Overview
Codility is technical assessment software for engineering hiring. Screen sends coding, SQL, multiple-choice and AI-skill tasks, and Interview runs live technical interviews. The library uses engineering work simulations, and leaked tasks are removed. Plagiarism detection, proctoring snapshots and an AI Copilot with reviewable activity come on every plan. Custom adds Skills Intelligence for mapping the skills of your current workforce.
Teams pick Codility when they want realistic engineering tasks rather than puzzle questions. Starter is $1,200 a year for 120 invites and one user. Scale is $6,000 a year for 300 invites and three users, and adds custom tasks built with MCP from your IDE. Custom is quote-based and adds integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and SAP, plus SSO and full API access.
