The change is inevitable. Over the last few decades we have noticed that there has been some major changes in what and how people do things. There has been a race in developing products that work fast and efficiently. The pace at which new technologies comes into existence has really put everyone into an alert mode. The only option left for you is to either evolve with the latest technologies or become obsolete thereafter.
Apple’s decision to make it’s very own programming language Swift has opened doors for many developers who look to grow with the evolving technologies. It will definitely have an impact in the coming years.
Companies still assess their prospective candidates on skills that don’t even matter for the positions they are applying for. Ex. If you are looking to hire a developer and give him a coding test who has never done an algorithm based programming. Can you judge him? No, not at this point because he was fit for the role but not fit for your assessment. What does it implicate? You can lose a candidate without even knowing his potential ever.
These were some critical issues prevailing in industry that led to making of DoSelect. Recruiters now need flexibility to test on various skills and technology. With our Application based test, it becomes pretty simple to know about candidates hands-on skill which gets hidden during a simple algorithm test. You can give them problems based on your creativity like for ex. create a sample login and logout that uses Google oath for authentication.
Now that we are talking, i want to show you how it works.
Once you give an application based problem to a candidate. He/she gets a cloud IDE specially baked with framework’s template you want to test them upon. It requires no setup on either side and is hassle free. He can code online and use the terminal which has sudo access which means he is free to install and download anything on the system or OS. A recruiter can see the running demo/live preview of the code. But wait a minute, who deployed it? While candidate had clicked “submit” button, we deployed it for them automatically. No problem! Browse the code directories, check the logs of code and functionalities and review them to your team.
