About Practical Assignments

As of August 12, 2025, we have released a new question format called "Practical Assignment." This article explains the background and features of introducing the practical assignment format.

Background of the Release

With the spread of generative AI, it has become difficult to accurately assess candidates' true abilities with traditional online tests alone. This format adopts an environment closer to real-world work, enabling highly reproducible skill evaluation even in the age of AI.

By using this format in conjunction with coding and system design problems, it becomes possible to grasp not only the ability to write code but also the comprehensive skills necessary for team development.

What is the Practical Assignment Format?

Unlike HireRoo's browser-only formats, the practical assignment format allows problems to be solved in a way that is closer to real-world work. It envisions practical application development using web frameworks, rather than just algorithm implementation.

Flow of Taking the Exam

Candidates clone the provided repository.
They modify and add code to meet the functional requirements specified in the problem statement.
After completing the implementation, they create a pull request on GitHub to submit.

Evaluation Mechanism

The practical assignment format combines quantitative scores with qualitative AI feedback for evaluation.

1. Quantitative Evaluation (3 metrics)

Evaluation is scored based on the following three metrics:

① Coding ability
② Team development ability
③ Requirement fulfillment ability

2. Qualitative Evaluation (AI Comments)

Using a comment function powered by generative AI, "elements difficult to quantify" such as the following items are also evaluated. It is possible to provide feedback similar to a human review.

Code design intent
Readability
Maintainability
