Codility is a software assessment tool that tests a candidates coding ability. This tool is used by big companies/ hirers during their hiring and interview process. Codility uses a data base where coding challenges are given to candidates to complete with a fixed amount of time. The code is then tested and results are submitted to the employer.

Codility not only tests coding challenges but time and space complexities as well. This helps employers assess basic problem solving and time utilization skills of the candidate. Codility uses coding patterns and algorithms which are much more difficult than the regular coding tests. Hence, candidates use this as practice in general. Codility is a user friendly platform for interviewers. The interviewer can choose the coding challenges, select the time and track your candidates’ performance, and thus decides whether they are fit for a face to face interview. Codility saves time by using one coding test for all the technical roles, it provides flexibility and sets benchmarks to move people through the pipeline faster if you are a start- up. For mid-size companies, it helps to engage candidates by sharing the assessments before bringing them onsite. For enterprises and big hirers, the most important feature is that they can use Codility to filter out several candidates at once. Secondary to this, it helps to test how well candidates work under pressure and various work situations and helps avoid maximum manual work.

In conclusion, technical rounds are a very important part of the hiring process. Without a technical interview, you will never know how much value you can deliver, how much you enjoying working, how much you can rely on, how much criticism you can take, how well you can balance your work and how well you can adapt to a particular environment. Codility here simplifies this process recruiters and companies from all over the globe.
