FaceCode 2.0 - The intelligent coding interview tool

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!

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.

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.

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

Looks like a pretty unique product...definitely goes way beyond just melding an IDE with a video chat feature.

Super cool product!!! We will definitely try this out.

I wish all recruiters were to adopt this so we could move away from the dreaded GDocs for online interviews.

I was actually interviewed through faceCode, and it was really a great experience. The coding area, white board for discussion with interviewer etc was really good and impressive. It is really a good platform not only for interviewers but also for a candidates. Kudos to HackerEarth!

Looking at hiring more developers in the coming months... will check this out for then!
