You don't need to be a developer to build coding tests with Canditech, and I think that's really awesome. The recruiter I was working with for my full stack roles used Canditech’s pre-made coding exercises and customized them for our company. This saved me a lot of time in building my own tests, and I could be confident that the test was fair and accurate.

A large aspect of the product manager role is communication skills, and the ability to illustrate points and the reasoning behind it. Prior to Canditech, we were wasting countless hours on interviewing candidates, scheduling various teammates to meet with each applicant, etc. In creating video response questions on the Canditech platform, we were able to ask candidates to describe a recent project they worked on, or just to tell us about themselves, and we really gained valuable insights, and every member of the hiring team was able to review the candidates’ responses on their own time.

There is a very technical aspect of our customer success roles, as they work directly with our technical clients. We look for individuals that have a good mix of CSM skills along with data analysis/technical skills (even former data analysts making career changes, etc.). For candidates with technical backgrounds but not customer-facing, it is really important for us to check their communication skills. On the other hand, for candidates with client-facing backgrounds but less technical, we need to check their technical skills.
