Stop testing memorization. ShipYard lets candidates build fullstack applications with AI assistance — so you can evaluate how they actually work, think, and ship.
One evaluation mode that reflects how engineers actually ship today.
Candidates build a real fullstack app from scratch. See architecture choices, debugging skills, and shipping speed — not algorithm trivia.
Candidates code with an AI assistant, just like they would at work. Evaluate how they prompt, iterate, and critically evaluate AI output.
Every interaction — code changes, AI prompts, debugging steps — is captured. Understand how candidates think, not just what they produce.
Evaluate product thinking, system design, and practical problem solving — the skills that actually matter on the job.
Three steps from challenge to insight.
Set up a live coding round in seconds. Define the challenge, invite the candidate, and you're ready to go.
They build a real app in a cloud IDE with an AI assistant. You see how they think, prompt, debug, and ship — the full process.
Review the candidate's code, AI interactions, and development approach. See exactly how they work — not just the final output.
Features designed around how you actually hire.
WebSocket-powered live coding with instant sync. Watch candidates work in real-time or review completed sessions.
Candidates interact with an AI coding assistant. Every prompt and response is captured — the conversation is the signal.
Isolated, fully-provisioned IDE environments spin up instantly for each round. No local setup required for candidates.
Set duration, language, and challenge details. Tailor each round to match the role and your team's priorities.
Review every keystroke, AI prompt, and debugging decision. Understand the full development timeline, not just the final code.
