I’ve been diving deep into different technical assessment tools lately, and it feels like the landscape is changing fast. A friend of mine swears by Codility, but I’ve found HackerRank to be super effective for gauging real skills; i’m curious — what tools are you all using to effectively evaluate candidates, especially in a remote setting?
I’ve found that incorporating project-based assessments can really showcase a candidate’s abilities, especially in a remote setting. For example, using a platform like GitHub allows candidates to demonstrate their real coding practices in a practical way. Have you tried mixing in any hands-on projects with your assessments?
I’ve been leaning towards HackerRank too because of its versatility, but I wonder if Codility’s focus on specific coding skills could be better for particular roles. Have you tried using project assessments alongside these tools? It could give a broader view of candidates’ capabilities.
It’s interesting how everyone has their go-to tool, but I think mixing methods can really highlight different skills. For instance, using HackerRank for coding skills and then a project-based approach could give a fuller picture of a candidate’s abilities. Have you considered tests alongside real-world projects, @clara_j57?
