Codekai

Codekai uses programming exercises to select candidates worth interviewing, giving companies more time to focus on better interviews.

Codekai gives companies an objective evaluation of the true technical capabilities of candidates, before they begin reviewing resumes. This helps see through candidates that may have exaggerated in their resume, or uncover talent in candidates that may not have a very attractive resume.

It works like this: companies choose the exercises that are relevant to the skills required for their particular job opening. They then send candidates a link where they can complete the exercises. Candidates complete the exercises in an environment similar to their usual programming environment (Eclipse, NetBeans or Visual Studio). Once finished, Codekai analyses the validity of the solutions candidates provide, and gives companies a list of the candidates ordered by technical ability.
