Codility

On the candidate side, Codility offers advantages to those with strong technical skills, regardless of background. Assessment results are anonymized and personal identifiable information (PII) is removed. Decisions are made based purely on skill, and unconscious bias is removed from the process.

Overview of Features

Codility’s platform consists of three different offerings: CodeCheck, CodeLive, and CodeChallenge to be used at different points of the recruiting process. CodeCheck is the first step of the hiring process, where coding skills are assessed. Applicants for a technical role will receive an invitation to an assessment. Upon completion, the assessment is automatically scored and the recruiter will see a detailed report and can decide whether or not the candidate should move forward in the process. CodeCheck flags suspicious activity and checks for plagiarism to ensure accurate results. CodeCheck allows for custom coding exercises in this step, but also has a library of tools that can be utilized for live interviewxs.

In CodeLive, a member of the engineering team can do a live coding interview with the candidate. Notable is that there is no download or setup required to participate in the call. Through CodeLive’s interface, the applicant and interviewer can write code together in real-time. CodeLive allows for custom coding exercises in this step, but also has a library of tools that can be utilized for live interviews.

CodeChallenge is a recruitment tool where companies can run virtual coding challenges as part of their hiring campaigns. Challenges can be customized based on company goals and run from 2 hours to 2 weeks. Featuring a virtual leaderboard and real-time reports of results, companies can quickly follow up with challenge participants who may be good candidates for available roles. While not a part of the hiring process, this feature can help feed candidates into the pipeline.
