Assess how engineers build, not how they memorize

Run interviews and screens in one seamless workflow
Key reasons TA leaders, engineers,
and candidates prefer CoderPad
Test real-world engineering skills, not algorithm puzzles
Candidates work in a real IDE, solving problems the way they would on the job.
Codility
Relies on algorithm-heavy puzzles that don’t reflect real-world development, making it harder to evaluate how candidates will actually perform on the job.
Makes the assessment feel like the job, so hiring decisions are clearer and more confident.
- Production-style, multi-file projects aligned to your stack
- Real-time coding, testing, and iteration
- Evaluate real-world skills, not memorized solutions
Having a realistic coding assessment where we can confidently say ‘yes this candidate can jump into that code and make an impact’ is huge.

Get full AI visibility, not just basic detection
CoderPad doesn’t just flag AI use, it shows you how candidates think, prompt, and validate.
Codility
Provides limited AI detection signals without full context, making it difficult to distinguish between effective AI use and misuse.
Gives complete transparency into AI usage during assessments.
- See every prompt used during the session
- Review generated outputs and how candidates refined them
- Replay sessions with full context (keystrokes, tabs, timing)
We use CoderPad to understand how candidates think through problems and leverage tools like AI to enhance, not replace, problem-solving.
Stop losing 40% of your pipeline to drop-off
CoderPad keeps assessments engaging and job-relevant, so more candidates complete them.
Codility
Completion rates hover around ~60%, meaning a large portion of candidates abandon assessments before finishing.
Creates a seamless experience candidates prefer… and finish.
- 96% assessment completion rate
- Developers prefer it 16:1
- Clean, familiar IDE with no setup required
25% more candidates in funnel after switching
Built for live interviews from day one
CoderPad is designed for real-time, collaborative interviews, so teams can code together, evaluate how candidates think, and make better decisions.
Codility
Live interview capabilities are limited, so teams can’t fully collaborate and often end up evaluating candidates in isolation.
Built for real-time, collaborative interviews from the start.
- Same project flows from Screen → Interview
- Collaborate live: code, run, and debug together in real time
- Shared context and real-time evaluation reduce unnecessary interview rounds by 33%
CoderPad lets us validate baseline skills quickly, then move candidates into live, collaborative interviews to go deeper and make faster decisions.
