What is Codility?

Codility is a technical assessment tool primarily used for initial screening and video interviews of candidates for technical positions. By using Codility, companies can confidently hire candidates that they know have the skills required for their roles and can reduce the time required for the hiring process. Codility’s built-in anti-plagiarism tools ensure that assessment results reflect the coding skills of the applicant.

Recruiters without a technical background can also benefit from Codility. Codility scores the assessments completed for the recruiter who can then offer interviews to qualified candidates without taking time from someone on the engineering team. This reduces the time required to screen candidates for technical roles, regardless of the technical skills or knowledge of the recruiter.

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.


Roles Codility Can Help Hire For

With assessments in over 40 coding languages, Codility can help hire for a number of technical roles, including:

  • Back-End Developer

  • Cloud Engineer

  • Data Scientist

  • DevOps Engineer

  • Front-End Developer

  • Full-Stack Engineer

  • Future Developers

  • Technical Intern

  • Mobile Developer

  • Security Engineer

  • Software Engineer

  • Software Testers / Quality Assurance

Codility can also be an asset for hiring interns, entry or junior-level positions, and recent graduates, since their initial assessments can be used in place of a resume screen for candidates with the necessary skills but limited experience.

We use Codility in the selection process for most of the open positions in the organization (at least in the Americas region). It's sometimes used as a screening tool (to filter candidates by skill level) or to complement the technical assessment. It really helps to have an idea of the candidate's technical level and make decisions based on that.
  • Easy to use
  • Good interface (for the ones that take the test)
  • Many options of tests to use or build
  • Clear and complete test report
  • Could describe the tests easier for layman to understand
  • Could update tasks more often to prevent copies
Codility is a great tool to use for candidates' technical assessments of our selection processes. It is easy for recruiters to use, friendly to the people that are tested, and easy to manage. The test report is great. As a recruiter with limited technical knowledge, I wish it could be easier for me to build a test by myself (understand the tasks easier - there could be a bigger description or training for us) without depending on the hiring managers who aren't always available. Also, most times the invitation e-mail to take the test ends up in the candidates' spam box.
  • Wide task library
  • Easy to manage candidates
  • Possibility to make asynchronous assessment
  • Being able to asses the technical skills of candidates in a hands-on way, with scores
  • Easy to manage, does not take much time form recruiters

Hiring top-notch tech talent is always a challenge. Codility helps us to filter the candidates and helps us in making a decision to hire the best talent available. We usually use Codility for screening the candidates before the interview, and also we use it for live coding. The set of questions for coding is great, the database of the question bank is great, and we love it.
  • Live coding
  • Technical screening
  • Coding challenge
  • Reports could be more detailed
Codility is very suitable where we need to hire in bulk for tech roles. The coding assignment is very good for software engineering and DevOps roles. There are no scenarios where I feel it is less appropriate to use Codility. Overall I find it useful and helpful in hiring tech talent.
  • Live coding
  • Whiteboarding
  • Coding assignment
  • Positive impact: helped in tech hiring
  • Overall quality has increased
The UI of Codility is very user-friendly. Reports of assessment are very detailed, but they can be more detailed. The database of Codility is very huge, but I still fill more questions that can be added.

It allows faster recruitment of developers, they can take tests remotely, and the experience is good. The solution offers various options, with automations, and easy evaluation of the exam, so that the recruiting manager is also happy. In a nutshell, both HR, hiring managers, candidates, and IT like it much. The ROI was fast and especially clear when interviewing candidates remotely during the pandemic.
  • Run Tech exams for remote candidates.
  • Allow Exam planning.
  • Let managers easily check the exams.
  • Make sure candidates can't cheat during the exam.
  • Integration with additional Talent Acquisition tools
  • More templates
Planning an Exam Scheduling and running the exam Taking the exam Assessing the exam results All done for remote candidates. While working remotely from home during the pandemic many managers found it harder to examine techie talents. Right after when the market started to boil and competition for talent rose, we all tried ways to make it easier for talents, so remote exams become more common and friendly. The ROI, while not always quantified, is in candidate experience, and hiring manager satisfaction as per recruiting talents.
  • Shorten the talent acquisition process.
  • Enhance the assessment process, candidate and employee experience.
  • Self service exams
  • Taking the exams faster
This was the best that integrated with our TA system (Greenhouse) and we got positive recommendations. At a time we considered other talent acquisition systems, such as Success Factors, the integration was insufficient. Other than that, the talent acquisition Director was bios, based on previous experience, so as IT, we didn't have much of discovery or selection to make.
