We are really happy with the tool, it is absolutely user-friendly, customizable and effective. The account manager and the support team are very responsive and helpful.

They helped us reduce the candidate droput rate by 40% during the technical screening. They also helped us save hours of time both for the recruitment and tech teams.

Although they have great predefined tests, we prefer our own ones which are a bit trickier to set up and automate the correction. But anyways, it is great the we can customize it and it still saves a lot of time even if there are some parts of the solutions that we have to check manually.

My overall experience has been very good with the platform. It has helped me to reduce the recruiting time by at least 50%.

I like the fact that you can custom create assessment tasks and can find the legitimacy of the candidate since it lets you see the recorded session when the candidate takes the assessment. It is very user friendly.

I would like to see the candidates IP location within the downloaded report. Secondly, I would like to see DevSkiller cover some more skills particularly on the telecom side.

Great database of tests, the plagiarism detection helps a lot and the possibility to create custom tests.

For big tests (>3h), I had some issues with the platform not loading the test, but the Customer Support was excellent and fast solving that issue.

We needed to find a developer that suited our team, both in terms of personality and in terms of coding abilities. Tests are never a perfect way to assess a candidate alone, but they should be used in conjunction with other information (as some people just perform badly in tests). I am really happy with the information that Devskiller is surfacing on the candidates that we are getting in, it is surprising how different seniorities of developers perform (or don't perform). I assessed a few options before choosing the tool, this one seemed to be the best option and has certainly been good for us. Excellent customer service and very clear results reporting.

The depth at which you could assess candidates. For example, you can assess them on a range of code libraries - my focus was on Vue.js. The answers are not findable in Google and the company have internal tools to ensure this, so developers won't be able to find the answers on Stack Overflow by searching them. The questions are good, the multiple choice questions are challenging enough to prevent people from simply guessing (or the old cliche of choosing 'c'), particularly the questions that require you to choose multiple options (one or many answers to a question). The programming exercises are really the creme de la creme though, I was actually really surprised at the differences between candidates at different seniorities. These are not questions you can find in Google, these are live programming exercises which have a number of tests that need to be passed. You can view the approach, you can check their abilities to use GIT, you can use cheating-prevention mechanisms.

The pricing structure is a little bit restrictive and it would be great if it was more modular. That said, I moaned about this to their customer services team and they were very helpful in helping us find a fit. The interface is a little cumbersome at times when trying to build tests.

As soon as we got devSkiller in our hiring process, we saw a direct improvement of our developer and code quality in our project. It helped us better target our candidates and skills we needed and gain a huge among of time in the hiring process.

The flexibility of the type of test, the in-browser developer experience, the number of pre-defined test that gets updated all the time makes devSkiller the best way for us to best assess and improve candidate in our projects.

The candidature management is hard when dealing with a large among of candidates. note taking, grouping could be a nice add-on.

No complaints, it has been a positive experience. I will try and take advantage of more of the features, there are a lot!

Setting up new tests is easy, with so many preconfigured selections (by language) - which can then be tailored as appropriate. The tests are less about random syntax questions, and more about fixing broken code or doing pair programming.

Sometimes candidates struggle to operate the coding challenge console - or they try and do it external to the platform, then upload. But I don't see that as a DevSkiller, more the nature of the beast. In a few cases I have let the candidate retake the test if they give a plausible explanation for why it didn't work.

DevSkiller helps make tech recruiting easier, faster, and smoother because it provides many different tests for various programming languages, libraries and technologies, with different difficulty levels. The tests include real programming projects and not only questions which I think is very valuable. The rating of the tests is automatic and takes into consideration not only implemented functionality but also coding style, following best practices etc. It is also very easy to use.

I have found no real drawbacks to DevSkiller. What might further improve the product would be to keep building the test library with options to test even more libs/languages.

ability to test developer candidates. as we hire remotely, I cant imagine hiring someone without running them through these tests prior.

There are many testing sites out there but Devskiller has so many different tests to choose from, that it was a no-brainer. As we were looking for someone with strong time and dates skills, their "advanced" PHP test was almost like creating a custom made test for my needs (I believe they even offer custom made tests, if your budget allows) Super user friendly site and they offer a limited free version also.

it was a bit pricey for us as were a lean startup but worth every penny! It sure beats hiring someone unqualified!

I have used other similar solutions like Codility, Qualified.io, and also trialed HackerRank. DevSkiller offers the best mix of powerful features for the price. Their customer support is always very responsive and knowledgeable and willing to work with you to tailor the product to your specific needs. I also really like that they also include code review and bug fix type tasks.

The user interface is a little complicated and could probably be made more intuitive. Library of tasks could be expanded to cover other (less popular) technologies.

The ui is simple and clear. It's all the base functionality you'd want. Since were not a big company, our needs are limited but TalentScore offer exactly what we needed.

