The problem library
Built for product judgment
Match the assessment to the work your team ships. Open-ended business problems give candidates room to exercise product judgment and show what they would build.
Improve the CRM workflow
Stale deals and scattered follow-ups leave sales reps unsure where to focus next.
A sales team uses this CRM to track opportunities and follow up with customers. Inspect the workflow and choose one bounded improvement. Preserve customer records, ownership, history and access rules, including safe handling of irreversible actions. Submit working changes, relevant checks and short decision notes explaining your choice, tradeoffs and what you would measure next.
Preserve records, ownership, history and safe actions.
Assess the decisions behind the build
Review the submitted code, checks and decision notes to evaluate how the candidate works.
CodeSubmit's proprietary scoring guidance helps your team evaluate how candidates direct coding agents, inspect generated code, and verify their changes.
Product judgment
They identify a useful problem, explain why it matters and choose a realistic scope.
Engineering quality
The change fits the app, handles errors and preserves the behavior other people rely on.
Agent use and ownership
Discuss how they steered the agent, edited directly and verified the code they stand behind.
Validation
Look for relevant checks, known limits and what still needs measurement beyond passing tests.
Assessing builders
Which coding agents can candidates use?
Your team configures which coding agents are available for an assessment, such as CodePair Agent, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, pi, opencode, and Antigravity. Candidates can also edit code directly, so you can see how they combine agent assistance with their own edits.
Does every candidate build the same thing?
They start from the same app and business problem, but choose their own improvement. Use shared review criteria to assess the choice, implementation and checks, then discuss their decisions.
What does our team review?
Use the decision notes to understand the candidate’s priorities and tradeoffs before the discussion. Then inspect the change together and ask them to explain how they used the agent, what they verified and what remains.
How are coding-agent token budgets allocated?
Every candidate receives the same allocated token allowance for the assessment. Candidates work within that allowance across the coding agents enabled for the task.
