CodeInterview Review

Pair Coding Interview Sessions

CodeInterview allows you to launch pair programming interview sessions to painlessly and effectively discover and hire the right technical professionals for your company. The software gives you the opportunity to assess and understand developers and programmers’ technical, analytical, and communication skills by working and engaging with them as they solve real-world coding challenges and problems in real-time.

It provides all the tools and features you need so you can seamlessly plan, conduct, and handle pair programming interview sessions. For instance, you can prepare templates or boilerplates which can be reused in various pair programming interview sessions and don’t require major alterations. These boilerplates are code snippets and resources that you and candidates will utilize during coding assessments and interviews.

CodeInterview has an  easy-to-use, robust, and interactive development environment where you can remotely conduct pair programming sessions with candidates. You and your candidates can access this coding environment using any web browser, thereby eliminating the need to download and install an application.  Through live video or audio calling, you’ll be able to observe and evaluate candidates while they’re working on their coding tasks and assessments.

You can ask them to explain their underlying approaches, procedures, and reasons behind their outputs. You’ll share ideas and opinions with candidates, guide them to understand and apply effective solutions to coding problems, and assess how they interact and work with you.

Enhanced Candidate Experience

The technical interview software helps you deliver better hiring experience to candidates. Developers and programmers can demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and experiences with greater convenience, efficiency, and confidence. They’ll access and leverage the development frameworks, programming languages, and coding features they’re familiar with in one intuitive user interface.

Depending on your specific job qualifications and requirements, candidates can write, edit, compile, and run code in a wide range of programming languages. Thus, they can show how proficient they are in building, managing, and troubleshooting websites, applications, or systems that are written in JavaScript, C#, C/C++, PHP, Ruby, MySQL, Perl, Phython, .NET, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, and other programming languages.

They’ll quickly and accurately create and modify code using CodeInterview’s code editor. The code editor is equipped with advanced features like intelligent code completion and syntax highlighting. Thus, they can easily write code elements without typing their entire characters as well as emphasize and differentiate them through various colors, fonts, and styles based on syntax definitions and categories.

CodeInterview offers built-in compilers for different programming languages. As a result, your candidates can convert their code into the appropriate and required programming language and ensure that computers can read, interpret, and execute it.

Reliable & Secure Team Collaboration

CodeInterview gives you a seamless and safe way to collaborate with team members, recruiters, or other stakeholders on interviewing, screening, and hiring developers and programmers. Team members and interviewers can connect to and participate in pair programming sessions via email or link.

Additionally, you can integrate CodeInterview with your existing identity management service that supports SAML-based single sign-on access. That way, users have to be authenticated first before they can gain access to your sessions. You’ll also be able to record pair programming sessions with candidates as they happen in real-time. You can capture the interview responses, keyboard actions, and coding outputs of candidates.

Doing panel reviews and assessments after the sessions is a breeze too. You, along with your team members, can playback recordings of pair programming sessions with candidates. You can share your own interview notes with team members as well as use a digital whiteboard to improve evaluations and discussions on candidates’ coding performances and interview results.
