Coding assesment tool that candidates and managers love

We increased our assessment-taking rate in 40% with the tool, and it has also had a good impact on evaluating hard skills for engineers trying to enter the company.

PROS

It was very easy to set up, the pre-made tests are very good and they fit normal job tasks for developers. The code editor is good and results reports are very detailed

CONS

none by the moment, it fits the needs of my team

Useful tool for candidate prescreening

We use the tool for candidate prescreening - a 20-30 minute technical exercise before a candidate is invited for an onsite interview. We've had some success with the tool but are having some difficulty tuning the questions such that the score is a decent indicator of a candidate's success.

PROS

Preconfigured questions and test cases that allows users to use an online IDE to submit a coding sample. Relatively low price point to other tools evaluated.

CONS

Difficult to tune the prescreening questions to meet our needs - we're still working through a balance of finding questions that aren't a time burden on candidates but produce a decent amount of code to review for quality (not just accuracy + time as is auto graded).

Reason for choosing Coderbyte

Mainly features provided for the overall price

Good for small number of requirements

We are a Travel and Technology organization that supports start-up platforms. We understand the limitations and we give chances to them- sometimes too many chances. I would say this is one of those platforms that fail miserably in many aspects. We are hiring 12-17 Developers per month but this platform did not give justice to the cost. Moreover what really prompt us to give up is the support and the attitude of the [SENSITIVE CONTENT]in his responses in the email) during a few chances we reach out to them.

PROS

Easy to implement. No hassle on setting up. Does not require a lot of work if this is your first time using an assessment tool

CONS

If you are a company that uses ATS or any platform for recruitment - It's not for you. They cannot be integrated into any new/mostly used ATS If you are a company that spends time(wanted to invest) in Candidate Experience - It's not for you. Coderbyte features in this area are not as customizable for their pricing. If you are a company that loves good UI/UX - It's not for you. The Assessments have to be open 1 by 1 in a new tab, or else you will lose all the changes. If you are a company with a limited budget - It's not for you. All basic feature like downloading the list of candidates has to be purchased If you like a product that loves to receive support - DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU. You will be asked (or demanded) by the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to provide a reason why are you canceling and prove that your feedback is not true. You have to be ready on following up with them with whatever Add ons you purchased.

Meets most expectations

Creating technical assessments and evaluating candidates' scores is a lot less time consuming compared to taking technical interviews. This helps us filter out the candidates easily based upon their assessment score and the time within which they complete the assessment. After the candidates meet the threshold score, we take technical interviews. So a lot of our time was saved by Coderbyte!

PROS

Coderbyte is the perfect plaform for tech recruitment. It offers a wide variety of pre-built challenges and questions which focus on evaluating the logical skills of candidates. It also allows to create custom challenges or ask custom questions, be it objective or subjective. Plagiarism detection is the most useful feature as it helps us identify truly honest candidates. Support is quick, we faced a few data issue, but they were solved quickly after contacting the support team. Coderbyte also filters out candidates based upon their score and highlights them in the summary view which helps us focus on the important candidates. The video recording of candidates' screen gives us a crisp idea of how they are attempting to solve coding challenges, which is quite helpful in judging the candidates

CONS

Pricing, it seems a bit expensive for India. Would prefer to pay around Rs. 5000 per month, instead of the current Pro pricing ($199/month which approximates to Rs. 15,000) UI/UX could be improved, I feel it is a little complex for now. Their pre-built templates for challenges and questions could improve by focusing on more technologies like mobile development (Android, iOS, Flutter)

Reason for choosing Coderbyte

One feature which superseded all other alternatives: Unlimited assessments and candidate invites. All other alternatives have limited assesments and invites.
