In this blog we’ll look at the challenges in assessing programming skills and how the right coding assessments can address those challenges.
What are some of the challenges in traditional hiring while evaluating coding skills?
- Lack of Real-world Context: Theoretical and scripted questions don’t measure candidate’s true problem solving capabilities, failing to reflect coding skills in real world problem statements.
- Subjectivity Bias: Interviewers bringing in their biases leads to unfair judgement.
- Performance Anxiety: Traditional face-to-face or whiteboard coding tests can make candidates nervous hindering their true capabilities.
Coding assessments when done right, evaluates the skills that helps in differentiating a good programmer to a great programmer. Apart from evaluating the ability to code in a certain syntax, some of the cognitive skills such as problem solving, algorithmic thinking and technical aspects of code quality and time management also play a crucial role to be an efficient programmer.
