Recruiting Software Developers – Coding Tests

1

LeetCode

So the coding tests are almost the opposite of what you do day to day as a developer. Because you aren’t naturally exposed to these kinds of problems when working, a whole industry has sprung up around coding tests and interviewing practice, with sites like Leetcode and HackerRank. But if you need to practice for an interview for a job, even if you have worked in a similar job for your whole career, something seems broken.

coderpad

Live coding. Coderpad seems to be the standard platform for this type of coding interview. You solve a problem you are given while the interviewer watches. I like this format, because you can have a conversation with the interviewer as you develop your solution. You can ask clarifying questions, and if you get stuck you can get some help. Sometimes it can almost become a pair-programming session.
