Probably not. Better question, since you're basically in the recruiter space with this idea would an employer pay to use a "can you code" website? And aren't you already competing with the bazillion unofficial 'can you code' sites out there like hackerrank?
- lifeisstillgood 10y agoHackerrank seems to be same as codility - I apply for ten jobs I get to do ten different code tests. Not one and then the companies all look at it and go "ok" I was not planning to make this site - was just intellectually curious as to why, despite we always saying "the software engineer has the whip hand" we end up with business models where we the applicant are expected to sacrifice hours and hours for a shot at an interview. The cause seems to be "because employers pay" and "applicants don't" but it's interesting enough to ask why we don't pay. (Personally I think people will get enthusiastic about one opportunity early on in the search and do one code test and then ... Be ever more reluctant to do another test.
- regazzo213 10y agoHackerRank actually has a jobs app now that lets you complete one application and then all of their customers get to review that ONE application and you get offered from them-pretty much what you're describing.
- brudgers 10y agoI think this is spot on. The value of a service related to employment comes from employment and generally employment services which collect money from jobseekers have incentives that poorly align with the job seeker's incentives, for example more revenue the harder it is for a jobseeker to get a job.
