should be found easily
- A transparent and publicly available pricing
Most Important Features
- Question Pool
- Data Structure and Algorithm based assessment
- Report Generation
Return on Investment
- 10 working hours saved weekly which used to be spent on interviews
- Approximately 3 employees worth of manpower is saved
- The benefit of allowing assessment in multiple languages allowed the interviewee to concentrate on evaluation on the basis of underlying concepts

We used CoderPad for hiring of some of the coders for our team. Initially hiring was a hectic process but with the help of CoderPad it became easy because of the automation in their hiring technology.
