FAQs

What is the difference between assessments and interviews?

There is no universally accepted terminology within the industry for describing candidate evaluations. Below is how Coderbyte and other software vendors define assessments, interviews, and other types of evaluations:

Assessments
Challenge(s) and question(s) that a candidate answers asynchronously (i.e. independently), recorded within an online environment and/or unrecorded in their own environment and uploaded afterward, timed or untimed with or without a deadline, with automated and/or manual grading.

Read our best practices for assessments →

On Coderbyte, assessments can include any of the following custom questions or those selected from our library:
On other tools, assessments are known alternatively as:
  • HackerRank: Screening
  • Codility: CodeCheck Test
  • CodeSignal: Tech Screen
  • Coderpad: Take-home project (or Assessments if you are using CodinGame)
  • TestGorilla: Screening test

Interviews
Challenge(s), question(s), and interactive environments that a candidate answers collaboratively (i.e. with interviewers), using video/audio within an online environment, untimed, with a scorecard manually completed by interviewers afterward.

How does Coderbyte prevent cheating? What if candidates find solutions available online?

Cheating can be a frustrating problem when trying to determine which candidates are unqualified. Whereas many of our competitors try to solve cheating by creating ruthless and invasive experiences that candidates hate and publicly complain about, we've innovated in a variety of unique and more effective ways:

Cheating prevention
  • We are constantly added, refreshing, and changing our library of challenges and questions.
  • Require 100% unique solutions with Coderbyte's cheat-proof technology. Cheat-proofing adds a unique modification to every challenge to ensure that the candidate must write a 100% unique solution that cannot be found online.
  • Hide challenge titles so candidates can’t easily Google Search solutions
  • Require video responses with webcam and audio.
Cheating detection
