Give your engineering teams the tools to own the interview process
Your engineering teams already use Codility Screen. Codility Interview extends that into live technical interviews: your tasks, your VS Code workspace, your hiring decisions. No outsourcing required.
Where outsourced interviews fall short
Cost, quality, and capability challenges that compound at scale.
Each interview is billed individually regardless of outcome. Without pre-screening, costs scale linearly. At enterprise volumes, this reaches millions per year.
Failure rates exceeding 75% observed at enterprise deployments. Hiring managers still run follow-up interviews because they do not trust outsourced results. The interview adds a step rather than replacing one.
Candidates describe outsourced sessions as rushed and impersonal. Some refuse entirely due to privacy concerns. On developer forums, senior engineers advise peers to decline outsourced interviews.
Your organization is not building internal capability. Providers control question design with limited ability to tailor to your roles or engineering culture. Common technologies like .NET, mainframe, Dart/Flutter, and Pega are often not covered.
In practice, hiring managers do not trust outsourced results and still run follow-up interviews. The outsourced step adds to the process rather than replacing anything.
Fewer interviews per hire. Stronger signal. Every session produces a transcript, rubric scores, and playback. Pre-loaded tasks, structured rubrics, and a familiar VS Code workspace mean zero prep overhead and no manual note-taking.
What Codility Interview delivers
A shared paired-programming workspace for structured technical interviews. Built by engineers, for engineers.
VS Code: the environment your teams already use
Both candidates and interviewers work in VS Code, the IDE engineers use every day. Terminal, packages, multi-file navigation, autocomplete, and sidecar services for databases, caching, and message queues. No learning curve for either side.
Controlled AI copilot
Optional AI copilot replicates the on-the-job experience. Every AI interaction is captured in a reviewable chat history. Control access role-by-role: enabled, restricted, or monitored.
Whiteboard + system design
Visual collaboration and system design in the same live session. No separate tools, no screen-sharing workarounds.
Full technology coverage
.NET, mainframe, Dart/Flutter, Pega, and more. A task library mirroring real work across APIs, React, Spring Boot, and infrastructure. Coming Q2: a task-builder MCP connector for creating tasks directly from the IDE.
Structured, reviewable output
Transcript, video playback, rubric scores, and integrity signals after every session. One defensible record. No chasing engineers for feedback.
Identity + integrity built into the session
Identity verification and proctoring signals confirm who is at the keyboard. The interviewer observes reasoning in real time. Reviewable evidence, not a third-party summary.
Head-to-head: Outsourced interviewing vs Codility Interview
Platform vs services, across the dimensions that matter.
| Dimension | Outsourced Interviewing | Codility Interview |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per evaluation | $250-$350 per interview | Orders of magnitude lower per evaluation |
| Projected annual cost | Millions at enterprise scale | Fraction of outsourced spend. Screen + Interview in one volume commitment. |
| Interview environment | Proprietary IDE, unfamiliar to candidates | VS Code, the IDE engineers already use daily |
| AI-era assessment | Recent AI-enabled interview products from outsourced providers remain unproven. Industry data shows rising cheating rates on MCQ-based screening assessments. | Built-in AI copilot with agentic exercises, production-ready |
| Reporting | Manual extraction, months of lag | Real-time per-session transcript, playback, rubric |
| Common technology gaps | .NET, mainframe, Dart/Flutter, Pega not covered | Broad coverage with custom task environments |
| Early careers support | Not fit for purpose at scale | Thousands of campus assessments delivered at scale |
| Internal capability | Third-party dependency | Engineering teams own evaluation |
| Customization | Standardized questions, limited client control | Custom tasks, your rubric, your evaluation criteria |
| Feedback turnaround | Reports route through third-party processing, days of lag | Transcript, playback, and rubric available immediately after session |
| Business model alignment | Per-interview billing: $250-$350 each, revenue increases with volume and failures | Volume commitment: Screen + Interview in one plan. Credits returned for cancellations and no-shows. |
The financial case
Measurable, immediate savings.
Remove the per-interview line item entirely. At enterprise volumes, millions per year returned to the technology budget.
One Codility commitment covers Screen and Interview at a fundamentally lower cost structure than per-interview outsourced charges.
One login for recruiters and hiring managers. Reuse Screen tasks in Interview. Results connected in a single view. One annual review.
One platform from screening to interviewing
One login, one task library, one data model, one evidence standard. Recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates move through a single experience from screening to interviewing.
Live
Screen
Tens of thousands of assessments completed at enterprise scale. High-volume candidate screening with reviewable evidence and AI-generated candidate feedback. The foundation your teams already rely on.
Ready to Scale
Interview
Live technical interviews in the same platform. Hiring managers see Screen results and Interview evidence side by side. One workflow, one vendor, one procurement relationship.
On the Roadmap
