Code tests are ingenious tools designed to help you discover the crème de la crème of coding talent, ensuring that your next hire is not only proficient in their craft but also able to look at problems critically while adhering to best practices.  

At their core, they are a curated collection of problems and exercises to measure a candidate’s coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and knowledge of specific programming languages and tools.  

They also come in various forms, from online coding challenges to whiteboard interviews to fully simulated real-world projects (like Codeaid, of course), and can cover a wide array of topics, including data structures, algorithms, and various other software design principles. 

Coding assessments have emerged as an essential hiring tool that empowers organizations to identify top-tier talent in the vast ocean of aspiring programmers. By providing a fair, objective, and quantifiable measure of an individual’s technical abilities, these assessments enable recruiters to streamline the hiring process, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates progress to the interview stage. This not only saves precious time but also helps resources focus on the work they do best. 

These coding assessments also offer the opportunity for candidates to showcase their problem-solving prowess, creativity, and adaptability in real-world scenarios. These qualities are paramount in the ever-changing technological landscape, as they signify the potential for innovation and growth. 

In a world brimming with code testing platforms, Codeaid breaks the traditional code testing mold by providing an exceptional, realistic environment that simulates real-world development scenarios. This unique approach allows candidates to fully immerse themselves in the same workflow and environment that developers use daily, offering a more accurate assessment of their skills and adaptability.  

And because Codeaid sports the most granular scoring algorithm on the market to date, it enables employers to gain a deeper understanding of a candidate’s ability to navigate the intricacies of real-world software development, showcasing their problem-solving prowess and technical expertise. 

Subscription invites are provided on a monthly basis, with a specific number of invites allotted for each month. These invites have an expiration date, meaning they must be used within the month they are allocated. When a new month begins, the invite count resets, and users receive their allocated invites for that month.

Invite Credit Packs are additional invites users can purchase when they need more invites than their subscription plan provides. 

No, once the candidate starts the challenge, the invitation is consumed and cannot be reclaimed or reused. 

If the candidate does not start the challenge and it is cancelled or expired, the invitation is then reclaimed and can be reused for inviting another candidate.

However, in the case of subscription invitations, the cancellation or expiration of the challenge needs to be within the same month that it was sent to be able to be reclaimed.

If the invitation is sent during one calendar month, but the candidate doesn’t start the challenge, and the challenge expires or gets cancelled in a different month, the invitation will not be reclaimed and will be forfeited. 

No, these invites do not expire and can be used regardless of the current month. 

For example, if the invitation is sent during one month, but the candidate doesn’t start the challenge, and the challenge expires or gets cancelled in a different month, the invitation will be reclaimed and can be reused for inviting another candidate. 

Note: Should you decide to fully deactivate your Codeaid account, any credit packs will be lost and cannot be restored if the account is reactivated at a later stage.  
 
You will be able to maintain your credit packs, should you decide to downgrade your Team plan to the Free plan. However, when upgrading to the Enterprise plan, credit packs will be lost as Enterprise plan members receive unlimited invites per month.
