Evaluate real-world skills for your specific tech stack
Swap CodeSignal’s standardized tests for fully customizable assessments based on the role’s real requirements.
CodeSignal
Relies on standardized, algorithm-heavy tests that don’t reflect real-world development.
Makes the assessment feel like the job, so hiring decisions are clearer and more confident.
- Production-style, multi-file projects aligned to your stack
- Real-time coding, testing, and iteration
- 99+ languages/frameworks with full customization
Having a realistic coding assessment where we can confidently say ‘yes this candidate can jump into that code and make an impact’ is huge.

Get full AI visibility, not invasive proctoring
CoderPad shows how candidates think, build, and use AI, without putting them under surveillance.
CodeSignal
Relies on heavy proctoring and monitoring, which creates pressure for candidates and provides limited insight into how they actually think or solve problems.
Delivers complete transparency into candidate behavior, without disrupting the experience.
- See every prompt, output, and refinement in one place
- Replay sessions with full context (keystrokes, tabs, timing)
- Built-in integrity without disruptive live proctors
We use CoderPad to understand how candidates think through problems and leverage tools like AI to enhance, not replace, problem-solving.
Stop losing candidates to slow processes and drop-off
CoderPad keeps assessments fast, intuitive, and relevant, so more candidates complete them.
CodeSignal
Assessment workflows can slow down hiring with 3–4 day verification delays and a high-friction candidate experience, leading to drop-off and lost candidates.
Keeps your hiring process moving with a seamless, developer-friendly experience candidates actually complete.
- 96% assessment completion rate
- Real-time results, no verification delays
- Familiar VS Code-based IDE candidates actually prefer
25% more candidates in funnel after switching
Make hiring decisions based on real insight, not a single score
Make confident hiring choices with full visibility into how candidates approach, solve, and iterate on problems.
CodeSignal
Reduces candidates to a single score, giving limited insight into how they approach problems or write code.
Gives full visibility into the candidate’s thinking, so you can make confident, evidence-based hiring decisions.
- Review the full problem-solving process, not just the final answer
- Code playback shows how candidates iterate and debug
- Rich evaluation signals for better, faster decisions
CoderPad lets us validate baseline skills quickly, then move candidates into live, collaborative interviews to go deeper and make faster decisions.
