AI has changed the work in engineering and in every business function, and organizations need a reliable, fair, and auditable read on who can build software and who can deliver real work with AI in the loop. Codility provides that signal across candidates and the teams you already employ. Methodology you can defend Every Codility assessment is designed by occupational psychologists and mapped to the Codility Engineering Skills Model, which covers 30 skills and 180 subskills across five categories, maps to SWEBOK v4, SFIA v9, and O\*NET, and is validated by engineering leaders. A technical manual structured to APA standards documents how scores are produced, and adverse impact is monitored at every measured cut score. When someone asks how a result was reached, you have the answer. Technical screening at scale Screen candidates with real work simulations drawn from 1,300+ tasks across 80+ programming languages and frameworks, including Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, C\#, Go, SQL, React, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Task types span real-life project work, algorithmic problems, coding, SQL, and multiple choice. Automatic scoring on selected tasks gives every candidate the same objective measure and shortlists strong engineers faster. Structured technical interviews Run live coding interviews in a real shared VS Code environment with terminal, sidecar services, a whiteboard, and a full transcript. Structured rubrics and pair programming help every interviewer evaluate the same way, so senior and high-stakes hires get a fair, repeatable read. Advanced AI capabilities Codility assesses how people work with AI, and uses AI to run the assessment program. AI-native tasks embed an AI assistant in the work itself, including tasks where the assistant makes deliberately seeded mistakes the candidate has to catch and correct, surfacing judgment about AI output. An AI Copilot runs inside the VS Code environment. The in-assessment AI Assistant is enabled or disabled per assessment, and every candidate interaction is captured as reviewable AI activity. AI Follow-Up Questions check whether a candidate understands the code they submitted, and are deliberately not scored to avoid introducing bias. AI skills assessment for business roles AI for Business extends the same methodology beyond engineering. Candidates and employees in marketing, sales, finance, operations, customer support, and product roles complete real work simulations alongside the AI Assistant, producing a real deliverable that is scored deterministically against an answer space defined by experts, so no AI grades AI. General tasks run for any employee in any function, giving organizations a verified AI skills baseline across the whole workforce. Skills Intelligence for the teams you have Assess the technical skills of your existing engineers on the same methodology you use to hire. Surface skills gaps, compare proficiency across teams, and guide staffing, internal mobility, and targeted training. Fairness, integrity, and trust Codility meets the EEOC four-fifths threshold at every measured cut score, and a cApStAn linguistic audit supports fairness for non-native English speakers. Layered integrity controls and deterministic risk scoring give you reviewable evidence and human accountability, and an explicit EU AI Act posture means no AI or machine learning makes automated hiring decisions. Enterprise-ready Codility integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SmartRecruiters, and 80+ ATS and HRIS systems, with SSO via SAML 2.0 and API access. It meets SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and WCAG 2.2 AA requirements. One evaluation model, from external candidate to internal teams, with the evidence to defend every decision. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 43 users.

One of Codility's key advantages is that it enables employers to quickly and effectively assess the coding abilities of numerous job applicants. Candidates can work at their own pace through the online coding tasks on the user-friendly website.As a developer, I use Codility to assess my coding abilities and learn new programming paradigms in the process. > > **Cons**: Some of the things which I would like them to work on is an offline mode. The complete dependence on the internet may limit some users from enjoying its features. They should also make it such that tests are optionally timed, many times, developers are not able to complete the tasks within the short timeframe. > > Codility has helped me improve my skills as a developer and as an employer, I use Codility to frequently keep my staff sharp on the job by frequently testing their capabilities. ----- ### "Strong Coding Tests, Narrower Assessment Scope" — 5.0/5 > **Manshuk** | *27 May 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Codility’s coding environment is clean and responsive, with real-time code evaluation that helped us see candidate skill levels instantly. Their problem library is solid for common programming languages, and setup was straightforward thanks to clear documentation. > > **Cons**: As a tech assessment tools, their non-technical assessment options (like cognitive, analytical, culture-fit or personality tests) are limited or non-existent. We also needed deeper integrations with our ATS, which aren’t quite as polished yet. > > We evaluated Codility alongside Predictive Index and another technical testing platform. While Codility impressed us with its intuitive code editor and reliable auto-grading, it lacked the broader suite of behavioral assessments we required. Their team was friendly and supportive throughout our trial, but ultimately we chose Predictive Index for its all-around talent insights and another vendor for deeper coding assignments. I can't disclose the name of the competitor. ----- ### "Not an adequate test for most engineering roles." — 2.0/5 > **Mark** | *29 May 2020* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is deployable and easier for HR who don't understand code themselves. The ability to compare to other programmers' skills is nifty. > > **Cons**: Many of the problems are not completely presented (I.E. there are other factors that are not mentioned which would influence the code, so applicants who submit overly-thorough code will actually fail because the machine didn't like their answer.. it is a guessing game) 20 minute time limits to solve an algorithm problem are NEVER the case in real life. Programmers do not work off memory, they work off documentation-- codility does not test on use of frameworks or libraries, only math concepts. The IDE is limited, will delete the applicant's code if they switch languages momentarily. > > If you use it, I would suggest the live-code feature where you screenshare and watch the applicant solve one larger problem, preferably one that relates to the job at hand rather than a mensa puzzle. Make sure to review the failing submissions because in many cases, they had it right, but the machine graded them wrong, this could be for many reasons including the structure of the training set they were given was different from that of the testing data. Over half of what our engineers do is debug, interpret existing code, and build infrastructure. None of these things are tested with Codility. If they do pass, they are proficient in at least one element of the job, but not necessarily the rest. I interview any applicant who passes with 30% and always look at their code even if it failed. ----- ### "Codility’s Strengths and Areas for Improvement" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I recently attempted Codility. Honestly, I would say it was some mix of both challenge and insight. The platform is quite well designed with a smooth interface to coding, clear problem statements, and real-time feedback about performance. > > **Cons**: Probably, one of the issues with Codility is that the tests can sometimes appear a little too edged on the edge cases. I think it might be frustrating for developers more accustomed to solving practical, everyday problems. In some cases, very severe time limitations and scoring systems really add unnecessary stress on candidates. Instead of exploring creative solutions, candidates focus more on trying to get a qualifying score. > > Codility helps bridge the challenge of assessing coding skills on objective and efficient grounds. For me, it's like a mentor, which initiates you to first of all think as a software engineer would, maximize your codes, and be considerate of the edge cases in real-world conditions. Providing problems that are similar to those you might encounter in a job interview or while trying to solve especially complex coding problems on the job makes the process of preparing for technical interviews much easier. ----- ### "My Codility" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's easy of use and I can reach evey old questions easily because questions listed near by near. And I can connect to start time for taking my test again if time is already expired. And resolving time period for every test questions is long, in 1-2 month every body can connect and resolve problem and earn certificate for every resolving problems. > > **Cons**: For every problems I trying use my computer idea before adding my code to Codility because it apsent idea feature, ex. autocomplete. And I do my test cases by myself(It's a bit takes time ) in my idea. I would like Codility before give the several tests cases which users can copy to add their idea. > > First time I used Codility 8-9 month ago in my interview. It was Microsoft interview. Scince that time I some times I join Codility and interested Codility questions. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92047/codility?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/92047/codility) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
