Prepare a live interview in CodePair

Prepare a live interview in CodePair

CodePair is built for live technical interviews where the work should look closer to the real job. The environment is designed for shared coding, discussion, and hands-on problem solving rather than trivia or toy editors.

What the live environment supports

• A shared IDE for real-time collaboration
• Terminal access for running commands, tests, and application tooling
• Git workflows for working through changes inside the session
• Live application support for frontends, APIs, and multi-service setups
• Optional AI-assisted workflows when your team wants to evaluate modern working habits directly

When CodePair is the right choice

• You want to watch how a candidate communicates and reasons through ambiguity
• You care about debugging, tradeoffs, or collaboration more than memorized answers
• You want the interview to resemble the stack the role actually depends on

Prep checklist for hiring teams

1. Choose a starter pack or custom CodePair template that matches the role.
2. Confirm the session goal: collaboration, debugging, architecture, or delivery.
3. Align interviewers on whether AI assistance is allowed and how it will be discussed.
4. Run a dry pass if the environment is new to your team.
