Byteboard Alternatives And Competitors

 

Built by former Google engineers, Byteboard aims to rethink the traditional coding interview to be more unbiased and candidate-friendly (somewhat ironic since Google is the company that notoriously made interviews into intimidating riddles in the first place). By conducting the interview process end-to-end and providing a recommendation to your engineering team, Byteboard controls the experience to ensure consistency. Because it’s a full-service offering, it’s many times more expensive than self-service platforms, but venture-backed cash-rich startups in Silicon Valley will appreciate the time savings.

Pros

  • Technical evaluations: Byteboard maintains a roster of vetted engineers and calibrated questions to conduct the interviews on your behalf.
  • Ease-of-use: In theory you can completely offload the technical interview process to Byteboard and you’ll get a robust report and recommendation to inform your candidate evaluation.

Cons

  • Limited languages: Back-end interviews can only be conducted in Java, Python, Ruby, C++, C#, node.js, Go, and PHP and front-end interviews are limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
  • Limited question set: Interviews must use one of Byteboard’s questions for the interview. You cannot use a custom interview question designed to match your day-to-day project requirements.
  • Lack of control: You offload the entire interview process to Byteboard and must trust their engineers, questions, and recommendations.
  • Expect to spend at least $25,000+/year if you’re doing even a moderate amount of hiring.
