   Solid Skill Testing Platform — Good, but Not Perfect for Every Hiring Need

   We’ve been using TestGorilla as part of our hiring process to screen applicants before bringing them into interviews, and it’s proven quite useful. The idea is simple but helpful: instead of spending hours reviewing resumes, you give candidates a relevant test right away. Seeing how people perform on real job-related tasks gives us a much clearer picture early on.

   The test library is broad, covering everything from coding challenges and software proficiency to logical thinking and communication skills. Setting up and sending tests doesn’t take long, and the results are laid out in a clear way that makes comparison between applicants straightforward.

   Where it falls a bit short is in the depth of some tests — a few feel like they’re too surface-level to really separate top performers from average ones. Creating your own custom assessments is possible, but the interface for doing that could use refinement. Also, once you scale up hiring, costs add up — especially if every team needs access.

   Overall, TestGorilla adds real value to the recruiting process by helping weed out unfit candidates early and giving objective data on skills — which is why I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

   👍 Pros:    Clean dashboard makes it easier for hiring teams to review re

   👎 Cons:    Custom test creation could be more intuitive

• Need advice on hiring process for dev team

  What I had in mind was using either SHL-style aptitude tests, or third party assessments like testgorilla.com rather than a take-home exercise that I'd be moderating. I also remembered doing an online knowledge test of various web technologies when I used to be a web-dev - which could be useful for assessing Unity/C# knowledge. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Here Is A List Of Bootcamps That Have Shutdown Or Rebranded That I Have Collected (As Of August 2023)

  What annoys me is that all of these are so expensive. When I wanted to learn and practice, I personally hate committing to these, but there are actually a few great coding bootcamps or platforms that are cheaper like codeonthecob.com and coursera. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking for a cofounder

  Hey everyone, I am looking for a cofounder to help me grow my website codeonthecob.com. The ideal person would be excited about owning the community engagement/marketing side of the site and would also help with innovating on the product. Source: about 3 years ago

• I built a website for practicing coding

  Hey everyone, I am the creator of codeonthecob.com. It is a website that I created where users can practice coding by completing simple exercises. I had to take a break from the site while I finished up school but now I am back and looking to build CodeOnTheCob into community for people that want to learn how to code. Source: about 3 years ago

• I built a website with coding challenges

  Hey guys. I built codeonthecob.com. It is a website with coding challenges. It is similar to LeetCode but the challenges are a lot easier. Maybe you will find it helpful for practicing Python. Thanks everyone! Source: over 3 years ago

  Codewars.com is an awesome site. codeonthecob.com is still in its very early stages so I think only time will tell if people lean towards one or the other or both. Source: over 3 years ago
