Skills Assessment
Verify Beyond Words
Prove what candidates can actually do with practical, hands-on assessments built into your hiring flow. Live coding tests, logic puzzles, writing samples, and design challenges run inside one platform, so talk gives way to evidence.
Resumes and interview answers tell you what candidates say they can do, but they rarely show whether the skill holds up under real work. Sending take-home tasks through separate tools means clunky handoffs, inconsistent grading, and easy opportunities to cheat or outsource the work. InterviewFi puts practical assessments directly inside the interview flow, with a built-in IDE for live coding, logic puzzles, writing prompts, and design challenges that candidates complete under observation. You see the work happen in real time and get structured, comparable results without ever leaving the platform.
Key Benefits
- Built-in IDE for live coding
- Test real skills, not claims
- Logic puzzles reveal problem-solving
- Writing samples graded consistently
- Design challenges with shared canvas
- No third-party tools to stitch
- Standardized scoring across candidates
- Harder to fake or outsource
How It Works
Pick assessment type
Choose live coding, logic puzzles, a writing sample, or a design challenge to match the role. Mix several into one session when a position demands a broad skill set.
Candidate works live
The candidate completes the task in the built-in IDE or workspace while the session is recorded. You watch the approach unfold, not just the final answer.
Auto and rubric scoring
Code runs against test cases, and written and design work is scored against a consistent rubric. Every candidate is measured the same way.
Compare and decide
Results land alongside the rest of the interview record for side-by-side review. Shortlist on evidence of skill rather than gut feel.
With vs Without InterviewFi
| Feature | With InterviewFi | Without InterviewFi |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment formats | Coding, logic, writing, and design in one place | Separate tools cobbled together per skill |
| Coding environment | Built-in IDE with live execution | External sandbox or shared screen guesswork |
| Scoring | Auto test cases plus consistent rubrics | Manual review with inconsistent judgment |
| Integrity | Live, observed sessions that are hard to fake | Unsupervised take-homes open to outsourcing |
| Candidate comparison | Results sit alongside the full interview record | Scattered files and spreadsheets to reconcile |
Common Use Cases
"We replaced three take-home tools with InterviewFi assessments and finally trust what we see. Watching candidates solve a coding task live cut our bad engineering hires dramatically."
Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat types of assessments are available?
You can run live coding tests in a built-in IDE, logic puzzles, writing samples, and design challenges. Each format is suited to a different role, and you can combine several in a single session when a position calls for a wider range of skills.
QHow does the live coding environment work?
Candidates write and run code directly in a browser-based IDE that supports many popular languages. The session is recorded so you can review their approach, and code is checked against test cases for objective, automatic scoring.
QCan assessments be scored consistently across candidates?
Yes. Coding tasks are graded against the same test cases, and written and design work is scored against a fixed rubric you define. Every candidate is measured on identical criteria, which makes shortlisting fairer and easier to defend.
QDo candidates need to install anything?
No. Everything runs in the browser inside the interview flow, including the IDE and the design canvas. Candidates simply join the session and start working, with no downloads or external accounts required.
