Startup Talk: Codeeval wants to help you recruit REAL coders
Yeah, yeah, call us what you want but there are more fake coders applying for jobs in the world than real ones. I know, since I have seen it first hand. When resources are spread thin, a startup or even a large company has limited time to look for suitable candidates out of a huge pool of resumes that flow in on a daily basis. Then there is also this problem of immigration fraud where students come from far off lands only to look for jobs with fake resumes. This world is all too evil, trust us.
This is where Codeeval, a California (yeah, where else?) based startup is trying to solve this seemingly unending problem. CodeEval is a platform for identifying strong programming candidates early on in the recruitment process. Employers receive loads of resumes for engineering positions. How does one choose from amongst these, whom to interview? The most foolproof way is to ask all candidates to solve a programming challenge and then choose from amongst the best solutions. CodeEval automates this foolproof process. It allows employers to set up challenges in a variety of languages such as Python/C/C++/Java etc and then auto executes/evaluates candidate submissions arriving at a CodeEval Score. Employers can then view the submissions of the top candidates and continue the recruitment process with these candidates, being assured that they have identified the brightest amongst the lot. i.e. CodeEval takes you from a ‘Mountain’ of seemingly similar candidates to a ‘Molehill’ of the smartest ones.
CodeEval also acts as a discovery platform. Candidates/Developers can log in for free and solve challenges after which they get a public profile containing their solutions. Employers can then search these public profiles and choose the candidates with the best solution. A win / Win for both sides.
So, how did you think Codeeval come into existence? Founder of Codeeval, Jim himself was a techie facing a problem with hiring. Engineers solve problems and Jim built Codeeval. Classic. Codeeval is free for use in beta phase. Go help your self!
