Codility

Codility is a technical hiring and skills assessment platform designed to help recruiting and engineering teams evaluate software engineering candidates using job-relevant, skill-based methods rather than abstract brainteasers. It is primarily used by talent acquisition, recruiting operations, and engineering interviewers who need consistent, scalable workflows for screening and interviewing candidates for technical roles. The platform centers on structured screening assessments and live technical interviews. For screening, Codility provides skills-based assessments intended to validate candidates' minimum required skills and produce standardized signals for hiring decisions. For live interviewing, Codility offers an interactive environment that combines real-time collaboration capabilities (including an IDE) with interview workflows, enabling interviewers to observe how candidates solve problems and communicate in a high-fidelity setting. Codility also positions its offering as being informed by "assessment science," emphasizing validity, fairness, and compliance-oriented practices. Codility's packaging is based on subscription plans with defined usage allowances ("invites") and user licensing. The public pricing page lists a self-serve annual Starter plan and a Scale plan available monthly or annually, plus a Custom tier aimed at higher-volume or enterprise needs. Plans include access to Screen and Interview tools, content libraries with stated question counts, and integrity measures such as proctoring and plagiarism detection. The Custom tier adds broader platform modules (including Events and Skills Intelligence) and enterprise controls such as SSO and integrations. Codility also highlights workflow integration with existing recruiting tooling, including ATS and scheduling ecosystems, to reduce administrative overhead and speed adoption. From a security and privacy standpoint, Codility publishes materials describing GDPR-aligned practices and references independent security frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Overall, Codility is best suited for organizations that want a standardized, skills-based approach to technical hiring—especially teams that need scalable assessments, structured interviews, and enterprise-grade controls as hiring volume and stakeholder complexity increase.
