Hey everyone! I’m Sachin, Co-founder and CEO at HackerEarth. Thanks for the hunt, Kevin! I’m super excited to announce the launch of FaceCode 2.0. The entire HackerEarth team has worked hard over the last one year to create this product. The pandemic forced an evolution of coding interview tools, making them adapt to a fully remote interview process. But despite these improvements, we realized that the existing products were only facilitating collaboration but not really helping interviewees in making objective hiring decisions. So, we decided to reach out to our hiring managers and learn more about their challenges. We focused on diving deep into the interview process, so that we could look beyond the surface-level problems. Across different geographies, interviewing scale and skill sets, we found one insight across the board: it wasn’t just remote coding interview tools that needed to change, it was coding interviews as a whole! We learned coding interviews have 3 major challenges: 1) Recruiters and hiring managers are often caught underprepared for an interview, given their workload. This problem is more acute in the case of younger interviewers. 2) Hiring decisions are prone to both bias and inefficiency due to a lack of objective evaluation parameters. 3) Recording interview feedback takes a lot of time and in many cases not done objectively and quickly, leading to biased evaluations. How did we solve these problems? 1) A large library of relevant, high-quality coding questions that can be chosen on the fly. 2) An objective system that standardizes scoring across your interview panel. 3) An interview summary generator that automatically generates an interview summary based on parameters like interviewer ratings, candidate engagement levels, time spent coding, quality of code, etc. We've also added comprehensive Interview reports, audio transcripts and video recordings for post-interview analysis. Give FaceCode a whirl and let us know what you think. We believe it’s time for Intelligent Coding Interviews and we want to lead the way with FaceCode. We’re also keen on answering any questions you might have. Cheers, Sachin

@daryllman Yes, these insights really help truly skilled candidates shine. They let them "Show" instead of "Tell".
Alfred Alexander
Looks slick with a set of very useful features. Plus you're telling me that it'll automatically generate interview summaries for me? Cant wait to try it out!
Alfred Alexander
Well I just tried it with someone from my team and it's fab! Really good stuff
Akash Bhat
@alfred_alexander Yes, it is fab. Love the interface. Its's so simple, there is no learning curve. Our folks get it right away.
Sachin Gupta
@alfred_alexander We've got a limited-period offer running, Alfred. Do check it out on our website. You'll like it
Akash Bhat
Existing user. The tool has an incredibly large feature set. When these guys say "in-depth", they mean it. The best developer interview tool that we've ever used.
Sachin Gupta
@akashkj Kinds words, thank you, Akash.
Srikanth Tirupattur
Looks like a pretty unique product...definitely goes way beyond just melding an IDE with a video chat feature.
Sachin Gupta
@srikanth_tirupattur Yes, we really believe that a coding interview tool should be more than just Video + IDE. There's so much more in the interview experience that can be improved, and we've done just that with FaceCode 2.0.

Do we need hackerEarth Assessments account to access FaceCode 2.0 ?
Sachin Gupta
@saksham_tomar No, you do not need an assessments account. Anyone can sign-up for FaceCode and start using it right away - ANYONE :)
Trishya Kay
Heard from a recruiter friend who has been using this since the beta phase. She says it drastically reduces the TTH. Less friction between hiring managers and TA. Better analysis of candidate behaviour, and role fit. I thought I should try. Can I talk to someone?
Navaneethakrishnan Ramachandran
FaceCode 2.0 is pretty nifty. The editor interface is very good. At par with offline editors. I see this to be a good tool to use even for offline interviews. With the ability to include your own questions, interview insights, it makes a great tool for code pairing interviews
Sachin Gupta
@new_user_bcbf4d98ba Always a pleasure to hear back from engineers, Navaneetha. Its feedback like this that keeps us going. Thank you.
Trip Padukone
Love FaceCode - one of the coolest features is being able to see the candidate code live! A lot easier to evaluate their skills as against using a whiteboard/online word processing tools :D
Sachin Gupta
@trip_padukone Yes, Trip. Seeing is believing :) And FaceCode lets you do that (and more, with interview recordings). Thanks for your support.
Sunil Kumar
Wow!! Automated interview summary - exactly what I was thinking off while taking an interview yesterday. For people who take multiple interviews in a day, this product is a gift from the gods.
Sachin Gupta
@new_user_16914e49c5 Thank you for saying that Sunil. I hope you'll try it out today.
Jimmy Timmins
Just started using FaceCode last year. 2.0 is really a full featured product and is a very fluid experience for both the interviewer and interviewee. Once you train your team on a interview script FaceCode makes it real easy to get a real interactive tech interview. Really like the record feature and interview feedback features - this speeds up the whole interview process so we can act quickly on the Talent.
Sachin Gupta
@jimmy_timmins Thank you, Jimmy. Glad you like the interview feedback features, they're my favorite as well - really helps us reduce that TTH. Thanks a ton for your support!
James Quinn
Looking at hiring more developers in the coming months... will check this out for then!
Ashish Nasa
All the products by HackerEarth team are reliable and top-notch. This one too is the best in the category.
Sachin Gupta
@ashish_nasa Thank you, Ashish.
Sohini Lala
FaceCode is a no brainer! I see it becoming a staple in tech job interviews in the coming years. I’ve used it as a developer. The experience was smooth.
Sachin Gupta
@sohini_lala We always love hearing back from developers who've used our platform. Thank you, Sohini. I hope you'll start using it for any interview you conduct in the future.
Ruehie Karri
Glad I checked Product Hunt today. Signed up for a free trial - I’ve never seen an interview tool with all these features. This is very impressive 💖
Vaibhav Sharma
I wish all recruiters were to adopt this so we could move away from the dreaded GDocs for online interviews.
Sachin Gupta
@vaibhv_shrma Haha. Yes, Google Docs and physical whiteboards. I still remember my experience as a candidate, back in the day, when I gave interviews on a physical whiteboard, and even on a sheet of paper. Absolutely frustrating. Glad we've come a long way from that now.
harshini satya
Seems like a super useful product, especially considering hiring is mostly remote these days! Kudos guys!
Sachin Gupta
@harshini_satya Thanks, Harshini.
Mithila N Bhat
This looks cool!! also love the fact that it comes loaded with coding questions. Congratulations on the launch, team!
Sachin Gupta
@mithila_n_bhat Yes, we add fresh questions every month. Also, our questions are unique and crafted in-house, which means the content that you're using in an interview is fresh and of the highest quality.
Avnee
FaceCode 2.0 really makes interviewing candidates seamless, efficient and FAST!
Sachin Gupta
@avnth Glad to hear that, Avnee. Always a treat to hear positive feedback from engineers.
Vivek Collur
My interview was taken using FaceCode... Hands down one of the best platforms out there! All my prior Zoom/Meet interviews couldnt hold a candle to it because of the in-built coding IDE, and the lack of a need to share my screen. Im sure Version 2.0 will deliver an even better experience. Kudos, guys! Great job.
Sachin Gupta
@vivek_collur Thank you for the kind words, Vivek. Yes, we've put a lot of love into 2.0 and we've worked hard to ensure that we make an actual, positive difference in the interview process for a hiring manager (and the candidate).
Ali Haider
Something different coming up here! Probably will love to explore the deep insights of interviews by the product.
Sachin Gupta
@ali_haider8 Yes, these insights will help you identify skilled candidates faster. I hope you'll sign-up and start using the app today. We'll give you plenty of free credits. Go take it for a spin.
