HackerRank Alternatives And Competitors

Qualified is a performance based platform that allows organizations to use coding assessments and pair programming interviews to vet technical talent. Unlike other platforms, we use actual unit tests and a wide range of language specific testing frameworks that better predict actual on the job performance. Any assessment can easily be turned into a pair-programming session and all assessments can be timed and recorded in order to give hiring managers a deeper level of insight into each candidates thought process and problem solving ability.

Qualified is built to be integrated into other platforms and inside any evaluation process. API, Webhooks, platform embedding, education, certification, recruitment… you name it, we can support it.

CoderPad used to be the clear winner and household name in the space, but has been slow to innovate since they were acquired by a PE firm and need to now focus on enterprise deals. Nevertheless, they have a tried and true interview experience that many engineering managers and candidates are familiar with.

Pros

• Ease-of-use: CoderPad makes it super easy to start an interview (or a “pad” as they call it) with built-in video/audio. They even have a Google Chrome extension for scheduling and starting interviews. You can toggle to an embedded drawing mode and access a playback mode.
• Affordability: You can interview two candidates for free per month.

Cons

• For how long CoderPad has been around, their platform is shockingly limited in terms of languages and features. They don’t offer Jupyter Notebooks, don’t offer support for back-end frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails, and have a very primitive capability for multi-file, full-stack applications. You’re also very limited in overall candidate management and scorecard capabilities.
• Virtually every company will exhaust the free plan immediately, and then CoderPad actually becomes one of the most expensive platforms on a per-candidate basis. You’ll have to pay even more if you want their automated assessment features.

In the past two years, Coderbyte revamped their live coding interview feature set to be the most powerful on the market with a number of unique features not found elsewhere. With 3,000 customers and an affordable unlimited candidate and admin plan, organizations will find few reasons not to love Coderbyte.

Pros

• Technical evaluations: Coderbyte has a full-stack multi-file coding IDE with built-in video/audio and support for multiple interviewers.
• Breadth of roles: In addition to a coding IDE, you can toggle to embedded whiteboards, Jupyter Notebooks, and spreadsheets to evaluate candidates for a number of other technical roles.
• Ease-of-use: Coderbyte offers unmatched convenience. Enjoy a number of killer features like unlimited admins, the ability to create custom questions and multi-question interview templates, passcodes for non-admins to start interviews, custom scorecards, and interview playback.
• Affordability: Coderbyte offers the industry’s only unlimited candidate and admin plan that includes automated assessments along with interviews, and it’s just $199/month plus you get a 14-day free trial. As tech layoffs continue, employers that are still hiring will receive many more applicants than before, so the unlimited plan is very useful. Alternatively, you can pay-as-you-go.

Cons

• If you only need a single admin account to interview a handful of candidates, there are cheaper starter plans elsewhere. But those plans will quickly get more expensive at any moderate scale.
• Coderbyte has a large library of technical challenges with the ability for you to create your own, but other platforms will typically offer larger libraries.

Built by former Google engineers, Byteboard aims to rethink the traditional coding interview to be more unbiased and candidate-friendly (somewhat ironic since Google is the company that notoriously made interviews into intimidating riddles in the first place). By conducting the interview process end-to-end and providing a recommendation to your engineering team, Byteboard controls the experience to ensure consistency. Because it’s a full-service offering, it’s many times more expensive than self-service platforms, but venture-backed cash-rich startups in Silicon Valley will appreciate the time savings.

Pros

• Technical evaluations: Byteboard maintains a roster of vetted engineers and calibrated questions to conduct the interviews on your behalf.
• Ease-of-use: In theory you can completely offload the technical interview process to Byteboard and you’ll get a robust report and recommendation to inform your candidate evaluation.

Cons

• Limited languages: Back-end interviews can only be conducted in Java, Python, Ruby, C++, C#, node.js, Go, and PHP and front-end interviews are limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
• Limited question set: Interviews must use one of Byteboard’s questions for the interview. You cannot use a custom interview question designed to match your day-to-day project requirements.
• Lack of control: You offload the entire interview process to Byteboard and must trust their engineers, questions, and recommendations.
• Expect to spend at least $25,000+/year if you’re doing even a moderate amount of hiring.
