Capabilities

The interview platform engineers wish their hiring team picked.

Six core capabilities, designed around what actually matters: signal, fairness, and respecting an engineer's time.

In-editor experience

Candidates work in VS Code with their own keybindings, themes, and extensions. The interview disappears into their normal workflow.

Hidden test cases

Visible tests for confidence, hidden tests for signal. Verdicts include time, memory, and the failing input — when you choose to share it.

Plagiarism detection

Hash-based duplicates, Jaccard token similarity, and paste-burst telemetry — bundled into a single review surface, no false-positive theater.

Real-time analytics

Pass rate per question, time-to-solve histograms, and per-cohort comparisons. Find which questions actually predict outcomes.

Audit logs

Every run, paste, and focus event is recorded with a cryptographic hash. Disputes get resolved with evidence, not opinions.

Multi-language

Coming soon

Python today. Go, TypeScript, Rust, and Java rolling out through Q3. SDK support for bring-your-own runtimes.

How it works

Three steps, then evidence.

From assessment creation to verdict review, the loop is short enough that hiring managers actually close it.

  1. STEP 01

    Create assessment

    Pick from the question bank or write your own. Set duration, hidden test cases, and which signals you care about.

  2. STEP 02

    Invite candidates

    One link per candidate, scoped to the assessment, expires when you say so. Resend without recreating.

  3. STEP 03

    Review submissions

    Verdicts, run history, plagiarism clusters, and pass-rate analytics in one panel. Calibrate with your team in minutes.

Why Proctord

A platform both sides actually want to use.

Most coding-test tools optimize for one side and treat the other as adversarial. We don't.

What candidates get

  • Use your own VS Code with your own keybindings, snippets, and theme.
  • No browser tab spying. We log paste bursts, not keystrokes.
  • See visible test results instantly. Iterate the way you'd actually work.
  • Save and resume on the same machine if your laptop dies — your work is safe.
  • Plain instructions. No tab-switching surveillance, no fake timers, no rage-bait UI.

What you get

  • Hidden test cases that you write — not a third party's frozen library.
  • Plagiarism review with three orthogonal signals, not one black-box score.
  • Per-question pass-rate analytics so bad questions get killed instead of repeated.
  • Run history and execution logs that survive disputes and post-hire reviews.
  • Per-company isolation, role-based access, and a real audit trail.
“We replaced two screening rounds with one Proctord assessment. The pass-rate analytics surfaced two questions we were repeating that didn’t correlate with offers — we killed them. Time-to-hire dropped 31% in a quarter.”

FAQ

Common questions, direct answers.

If you don't see your question here, drop us a line — we answer within a business day.

How is candidate code kept secure during execution?
Submissions run inside short-lived, sandboxed runners with no network egress, capped CPU, capped memory, and a 30-second wall clock. We never persist a candidate's local working tree — only the explicit submission and an immutable run log.
Which languages are supported?
Python 3.11 is GA. Go, TypeScript, Rust, and Java are rolling out through Q3 2026. Custom runtime SDK is on the roadmap for enterprise tiers.
How does pricing work for large hiring funnels?
The Team plan is $199/month with unlimited candidates and 5 admin seats. Enterprise pricing kicks in around 1,000+ candidates per month and includes SSO, dedicated infra, and a named CSM. We do not charge per-question or per-language overages.
Do you integrate with our ATS?
Webhooks on every state change ship at every tier. Native Greenhouse and Ashby connectors are in private beta. Custom ATS integrations are part of every Enterprise rollout.
What does the candidate experience look like?
Candidates install our VS Code extension, paste their invite code, and solve the round in their normal editor. They see visible-test verdicts in real time and submit when ready. No browser proctoring, no webcam, no full-screen lockdown.
Can candidates request data deletion?
Yes. Candidates can request deletion of their submissions and telemetry at any time from the extension or by emailing privacy@proctord.dev. We complete deletion within 30 days and confirm via email.
