Use SimuCode Hire when the candidate faces a running robot. Use Mercer Mettl or Codility when the screen is a quiz or a language exercise.
| SimuCode Hire | A coding test | |
|---|---|---|
| The candidate faces | A robot that is wrong, with no error | A question and a test harness |
| You see | What they probe first, and whether the robot recovers | Whether the tests passed |
| Setup | A link in the browser | Their laptop, or a coding box |
SimuCode Hire is the wrong tool when you are hiring a general software engineer and the robot is not the job.
