codesolara vs Codility.
Captures everything the candidate asked the assistant, and deliberately refuses to let any of it move the score.
We sell one of these, so read it as an argument rather than a review — which is why the section on where Codility beats us is the longest one here. Checked 19 September 2026; verify anything decisive with them directly, because this category is moving quickly.
The short version
- AI in the assessment
- Cody, their assistant, inside a VSCode environment
- What the reviewer sees
- Every prompt, suggestion and follow-up, as reviewable activity
- Scores how AI was used?
- Deliberately not — AI activity does not affect their automated scoring
- codesolara, for contrast
- Prompts, edits and commands as the evidence behind each score — graded against bands your team authored, with a second pass that re-checks every citation.
What they have actually shipped
Cody, their assistant, runs inside a VSCode environment on OpenAI models, and every prompt, suggestion and follow-up is captured as reviewable AI activity. The notable part is what they do next: none of that activity affects their automated scoring. They capture the record and leave the judgement to a human on purpose.
Reasons to choose Codility instead
Written so that an engineer who works there would call it fair.
- You do not believe an automated system should be judging how someone collaborates with AI. That is a coherent view, and Codility have built for it rather than claiming more than they can support.
- Your process already has experienced reviewers who want raw material and no opinion attached.
- You need an established enterprise vendor with the procurement posture that implies.
Reasons to choose codesolara
- Reviewer time is your constraint. An unscored record moves the work to a person, and that cost is what usually stops evidence-based hiring from surviving a busy quarter.
- You want consistency across interviewers. Without bands written in advance, two reviewers reading the same transcript score it differently and both believe they agree.
- You want an argument you can disagree with, rather than a pile of material you have to form one from.
All of those come back to one mechanism. A second run re-reads the citations behind each score and confirms they say what the score claimed; when the evidence does not hold, that criterion iswithdrawn rather than marked down, because an invented citation must not cost a candidate marks and must not earn them either.The reasoning, in full.