Even if I understand it's foused on developper and technical assesment. I would have liked to have more built in questions focused around soft skills, architecture and good practices. Since were do not look to recruit experts in certain langage and do not value specific langage over global knowledge in OO devlopment, most of the question are of no use to us. Also, most of the question evaluating programming skills are way too long. Smaller, more focused question would have been better in my opinion. But still, you can build your own questions so you just need to have the skill inside the organisation to write the questions you want.

We've cut down the amount of in-person interviews we need to hold by 65+% by being able to realize what the level of experience the candidate demonstrates within code very similar to our own. When we do bring in a candidate, we have a good baseline idea of where their skillset it at, and can tailor the in-person interview to allow us to determine the candidate's rate-of-growth and dive deeper into what they know.

Out of the box, we're supplied with relevant questions and programming solutions we can customize a test with. It didn't take long at all for us to get a list of questions the team liked together in a test, and start testing candidates in our funnel. There's a large pool of format of questions- we don't need to format the coding questions into weird multiple choice questions where you select the correct code as other platforms have you do. Along the same vein, we can have the candidate complete coding projects that are similar to work our developers do each day: find and fix the existing bug(s), implement a new feature, or perform a code review (similar to Bitbucket or Github pull request code reviews). We ended up writing a few of our own questions, which wasn't difficult, that allowed us to test candidates how they'd perform against some of our own code. The code reviews especially have been great at determining the candidate's skill level based on the feedback they give. Being able to have the candidate download/upload code from Devskiller so they can modify it in their own IDE, or allowing them to grab the code from a temporary Github repository is a big plus.

Some bugs had come up, such as not being able to turn on/off an option in a test question. These were resolved quickly in a few hours after sending an email to the support email. The test isn't fully automated for some types of questions (as you would expect for code reviews), but there's also not a way to give automatic partial credit on multiple-choice questions. This requires us to go through the test questions individually to give partial credit (4 / 5 correct doesn't seem like a 0% to us), but the time isn't significant. Brackets seem to break the SQL questions, which is odd and hangs some candidates up.

The best customer support ! fast, and help in any issue I had. Easy of use - filter and monitoring candidates Easy of use - creating tests platform Automatic scoring for almost all test types Can view recording session Good analytics are provided about the candidate

not enough tests for non experienced candidates (like students) - maybe i did not find and the system support it in case a test is canceled then it is counted as a used test - in case of limited license

With Devskiller we’re able to evaluate candidate’s technical skills in a more efficient and faster way. It saves time not only from the recruitment process, but from the seniors developers that used to have to manually create and correct the tests before we started using Devskiller.

Devskiller has really contributed to improve the performance of our Recruitment Team. One of its advantage is the possibility to create custom tests to evaluate candidates in all sorts of levels and technologies, saving us time during the recruitment process. Another great benefit is the customer Support team, who are very fast and effective! Always solving our problems and quickly answering our questions and doubts.

When the same candidate answer more than one test, it doesn’t shows the results separately, only the average score, which can be a little confusing.

Honestly, Devskiller helped us hire our Senior Backend Engineer and also filter out many Frontend Developers. This is invaluable since hiring the wrong person in an early-stage startup can have the most catastrophic effects. The MVP will be buggy, the team frustrated, and the whole recruitment process will have to start all over for the specific position. I would like to commend their service culture, which is one of the best I have ever seen. We were offered a trial, with 14 candidates to test and no strings attached. On top of that, they have a reliable product that is intuitive and has many robust, pre-defined tests with various difficulty levels. Therefore, I highly recommend Devskiller to all entrepreneurs out there.

- Fantastic customer support - Wide range of tests - Good test combinations (theory + practice) - Good range of difficulty levels - Easy to set up - Easy to use

- Slow web editor (depending on the time of usage)

- Diverse suite of coding tests for software engineers - Ability to customize and create own tests - Ability to playback candidate's coding session - Each coding task has a difficulty rating and results show how candidates score based on difficulty - Intuitive and easy to use - Responsive customer support

Better pricing plans to support hiring spikes / lows

Using Dev Skiller was a lifesaver. I was lost for how I was going to choose a developer when I have no experience within coding however this help immensely. That being said, even if you have coding experience the tool is very valuable, if not more so because you will be able to dive in deeper to check the results and build an amazing test. This is a great tool to evaluate candidates and compare against each other.

Having no coding/develper experience I had no way to screen, test and compare my candidates to find a developer for my website. Dev Skiller was a lifesaver in allowing me to do all of these and easily shortlist my candidates and see where their strengths and weaknesses lie. The set up process was simple and intuitive and was up and running and testing people very quickly. The support from Dev Skiller is outstanding and the team are genuinly invested in helping try to find the right candidate.

Nothing. Maybe a few features (and that's any platform) that could be added but nothing negative about the system.

DevSkiller filled a gap in our technical assessment process.

The diverse library and different types of tests. DevSkiller has tests like test coverage, code quality, daabases queries, debugging and devops tasks. All these reflect the real qualifications needed in a software engineer other than problem solving assessment tools that test algorithms skills only.

DevSKiller can improve user experience and expand their test library.
