The way companies screen
developers is broken.

🤖

AI writes the code

Candidates paste ChatGPT solutions and score 10/10. You have no idea if they understand what they submitted — until it's too late.

💸

Platforms cost a fortune

HackerRank and CodeSignal charge thousands per year. Most startups and small teams can't justify the spend for a few hires.

🎲

Scores tell you nothing

A perfect test score doesn't reveal thinking ability, communication skills, or how a developer approaches real-world problems.

// how it works

Simple. Fast. Honest.

Four steps from posting a test to making a confident hiring decision.

STEP_01
⚙️

Create a test in minutes

Pick a coding problem, set a time limit, and share a link. No setup required.

STEP_02
💻

Candidate solves the problem

They write code in a browser editor. No installs. Works on any laptop.

STEP_03
🎙️

They explain their solution

A 2-minute recording where they walk through what they built and why. This is where real signal lives.

STEP_04
📊

You see everything, side by side

Code, video, score, paste count — all in one screen. Decide in minutes, not days.

// our philosophy

We don't try to block AI.
We make it irrelevant.

When a candidate has to explain their own code on camera, AI assistance stops mattering. Either they understand what they submitted — or the video makes it immediately obvious they don't. No surveillance. No gimmicks. Just signal.

✓ No webcam surveillance
✓ No AI detection snake oil
✓ No false accusations
✓ Just honest signal
// features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

⬜

Code + Video, Side by Side

See the solution and the explanation simultaneously on one screen. Pause, rewind, compare — without switching tabs.

📋

Paste & Tab Signal

Know if code appeared in one paste or was typed progressively. Raw data shown to recruiters — no accusations, just transparency.

⚡

Instant Auto-Grading

Test cases run automatically. Scores calculated the moment a candidate submits. You review humans, not outputs.

🔗

Share a Link, Done

Candidates get a link. No account creation, no app install, no friction. Just open and start. Completion rates stay high.

🌐

Multi-Language Support

Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, and more. Covers 90% of engineering roles without extra setup.

📁

Shareable Results

One link to share a candidate's full result with your hiring team. No logins required to view.

// who it's for

Built for teams that move fast.

You don't need an enterprise procurement cycle to screen developers properly.

Common Questions

How does SkillDock prevent AI cheating in coding tests? +
SkillDock doesn't try to block AI tools — that's a losing battle. Instead, after submitting code, candidates record a 2-minute video explaining their solution. If they used AI without understanding it, the video reveals that instantly. We also surface paste count and tab switch data so recruiters have full context.
Is SkillDock a cheaper alternative to HackerRank and CodeSignal? +
Yes. Enterprise platforms like HackerRank typically cost $10,000–$25,000 per year. SkillDock is designed for startups and small teams who need reliable technical screening at a fraction of the cost.
Do candidates need to install anything? +
No. Candidates receive a secure link, open it in any browser, and start the coding assessment immediately. No account creation, no software installation required.
What programming languages are supported? +
SkillDock supports Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, Ruby, and more — covering over 90% of engineering role requirements out of the box.
When is SkillDock launching? +
