Interview Zen streamlines technical interviews in three simple steps: 1) Create custom coding challenges and questions for your interview, 2) Invite candidates with a secure interview link that monitors their coding in real-time, 3) Review comprehensive analytics including typing patterns, solution quality, and problem-solving approach to make informed hiring decisions.
Create any type of coding challenge including algorithmic problems, system design questions, debugging exercises, and language-specific tasks. Choose from multiple programming languages, set custom time limits, and define specific evaluation criteria. The more diverse your question set, the better you'll assess candidate capabilities.
Interview setup typically takes 5-10 minutes. Create your questions, configure monitoring settings, and generate a secure candidate link. You'll receive notifications when candidates begin their interviews, and real-time monitoring starts immediately.
Once your interview is live, access the real-time dashboard to monitor candidates as they code. Watch their typing patterns, see their thought process, and track their progress through problems. You can observe multiple candidates simultaneously and receive instant alerts for concerning behavior.
We support all major programming languages including Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, Go, Ruby, and many more. Candidates can write code in their preferred language, and our system provides appropriate syntax highlighting and compilation support for real-time assessment.
