Watch candidates write and run real code, talk through their approach on video, and replay the whole session later. Editor, compiler, video and proctoring sit in one browser tab.
A live coding interview on GetHirePlus is a real-time technical interview held in a shared code editor. The candidate writes code in one of 8+ languages, runs it in the browser and explains their approach on video. Every keystroke is recorded for playback, and an AI-drafted scorecard is ready for the interviewer to review and adjust.
The parts of a coding interview that usually need three tools: an editor, a compiler and a call.
Interviewer and candidate type in the same file and see each other's changes as they happen. Syntax highlighting and auto-indent work out of the box.
Candidates execute their code inside the interview. Output, errors and test results show up in the same window, so nobody pastes code into a local terminal.
The recording keeps video, audio and the full code history. Scrub through the timeline to see where a candidate hesitated, refactored or added a test.
Switch to the whiteboard to sketch architecture, data models or request flows together, then go back to the editor to implement one piece of it.
Tab switches, window focus changes and paste events are logged with timestamps. Large pastes are marked on the playback timeline.
After the session, GetHirePlus drafts a scorecard covering code quality, problem-solving approach and communication. The interviewer edits it before anyone else sees it.
The editor supports 8+ programming languages with syntax highlighting and live execution. Choose one when you create the interview, or let the candidate pick.
Set up the problem once. The room, the recording and the write-up are handled for you.
Pick the language and the problem set, or leave it open-ended, and send the candidate a join link. They do not need an account.
The candidate opens the link, allows camera and mic, and lands in the room with the editor, video and instructions on one screen. Nothing to install.
You co-edit in real time while the candidate runs their solution and sees output immediately. A private notes panel sits next to the shared editor.
The recording, code history and AI-drafted scorecard are saved to the candidate's profile in the GetHirePlus applicant tracking system, where the hiring team can comment and decide.
A pasted solution looks very different on a playback timeline from one typed, run, broken and fixed. Proctoring runs in the background and flags events for a person to review. It does not reject anyone on its own. For more on this, read our guide on stopping candidates from cheating with AI in interviews.
Most teams put a live coding round after an automated filter. AI resume screening ranks applicants, a take-home coding assessment tests the basics at volume, and the live round confirms the candidate can do the work with someone watching. That last step matters more now that resumes and take-home answers are easy to generate. Our post on skillfishing and how to verify candidate skills covers why.
