Today’s failing approach: technical interview outsourcing followed by a second round
Repeated technical interviews.
An interview outsourcing company runs a first-round interview after your screening. Buyers report that hiring managers still interview candidates afterward, often repeating the provider’s evaluation.
Limited control over questions.
Buyers report limited control over the provider’s questions. Generic questions can advance candidates who do not fit the role, taking up your engineers’ interview time.
Interviewers from outside your team.
Candidates meet an external interviewer instead of the engineers they would join.
Delayed feedback in separate reports.
Buyers report waiting days for the provider’s feedback, then reconciling it with screening results by hand.
Move from three stages to Screen and Interview
Use Codility Screen to build the shortlist and Codility Interview for your hiring manager’s technical interview. The assessment replaces the provider’s shortlisting step, removing the outsourced round from your process.
| Stage in today's process | Today | With Codility |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Screening | Your screening step | Codility Screen screens candidates and builds the shortlist |
| 2. Outsourced first-round interview | The provider's interviewers filter candidates | Removed. Codility Screen covers the shortlisting |
| 3. Hiring manager's technical interview | Runs after the provider's round | Your engineers run it in Codility Interview, with Screen-shortlisted candidates |
Shortlist candidates on role-relevant engineering tasks
When you outsource technical interviews, shortlisting requires a scheduled interviewer. With Codility Screen, candidates complete an asynchronous assessment on their own.
Choose from 1,300+ validated engineering tasks covering technologies including React, Spring Boot and Kubernetes. Automatic scoring on selected Codility tasks evaluates the output against defined test cases. Your team sets the passing score and decides who advances.
Integrity signals, including identity verification and similarity checks, give your reviewers evidence to assess.
The difference: Your team controls the tasks and passing score used to shortlist candidates.
Interview the Screen shortlist with your own engineers
Codility Interview is the second stage, where your engineers interview the candidates shortlisted through Screen. The live session runs in a shared VS Code workspace, including a terminal, dependencies and autocomplete. A whiteboard supports system design discussions in the same session.
Your engineers can reuse tasks from Screen or bring an exercise written for the role.
The AI Copilot is optional in Codility Interview. When the AI Copilot is enabled, every candidate interaction is captured as reviewable AI activity.
The difference: Your engineers evaluate candidates directly, and candidates meet the team they would join.
Review Screen results and interview evidence on one platform
Your interviewers score candidates against the criteria your team defines in Codility Interview. When configured, transcript and playback let your hiring committee review the session when interviewers disagree.
Your team accesses Screen results and Interview evidence on the same platform, with one login.
The difference: Your hiring committee can review evidence from assessments and interviews your team runs, without reconciling a provider’s report.
Choose based on who will run your technical interviews
An interview as a service provider supplies interviewers. Codility supplies assessment software and an interview workspace; your team provides the engineers to run live interviews.
If your team cannot allocate engineers to interviews, a provider may fit your needs. Confirm coverage for your roles and schedule. If your hiring managers already interview candidates after the outsourced round, Screen and Interview can replace that three-stage process.
