== History ==

Coderbyte was founded in 2012 by Daniel Borowski while he was a student in college. It was originally designed for developers to "take coding challenges online and then prepare for technical interviews"<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EFNpNbTymg |title=Daniel Borowski - Leveling up your Interview Skills with Coderbyte - Codeland 2020 |date=2021-01-14 |last=CodeNewbie |access-date=2025-06-15 |via=YouTube}}</ref> and grew to 10,000 signups monthly. The site offers more than 2,000 challenges in 30 coding languages across front-end coding, back-end coding, and data science.<ref>{{Cite web |last=School |first=Flatiron |date=2025-05-15 |title=Coding Practice for Beginners: Top Websites in 2024 |url=https://flatironschool.com/blog/best-websites-to-practice-coding-for-beginners/ |access-date=2025-06-16 |website=Flatiron School |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2019 the company began offering services for employers, and claimed that more than 1,000 organizations had become customers within two years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Borowski |first=Daniel |date=2024-05-01 |title=Coderbyte’sCoderbyte's journey to 1,000 customers |url=https://medium.com/coderbyte/coderbytes-journey-to-1-000-customers-566ab62b3445 |access-date=2025-06-15 |website=Tech x Talent |language=en}}</ref> As of 2025, the company offered software for take-home assessments, live interviews, workforce upskilling, and personality tests.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Coderbyte {{!}} Evaluate candidates quickly, affordably, and accurately. |url=https://coderbyte.com/organizations |access-date=2025-06-15 |website=coderbyte.com}}</ref>

The company has never raised venture capital or funding.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Coderbyte - Crunchbase Company Profile & Funding |url=https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/coderbyte |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Crunchbase |language=en}}</ref>

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>

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 |url-status=live |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>
