CodePair

For the nay-sayers out there: You have clearly not been anywhere near the hiring funnel of a tech company. The sheer number of people with impressive academic credentials, even…

One anectdote, for whateever it's worth - Our company adopted online code testing, in which the screening interviewer (as opposed to the entire interview team) tossed out sample…

This is awesome. I always ask people to code in phone interviews and I use Googe Docs. You will be surprised at the number of people who have good resumes but cannot code at all.…

Impressive. But this product also makes me depressed. It dehumanizes the interview process. My question is why don't you just have a challenge server, like facebook?

I'm not sure how I'd feel about doing some coding before I even went through other parts of the interview process or meeting the team I'd be working with. This sends me the…

This is pretty cool for phone interviews, but I certainly do hope that people refrain from using this as their only method of interviewing candidates.

I was referring to long standing problem of tech interviewers of getting caught up in academic style programming questions as if they're representative of the work that's…

This is really cool! A few things though: * You probably have your reasons, but requiring an email to simply test it out is too much IMO. I don't want to go through the email…

I'd also have to add the URLs are too long. With Collabedit I'm often telling the candidate the URL over the phone. The unique IDs for a Codepair page are just too much to read…

Why isn't there more information like a list of languages/compilers etc? The site needs to say more than "contact us" or try an interview to figure out what you can do with it.

Suspiciously similar. Which came first, CoderPad or CodePair?

Are all the tests canned? Wouldn't people be able to figure them out ahead of time and prepare the right answers?

At my last gig we used Stypi or Google Docs plus a phone to do live code exercises, and CodePair likes like a step up from that. But what we're running at my current gig is…

Shameless plug for my sideproject I'm currently working on, http://hiresync.io which is aiming to do much of the same thing.
