What is Developer Screening?

Accurately Challenge a Candidate's Knowledge With Live Coding Tasks

Developer screening is simply the pre-hiring vetting of software developers against their employability using an online coding test and real-world project. Developer screening helps recruiters identify best-fit candidates before the actual job interview.

Challenges in Developer Screening without WeCP

Developers recruitment is filled with challenges like tech talent shortage, increasing competition in the talent market, continuously evolving technologies etc. But developer screening is the most persistent challenge in technical hiring. From creation to evaluation, developers assessment needs technical expertise at every step.

Evaluating multiple skills in one screening

For example, when assessing a MEAN Developer you have to look for skills like Angular, MongoDB, ExpressJS, Node.js, etc. An expert in all these skills will be required to create a high-quality assessment. Non-tech recruiters usually take their engineering teams bandwidth who are already occupied with their respective tasks.

Improve candidate participation, and experience

Creating the programming assessment framework

It is a tedious task to create a framework for distributing weightage and scoring different elements of a developer’s skill. Recruiters, hiring managers and the in-house developer’s team all need to sit together to create a skill-based screening framework for existing as well as future developer roles.

Set test duration

Manually screening one developer at a time

Since a developers role is highly skill-based, manual tech screening is not a good option, it’s time-consuming and prone to errors. You need a screening technology capable of scoring multiple metrics in bulk or you will be at high risk of losing top tech talent to a faster screening process.

Improve candidate participation, and experience

Ensuring the reliability of screening results

If you give developers a take-home coding project, you never know if they cheat or had someone else do it for them. Such developers are a bad fit for urgent tasks as they don’t have hands-on expertise. Without a screening tool that can verify and proctor the developers, the results are unreliable.
