Case Study
How monday.com Adopted CoderPad to Scale Their Engineering Team
As monday.com has grown to over 3,000 employees, the talent team has faced an immense challenge: hiring dozens of engineers while maintaining a consistent, fair, and high-quality candidate experience. The coding interview process—once conducted in person using shared files and ad-hoc environments—could not support remote interviews or the dramatic increase in hiring volume that began during COVID.
To continue hiring at scale across frontend, backend, mobile, and full-stack roles, monday.com adopted CoderPad for its live coding interviews. Today, software engineering candidates at monday.com complete a CoderPad interview as part of the hiring process, supported by a rapidly growing pool of interviewers.
The Challenge
Before CoderPad, monday.com relied on homegrown tools and manual workflows:
- Candidates used their own IDEs or were provided with zip files containing coding templates.
- Interviewers had to manually distribute the files across teams and candidates.
- Maintaining and updating these code files, and then resharing them with all interviewers, caused considerable friction and process delays.
- Supporting multiple programming languages was difficult and inconsistent.
- Remote collaboration was nearly impossible.
According to Nir Lachman, Senior Engineering Tech Leader (Mobile Group):
We had to share the files, update them constantly, and the candidates ran everything on their own computers. It was a slow and complicated process.

When COVID accelerated the shift to remote hiring, this method couldn’t scale for a hyper-growth company.

Measurable Impact
1. Massive Time Savings For Engineering Leaders
Eliminating manual file preparation and template distribution significantly reduced the workload of the interviewers. Before CoderPad, implementing new coding questions across all interviewers could take several hours, with additional effort required to synchronize updates. Now, question creation and setup are seamless, and implementation is easier with CoderPad acting as a single source of truth where all interviewers can instantly see any adjustments.
This efficiency compounds across 70+ interviewers running coding interviews daily.
2. Faster Time-to-Decision
With everything needed contained in CoderPad:
- Interviewers can write feedback in real time
- Code review can happen with the click of a button to align stakeholders
Upon completion of the 1-hour interview, the interviewer has a strong basis for their decision, accelerating the process compared to taking days to deliberate.
3. Consistent, High-Quality Candidate Experience
With thousands of engineering candidates passing through the process:
- CoderPad provides a stable, reliable environment
- Candidates code in the language of their choice, reducing friction
- Interviewers rely on standardized, reusable templates for fairness
Nir emphasized how critical language flexibility on CoderPad has been:
CoderPad supports almost every language. It has opened a lot of opportunities for us.

4. Strong Predictive Validity
While monday.com doesn't attribute success to a single step, internal research shows that success with the CoderPad coding interview is highly useful in determining who will excel in subsequent interview rounds.
The CoderPad interview is a critical filter for advancing candidates to subsequent stages of the hiring process.
5 stars
This supports CoderPad’s role in helping monday.com efficiently filter technical candidates to bring in the best and right-fit talent.
5. Accelerated Movement Between Interview Stages
monday.com closely tracks how long it takes candidates to move from one interview stage to the next—a critical metric for maintaining hiring velocity in a competitive talent market.
With CoderPad enabling smooth scheduling, reliable live sessions, and a standardized environment for every candidate, the team has seen measurable progress in shortening these intervals.
We’re always looking at the time between interview stages and trying to shorten it. I can say with confidence that CoderPad has been impactful here.
5 stars
By eliminating technical friction, reducing interviewer prep time, and allowing interviews to run consistently over Zoom, CoderPad helps monday.com compress the overall hiring cycle and keep top talent engaged.
Conclusion
monday.com’s explosive growth demanded a technical hiring process that was scalable, predictable, and candidate-friendly. With CoderPad, they transformed a manual workflow into a streamlined, standardized global process.
CoderPad now powers:
- Faster time-to-hire
- Consistent interviewer enablement
- A better candidate experience
- A strong predictor of downstream interview performance
We love CoderPad – it has worked very well for us. The benefits to talent acquisition, engineers, and candidates have been clear.
