Talk to any tech company and they will tell you that the hiring of quality programmers is an incredibly difficult task — smaller companies often have a difficult time in front of the best candidates and big and hot "inundated with applications, many of them to sub par.
Interview with street is a new startup funded by Y Combinator, which set out to fix both of these problems — and for the preservation of all participating a lot of time. This service, which goes out of beta today, makes it easy for tech companies to verify applicants ' skills through the puzzles (and this makes it easy for potential applicants to find out who's hiring).
Head to the site and you'll see that it is divided into two sections: one for "challenges" and another for the "Inductee". First feeding for engineers looking to land jobs at companies such as Dropbox, Facebook or Airbnb. Log in and you will be able to take one of the three coding problems that you are going to finish, using a Web-based IDE (you can copy and paste the code into your application if you want). Test Web code supports C, C++, C #, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Haskell, MySQL, and Bash and generates the results immediately.
Click the second tab and you'll be part of the site that directed the recruiters. Here companies can create their own tests, and they can manage their dashboard.
Now coding puzzles on the street interview is pretty standard, but co-founder Vivek Ravisankar said that in the future, the company wants to offer more testing "real" — things like application deployment for ARM or Twitter API integration features of the iPhone about Ravisankar explained that programming puzzles, promising engineers to participate in the process of their implementation is often not applied directly to the role, they would fill and street interviews wants to change this situation.
At the start of the interview Street offers three puzzles to solve, and it will add more in the coming weeks. The site will soon also allowing companies to upload your own Puzzles (for example, Facebook can upload their own puzzles and test cases that all potential candidates would have to go).
Of course many tech companies already offer puzzles for potential claimants. But Ravisankar said that the process of a typical presentation of their clunky, with applicants, attachments that must be manually inspected by a mechanic. Interview Street automates this process. Until the service is already used by major companies, including Facebook and a bevy of Y Combinator alums like Dropbox, Airbnb and Justin.TV.
The service offers 30 day free trial. After that, the plans start at $ 99 per month, with pricing, scale up depending on how much candidates taking test (performance plans also allow you to take advantage of the "live mode" playback, so you can see the thought process/coding and labelling trait white).
Competitors to street interviews include CodeEval (described here) and Gild (described here).
Interviewstreet helps you create customized programming tests (in any language) and the evaluation of candidates on the basis of their programming skills before the interview. We've built ...
