Online coding test for hiring that scores real ability
Most online coding tests hand you a green checkmark and nothing else, which tells you a candidate passed some hidden test cases but not whether they can actually engineer. An online coding test for hiring should explain its verdict. SkillJudge runs a realistic challenge and scores the submission against a rubric you can read.
Instead of a pass-fail, you get a scorecard: an overall grade and per-skill sub-scores for correctness, code quality, edge cases and communication on a red to amber to green scale, each one linked to the lines and tests behind it. The AI scores, you decide, and candidates land on a ranked shortlist so the strongest engineers are already at the top.

Why it works
What you get with online coding test
Beyond pass-fail
A scorecard with per-skill sub-scores replaces the bare green checkmark, so you learn how a candidate codes, not just that the tests passed.
Evidence you can read
Each sub-score links to the exact lines and tests behind it, so the grade is transparent and defensible to your hiring team.
A ranked shortlist
Overall grades roll into a ranked list, so the strongest engineers surface first and weaker submissions are easy to set aside.
