Why teams switch to CareerLink
Traditional tests measure your ability to remember algorithms from a textbook. CareerLink measures your ability to build production software.
86% completion rate
Candidates finish what they start thanks to a conversational flow that feels human, not robotic.
Scenario-based
Real-world problems, not trivia. We test architectural decisions and debugging, which can't be googled.
30-minute format
Respect candidate time. Our 30-min session gathers more signal than a 90-min HackerRank test.
Adaptive follow-ups
Ada drills deeper when responses are vague, exactly like a human interviewer would.
Built for engineering hiring
Not generic tech quizzes.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a test take?
30 minutes on average. Candidates can pause and resume once to ensure we accommodate real-life interruptions while maintaining assessment integrity.
Can candidates cheat?
We detect ChatGPT paste-through patterns, tab switches, and webcam presence. Our adaptive follow-ups also catch rehearsed answers by asking for clarification on specific implementation details.
Do I need to set it up myself?
No. Pick a template (Frontend, Backend, Data, Fullstack), invite candidates, and you're done. Total setup is usually under 5 minutes.
What languages and roles do you cover?
JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, SQL, and system design — across junior to senior levels. We add support for new tech stacks monthly.
How is this different from HackerRank?
We use a conversational AI interviewer (Ada) instead of a static test. This leads to higher completion rates, less candidate drop-off, and scenario-based questions that accurately reflect daily work.
