24 alternatives to Technical Interviews Built for 2025
Hey HN, The way we hire engineers made sense in 2015. But in 2025, when engineers use AI tools daily, we're still testing algorithm memorization on whiteboards.. That's why we're building DevDay. DevDay is built for the new reality of modern engineering work: candidates collaborate with AI teammates, delegate tasks to AI agents, and solve problems using the tools they'd actually use on the job (LLMs, git, and Slac(k) for team communication). The old interview playbook is fundamentally broken: - Whiteboard anxiety tests don't predict performance - Take-home tests and virtual paired…

FlowTask 2.0▲138For years, I was stuck. Trapped in a loop. Every new project, every team initiative – it began with the same soul-crushing setup. Hours. Gone. Not on the actual work, mind you. But on the meta-work. Defining tasks. Sketching forms. Mapping workflows. Hunting for that 'perfect' template that never quite fit. Just trying to get to zero. To a starting line where meaningful work could actually begin. Most project management tools? They're brilliant once things are up and running. Tracking, collaborating, reporting – they nail it. But that initial blank canvas? That moment you’re staring at an…

Hi HN, We’re definitely not the first to realise there’s something seriously wrong with how hiring and job-seeking works today. Zero-cost communication and LLMs have created so much noise that good candidates can’t get heard, and it becomes all too tempting to game the system with keywords and prompt-hacking. In fact we discovered that 70% of early stage AI startups don't post their jobs on LinkedIn. Instead, many founders hire exclusively within their network, which works at the start but doesn’t scale. We thought a lot about this problem, and pivoted through a few ideas including an AI…

Hello HN! I want to share DevScreen (https://devscreen.io/). We’ve been iterating on DevScreen for a few years now with the goal of delivering an awesome interview process for both candidates and the company. We achieve this by using realistic job-based tests and allowing the candidate to use their own editor - not a whiteboard or unfamiliar online code editor. Many of the existing products in this space just bring the same old whiteboard coding puzzles to the web, without solving the core problem: those tests are not a good indicator of performance. This is a waste of time…

Hey HN! We’re Jared, Shreyas, and Varun the creators of TechInterviewer. We’re building a product for software engineers to go through an entirely simulated systems design interview.

Check out our demo: https://app.techinterviewer.ai Every software engineer today has to prepare for systems design interviews and have two awful options: pay hundreds of dollars for a single session with a FAANG engineer or follow…
