== 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’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>

=== 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>
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>
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>
