The open-source platform for technical hiring.
Live coding interviews, auto-graded assessments, and take-homes — in one place you can actually host yourself.

Hiring engineers is hard, and the tools don't help. Most interview platforms are closed boxes. You can't see how they run candidate code, you can't change them to fit how you work, and you end up using one tool for live interviews, another for take-homes, and a spreadsheet to track it all.
We wanted one platform that does all of it: live interviews, async screening, and take-homes. One that runs candidate code out in the open, and that you can read, fork, and host yourself. So we built CoderScreen and made it open source.
If you've ever spent a night reading half-finished take-homes, or sat through an hour-long interview with someone who couldn't get past FizzBuzz, this is for you.
A live editor candidates actually like. Everyone codes in the same editor in real time, with live cursors. Candidates just click a link to join. No accounts, no downloads, no "can you share your screen?"
Code that actually runs. Run code in a secure sandbox and see the output right away: stdout, stderr, and exit codes. It works with 20+ languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, and C++. Multi-file projects work too, and you get live browser previews for React, Vue, and Svelte.
Screening that grades itself. Build a coding test once and send candidates a link. Results come back scored automatically. Pull questions from a shared library, make the hard ones worth more, and get one clear score per candidate. No rubrics to argue over.
See how they think. Replay every keystroke to see how a candidate got to their answer, not just where they ended up. AI is part of real work now, so you can also watch how they prompt and iterate with the built-in assistant.
Make it yours. Add your logo and colors, then track your hiring metrics to see where things slow down.
