Frequently asked questions
What CodersFirst do?
We deliver technically assessed Software Engineers ready for your On-site Final Interview. We want to lower the cost of interviewing and increase significantly the quality and diversity of the candidates.
How does the screening process looks like?
Every programmer needs to pass our adaptive online part of evaluation which takes around 1 hour and then take part in the structured Technical Interview with one of our trained Technical Interviewer (Senior Software Engineers) (~2 hour).
During our Interview we do a live-coding part and we go deep into Software Engineering topics like web systems, low-level programming or system design and architecture. We have a multidimensional scoring system that allows us to evaluate candidates objectively.
Thanks to our standardized and background-blind process we are able to introduce you to high quality Software Engineers with significantly reduced BIAS.
We’ve been working on this hiring process for the last 3 years, experimenting on different approaches and applying scientific achievements which results in set of questions, scenarios and well-defined scoring systems.
Hiring process is our core so we still measure and improve this process and will never stop.

What is the CodersFirst score?
To objectively score candidate's responses and translate his/her answers to employers' needs we developed and structured a multidimensional approach using both principles of adaptive testing to estimate programmers' skills and behaviorally anchored rating scale. The results provide us with a prediction how likely a candidate is to pass your on-site interview.
