Their software integrations with [[Applicant tracking system|Applicant Tracking Systems]] like [[Workable (software)|Workable]], [[Greenhouse Software|Greenhouse]], and [[iCIMS]], and is available on [[Zapier]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Help Center {{!}} API & Integrations |url=https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/api-integrations |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=help.coderbyte.com |language=en}}</ref>

Coderbyte offers a suite of assessment tools designed to evaluate and improve technical and nontechnical skills.

=== Assessment ===

The company's assessment feature provides standardized, asynchronous tests for coding, spreadsheets, data science, and various other technical and nontechnical skills.<ref name=":0" /> Coderbyte has built numerous features to detect cheating, including screen recording, plagiarism detection, copy and paste detection, tab leaving detection, identity verification, ___location detection, and [[ChatGPT]] usage detection.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cheating prevention and detection |url=https://help.coderbyte.com/knowledge/how-does-plagiarism-detection-work |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=help.coderbyte.com |language=en}}</ref>

Overview

Coderbyte claims to differentiate its platform by prioritizing the candidate experience, rather than optimizing for recruiters.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 20, 2021 |title=How Coderbyte Is Improving the Remote Candidate Experience |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/coderbyte-improving-remote-candidate-experience-202000424.html |website=Yahoo Finance}}</ref> Borowski argues that poor candidate experiences lead to lower assessment completion rates,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gibbons |first=Serenity |title=5 Issues That Prevent Tech Companies From Landing The Best Talent |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/serenitygibbons/2020/07/23/5-issues-that-prevent-tech-companies-from-landing-the-best-talent/ |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref> which ultimately hurts employers.

Addressing concerns about candidates cheating on assessments using [[artificial intelligence]], Coderbyte's Chief Revenue Officer, Nis Frome, warned employers about requiring even more invasive spyware that risks "[sacrificing] great candidate experiences for honest candidates. Odds are that if most of your candidates are cheating, you have a sourcing problem...The solution isn’t to make an authoritarian and tedious experience for all candidates."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wiggers |first=Kyle |date=2022-01-28 |title=Could AI be used to cheat on programming tests? |url=https://venturebeat.com/ai/could-ai-be-used-to-cheat-on-programming-tests/ |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=VentureBeat |language=en-US}}</ref>

Coderbyte also advises employers against creating lengthy and tedious assessments, arguing that they aren't necessary and create adverse outcomes. In an interview, Frome said “The more friction an employer adds into their candidate evaluation process…the more that you realize that the best candidates are just not going to put up with that because the best candidates are going to get other job offers."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Monsanto |first=ByBrianna |title=Software developers are fed up with the recruitment process |url=https://www.itbrew.com/stories/2025/04/16/software-developers-are-fed-up-with-the-recruitment-process |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=IT Brew |language=en-us}}</ref>
