FaceCode is the most intelligent coding interview tool ever built. It's helps interviewers make objective hiring decisions with ease, speed and accuracy.
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
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!
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.
@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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
@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!
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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
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.
@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_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.
