10 Reasons Why HackerEarth is Better Than Codility

Focuses on assessing and improving coding ability:
HackerEarth simplifies technical candidate assessment with its extensive toolset, offering coding assessments for screening and a real-time coding editor for interviews. Additionally, it supports the upskilling of existing developer employees.

Filtering candidates efficiently:
HackerEarth allows organisations to filter and shortlist the best candidates after initial screening tests as it provides section-wise performance reports, language expertise, question type-wise performance and time taken to solve questions. On the other hand, Codility only filters them according to the passing score.

Customising tests for various roles:
Tailor assessments to your needs or choose from over 25,000 questions and more than 80 skills tests, catering to diverse recruitment scenarios, even for non-technical recruiters. Additionally, with 20,000+ technical questions, HackerEarth provides a much larger question bank than Codility’s 2,500 questions, ensuring a comprehensive assessment experience.

Advanced features and proctoring:
HackerEarth provides features like real-time collaborative coding, and auto-evaluation of subjective questions, enhancing the assessment process compared to Codility. Unlike Codility, HackerEarth also uses methods like disabling copy-paste, detecting tab switches and restricting to fullscreen mode to prevent cheating.

Versatility in programming language:
With support for over 40 programming languages, HackerEarth enables candidates to demonstrate their coding skills in their preferred language, offering more flexibility than Codility’s limited language options.

Enhanced integration ecosystem:
HackerEarth seamlessly integrates with leading HR systems and ATS platforms, streamlining the recruitment process and ensuring data consistency across platforms, a feature lacking in Codility.

Dedicated customer support:
HackerEarth provides round-the-clock support and assigns dedicated Customer Success and Account Managers, offering personalised assistance, which may surpass Codility’s on-demand support.

Superior developer experience with FaceCode:
Discover the most effortless coding interviews with FaceCode, featuring automated interview summaries, an extensive question library, and code playback for an unparalleled experience.

Smart Browser proctoring:
HackerEarth ensures fair assessments through smart browser proctoring, detecting cheating behaviours like screen sharing or screenshots during tests. This feature enhances test integrity and ensures a secure environment for candidates.

Rich question library:
HackerEarth supports over 50,000 concurrent assessment sessions, significantly surpassing Codility’s capacity of 50 sessions at a time.
