Resume-first screening

A candidate with a limited resume can be overlooked before demonstrating engineering ability.

Homegrown assessments

When teams use different tasks and scoring criteria, hiring managers can struggle to compare results.

Manual proctoring

More candidates create more monitoring and follow-up work for your team.

Incomplete decision records

A screenshot and informal notes can leave your team unable to explain how a score was produced.

Codility Screen

Use Codility Screen for engineering assessment

A coding assessment platform evaluates candidates through submitted code. Codility Screen runs this stage asynchronously, with tasks selected for the engineering role. You can review the results before committing time to a live interview.

Build your shortlist from task output

  • A resume does not give your engineers a solution to inspect.
  • Screen lets you choose tasks mapped to the Engineering Skills Model, which covers 210 skills and subskills.
  • Candidates complete the assessment in a realistic coding environment.
  • Selected tasks are scored automatically against test cases.
  • Codility connects with platforms, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SAP and SmartRecruiters, so recruiters can review results in their existing hiring process.

The difference: You can select candidates using demonstrated task performance.

Explain the method behind an assessment score

  • An undocumented scoring rule gives your team little support when a result is questioned.
  • Codility shares its technical manual with prospective and existing clients and updates the manual every six months.
  • The methodology aligns with the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.
  • Codility also provides adverse impact analysis at cut scores.
  • Your reviewers can examine differences in results across candidate groups.

The difference: Your procurement and legal reviewers can examine supporting documentation before your team adopts the assessment.

Investigate a result without watching every session

  • A recording alone requires your team to locate the events that need attention.
  • Screen provides behavioral signals, similarity checks and identity-verification evidence for review.
  • Integrity Risk summarizes contributing signals in a reviewable risk level.
  • You enable or disable the AI Assistant per assessment.
  • When enabled, every interaction is captured as reviewable AI activity.

The difference: Reviewers can inspect specific events before deciding whether further investigation is needed.

Frequently asked questions

How is a coding assessment platform different from a take-home assignment?

A coding assessment platform provides task delivery, scoring and review tools in one system. A manually reviewed take-home requires your team to manage those steps itself. Codility Screen supports automatic scoring on selected tasks.
