Coderbyte is a software company[1] that provides a technical assessment platform for organizations to evaluate candidates[2] and competitive programming challenges for developers to practice.[3] Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey, Coderbyte offers coding tests, assessments, and learning platforms designed to measure and improve coding skills.
History
[edit]Coderbyte was founded in 2012 by Daniel Borowski while he was a student in college. It was originally designed for developers to "take coding challenges online and then prepare for technical interviews"[4] and grew to 10,000 signups monthly. The site offers more than 2,000 challenges in 30 coding languages across front-end coding, back-end coding, and data science.[5]
In 2019 the company began offering services for employers, and claimed that more than 1,000 organizations had become customers within two years.[6] As of 2025, the company offered software for take-home assessments, live interviews, workforce upskilling, and personality tests.[7]
The company has never raised venture capital or funding.
Products and Services
[edit]Coderbyte offers a suite of tools designed to evaluate and improve technical and nontechnical skills. Their software integrations with Applicant Tracking Systems like Workable, Greenhouse, and iCIMS, and is available on Zapier.[8]
Assessment
[edit]The company's assessment feature provides standardized, asynchronous tests for coding, spreadsheets, data science, and various other technical and nontechnical skills.[7] Coderbyte has built numerous features to detect cheating, including screen recording, plagiarism detection, copy and paste detection, tab leaving detection, identity verification, location detection, and ChatGPT usage detection.[9]
Coderbyte claims to differentiate its platform by prioritizing the candidate experience, rather than optimizing for recruiters.[10] Borowski argues that poor candidate experiences lead to lower assessment completion rates,[11] which ultimately hurts employers.
Addressing concerns about candidates cheating on assessments using artificial intelligence, Coderbyte's Chief Revenue Officer, Nis Frome, warned employers about requiring even more invasive spyware that risks "[sacrificing] great candidate experiences for honest candidates. Odds are that if most of your candidates are cheating, you have a sourcing problem...The solution isn’t to make an authoritarian and tedious experience for all candidates."[12]
Coderbyte also advises employers against creating lengthy and tedious assessments, arguing that they aren't necessary and create adverse outcomes. In an interview, Frome said “The more friction an employer adds into their candidate evaluation process…the more that you realize that the best candidates are just not going to put up with that because the best candidates are going to get other job offers."[13]
Interviews
[edit]The company's interview feature provides a real-time coding IDE with video and audio capabilities.[7]
Personality testing
[edit]The company offers personality testing for Big 5, 16 Types, DISC, and Enneagram.[14]
