How to Create a Live Coding (Interview) Session

The live coding feature allows candidates and interviewers to solve tests simultaneously online. Unlike take-home assignments, this allows for a qualitative assessment of the candidate's communication skills and thought process.

Please note that video calls and chat are also available within HireRoo's live coding feature.
