Assessment results you can rely on
Comprehensive assessment for all your candidates:
- Automated tests to ensure they can code.
- Code review scorecards to help unveil their fundamental understanding within the target competence.
GitHub-powered workflow
A real-world simulation of how developers work day-to-day:
- Candidates work on private GitHub repositories.
- Automated tests run on a GitHub Actions pipeline on every push.
- Candidates and interviewers collaborate on a Pull Request with the submitted solution.
Integrates with your ATS
DevSkills enabled us to automate our interview process and scale it from 10s of candidates to 100s of candidates, while still keeping it grounded in solving real-world, practical problems.
I very much like the core concept of Devskills - making the hiring process for engineers more like the actual day-to-day life, rather than some kind of theoretical review. The cases are well thought-through and map right to what our engineers do in their job.
With DevSkills, we saved many hours setting up our tech interview process as it provided us with an out-of-the-box coding test solution that integrated seamlessly with our existing setup.
It just works. Takes away manual pain in the tech-review-process.
Frequently asked questions
- What's unique about DevSkills?
- DevSkills excels when you need to assess the real-world engineering skills of your candidates. It's the right choice if:
- You want to assess the practical engineering competence within the target profile and not the specific programming language or framework details.
- You want to evaluate if your candidates can use Git and follow a real-world developer workflow.
- You don't want to spend your time creating and calibrating coding tests and code review scorecards from scratch.
- Can I integrate DevSkills with my ATS?
- We support integrations like Teamtailor, Greenhouse, and Lever. Give us a shout at support@devskills.co to double-check if we support your ATS.
- How can I try out DevSkills before buying?
- By starting a 7-day free trial.
- How extensive is your coding test library?
- Our library includes various coding challenges that allow you to assess developers for Backend, Frontend, Fullstack, Mobile, and Data competencies, across Junior, Mid-level, and Senior levels. See more details.
Whenever a hiring team can't find a challenge that fits them, we always provide a new one customized to their needs. - What happens if I reach my monthly coding test quota?
- Once you’ve reached your monthly candidate quota, you will the option to invite additional candidates at a rate of €15 per coding test. You will be charged for overage candidates at the beginning of your next billing cycle.
- Is it possible to upload my own challenges to DevSkills to leverage your GitHub-based infrastructure for inviting our candidates?
- Absolutely! Either upload a custom challenge or extend one from the DevSkills library (e.g., custom boilerplate or specific acceptance criteria). Here's how.
- Do you provide refunds?
- Not at the moment. That is because we have a royalty agreement with our contributing challenge authors that we must fulfill whenever their coding tests are used outside of free trials.

Founder's note
Hi there. I'm Anton. Over a few years, I had the chance to work for a company undergoing massive growth. To accommodate such a change, we needed to hire a lot of developers.
The challenge we were facing was making sure the people we were hiring could do the required job.
As we were working on defining our developer hiring processes, we identified two primary questions to answer:
- How can we make sure that someone has practical tech competence?
- How can we minimize the effort required to figure it out?
After many failed attempts and process iterations, we did get closer to the state we wanted to reach.
But frankly speaking, we could have saved a lot of time had we been aware of the lessons we'd learned along the way.
That's why we built DevSkills — to give any engineering team (like yours) a leg-up against the dev hiring competition that's growing by the day.
I’d love for you to give DevSkills a try and see the difference the right tools can make.
Sincerely,
Anton Fenske
Founder of DevSkills
