How is Utkrusht different from HackerRank or CodeSignal?

Utkrusht evaluates developers using real-world work simulations instead of theoretical coding tests and MCQs. Candidates solve practical engineering problems in environments similar to actual work.

Who is Utkrusht designed for?

Utkrusht is designed for software companies, engineering leaders, CTOs and hiring teams that need a reliable way to screen and shortlist developers.

What do hiring teams receive?

Hiring teams receive ranked candidate shortlists, coding outputs, assessment recordings, skill evaluations and evidence of real-world developer performance.

See how every candidate codes, thinks, debugs, and uses AI, in live production systems

Send your candidates a Task that looks like the work your team does every week, and let them use AI the way they would on the job. Watch the full recording, then interview only the few who can do the work.

Key outcomes for tech and engineering teams

Know who can really do the job

Some candidates interview very well, then struggle on their first commit.
See them fix a bug or speed up an API before you make an offer.

See HOW they use and talk with AI

Every prompt they type is on the recording.
You can tell whether they checked the AI’s answer or pasted it straight in.

Catch cheating and fake candidates

Stand-ins, VPNs, extra tabs and long looks away from the screen show up as red flags in the report.

Get your engineers' time back

No more blocking time every day for interviews.
Your team meets only the 5-10 candidates who already proved the skill.

Solve your top challenges and how Utkrusht fixes it

What engineering teams deal with

How Utkrusht solves them

“We got 500 applications and don’t know who to interview first.”

Every resume gets a fit score. Search them in plain English, like “worked at a startup” or “fintech experience”.

“Good developers and engineers failed our tests, and bad ones passed by cheating.”

Tasks mirror the role’s tools, constraints and tradeoffs instead of relying on quiz-style questions.

“They can’t explain their own code, or why they picked a technology on their own project.”

The recording shows their approach, the questions they ask, and how they get unstuck.

“Test answers are all over the internet.”

New Tasks are added every week, and leaked ones are removed.

Take-home assignments create slow feedback, high review effort, and candidate drop-off.

Short, focused tasks produce comparable evidence quickly while keeping the candidate experience practical.

Features that

make Utkrusht different than others

Evaluation method

Live production environments

Watch each candidate fix real servers, clusters and databases, with no interviewer in the room.

Your interviewer's valuable time is saved to only talk to high-calibre candidates already shown proof-of-skill.

In-depth candidate reports

Candidate attempt analysis reports

Review a 45-minute attempt in minutes, with every evidence linked to the moment in the video.

Deepfakes and anti-cheating

Proctoring and identity signals

Confirm the person who took the Task is the same person who joins, with features like VPN and proxy detection, face liveness, selfie verification, etc.

Easily catch candidates who attempt cheating when taking Tasks with sharp proctoring features already built-in.

Non-leakable Tasks

Tasks built-in for 350+ skills and new Tasks generated every week

Hire for all your software engineering and developer roles at once without building or resetting a single task.

Also included niche roles like embedded, cybersecurity, and much more.

Why Utkrusht?

Other assessment and candidate evaluation tools

How Utkrusht takes a different approach?

100+ applications per role. Humanly impossible to sit, shortlist, and evaluate each

Every resume auto-scored on evidence from resume, LinkedIn and GitHub. Search the whole pipeline in 1-click

AI-written resumes tailored to the job description. Keyword scores get gamed

Fit scores separate demonstrated skill from a bare mention, with the evidence shown

High test scores, bad interviews. Candidates can't explain their own code

Candidates debug and fix a running system with AI allowed. The recording and prompt trail show who did the thinking

Preset question banks. Candidates arrive already prepared

New tasks every week, leaked tasks removed, role-matched to your stack

Take-home assignments create slow feedback, high review effort and candidate drop-off.

Short, byte-sized focused Tasks produce comparable evidence quickly while keeping the candidate experience smooth

"Utkrusht has been pivotal for us. Their assessment tests help us find the candidates with required technical skills and their detailed analysis improved our time spent on interviewing candidates significantly. We now realise how much time we used to waste on screening"
Jaydeep Roman
VP of Products, Wybrid
"Relying solely on recruiter agencies not only took 2-3 months on average, but we still ended up interviewing candidates who couldn't deliver desired code. With Utkrusht, we shortlisted 3 strong candidates in just a week, and every single one of them could build robust code!"
Harshal Bhakta
Co-founder, Cital
“We’ve hired developers who looked great on paper but collapsed in real projects. Utkrusht's platform changed that. Now we don’t guess, we see how they code and work under real conditions. The quality of our hires has gone way up, and we’re no longer wasting time on interviews that go nowhere.”
Atul
Co-founder & COO, ScaleReal
"AI-based assessments have helped us speed up our recruitment process while improving the quality of hiring.
The detailed technical evaluations make it easier to make quick and confident decisions. What really stands out is the team’s personalized support, quick response. Overall, it has been a great experience working with this innovative tool and the amazing people at Utkrusht."
Arun Bhimani
VP of Technology, InTech Solutions
"We evaluated at least 15 other skill assessment tools which are out there. They are good, but they test candidates on algorithm questions and theory knowledge. None showed us how someone would actually perform on our team. With Utkrusht, I watched candidates work through the same debugging and optimization problems my engineers face daily. That's when I knew who to hire."
Husna Kouser
Director of HR, Skills Agency
"We were spending 15 hours a week screening resumes and doing first-round calls. Most candidates couldn't even explain their own projects and things they wrote on their resume.. Utkrusht's 20-minute real-job simulation assessments cut through that. We now just know before interviewing candidates they have shown strong technical skills."
Vedang Manerikar
Founder, Unravel Tech
"My senior developers were spending 20+ hours a week doing code pairing sessions and reviewing take-home assignments. With Utkrusht, All candidates complete the same “build something” assessment, the platform stack ranks them automatically, and I get a clear top 10. So we now only interview candidates who've already shown clear proof-of-skill."

Why Utkrusht?

Other technical assessment and candidate evaluation tools

How Utkrusht takes a different approach?

Coding challenges and repo projects in a browser IDE. Candidates write code, but nothing is actually running live.

Deployed servers, clusters and databases. Candidates debug and fix a system that is already running, like on the job.

AI is blocked, flagged, or limited to a built-in assistant inside the test window.

Candidates work on their own machine with their own AI tools. The full prompt trail shows who steered and who copy-pasted.

Live coding and technical interview tools need one of your engineers on every technical round.

No interviews initially. Tasks sent and run across to ALL candidates, and only then your panel's time is spent on 5-10 best fit candidates that have demonstrated proof-of-work.

A score and a pass/fail. Your team still has to guess what the candidate actually did.

Every finding on skill, AI usage and problem solving links to the exact moment and evidence shown to you in the recording.
