CodeSession is a technical interview platform that enables teams to conduct real-time, collaborative coding sessions with candidates in a browser-based environment. It is developer hiring software designed to help engineering and recruiting teams evaluate technical talent through practical, hands-on problem solving, not algorithm drills or leet code challenges. CodeSession is ideal for teams that value communication, collaboration, and coding in context.
CodeSession was built to mimic how real developers work: writing, discussing, and iterating on code together. The platform supports more than 40 programming languages and includes developer-friendly features like syntax highlighting and real-time cursor tracking. Unlike automated coding test platforms, CodeSession facilitates live pair programming and two-way interaction, making it easier to assess not just code quality but also communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
CodeSession is well-suited for companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups to large engineering organizations. It’s commonly used by hiring managers, engineers, and technical recruiters conducting live interviews for software engineers, front-end and back-end developers, data engineers, and other technical roles. Teams often use it across various stages of the hiring process, from initial technical screens to final-round panel interviews.
Key features and value highlights:
- Real-time, collaborative coding environment with support for 40+ languages
- Unlimited users included in every plan — no per-seat pricing
- Secure, SSO-enabled access via OpenID Connect (OIDC) on all plans
- Works directly in the browser. No installs, plugins, or candidate accounts required
- Designed for live communication and contextual problem solving in interviews
CodeSession is designed for teams that believe the best way to evaluate developers is to code together - the same way they’ll work together on the job.
