Byteboard

Byteboard provides project-based assessments that evaluate candidates across more than 20 software engineering skills, including Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Mobile Engineering, Frontend Web Development, Data Analysis, Data Engineering, and Security Engineering. Their assessments include a technical reasoning exercise and a code implementation exercise, and are designed to be inclusive and reduce bias through anonymized evaluations. Byteboard offers a collaborative live coding tool called CodeCollab for onsite interviews and integrates with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) for seamless data flow. The assessments are reviewed by practicing engineers and researchers to ensure consistency and fairness, and are calibrated for different experience levels, from interns to senior engineers. Byteboard’s CoreEval product features project-based take-home interviews, and their platform supports multiple programming languages including Java, Python, Ruby, C++, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Golang, Rust, TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift, and Flutter. Byteboard’s assessments are built to embrace AI coding solutions such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, and are designed to be scalable for high-volume hiring. The platform is fully remote, supports asynchronous assessments, and aims to limit candidate anxiety and improve candidate sentiment. Byteboard helps companies like Lyft, Figma, and Betterment improve their technical hiring processes by saving engineering time and providing detailed performance reports and recommendations for advancing candidates. Their assessments are designed to evaluate real-world skills rather than test-taking abilities, and have been used to increase offer rates to diverse talent and reduce engineering time spent interviewing.
