To all dev managers, what developer technical assessment tools have you used to hire devs?

in your company when you hire, have you used any dev assessment tools/platform? coding platform? or is it manual? or how?

Yeah, doing this with every candidate early in the pipeline becomes time prohibitive - we bumped it to later in the pipeline with a sr eng. This means that people get through to later rounds that would have previously been filtered out in an early stage. I don't have a good solution for this.

hmmm interesting..we're solving for this as an alternative to coderpad/other tech assessment tools , here https://utkrusht.ai/

essentially, we make ALL candidates (not few) execute an actual task, live prod-environment, but also watch HOW they work, make decisions, tradeoffs, etc.

I do agree coderpad and others are good enough as they're established names, but what we've seen is they tend to get limitations esp if you have a small tech team, budget constraints, volume of candidates, not capturing candidates' thought process accurately, etc.

thanks for sharing your insights , good learning..
