When you love your work, your work is never done and at Devskiller we love our work. Winter is no time to sleep. Our customers certainly don’t so why should we? Instead, we’ve been looking for new features to add to our platform as well as making sure things just run better. This is all in our new platform update.

Devskiller platform update April 2019

Here are some of the most important things that we’ve added since our last update.

We’ve updated our tasks to make sure they run on the most recent versions of the technology they test

There’s no use in seeing if a developer can use an old version of a technology when they’re going to be using the most recent version at work. New updates can be very different from the older versions of the technology they replace. We understand this so, in addition to putting out new tasks, we now support the most recent versions of that technology in addition to the legacy versions. Read More

How to screen C and C++ developer programming skills to find the best – guide for IT recruitment

By | Coding Test, IT recruitment, Recruiting Tips, Technical Interview

C and C++ developers don’t get the same buzz as developers in other languages. They aren’t as ubiquitous as JavaScript developers.

As a result, there is still a lot of demand for C and C++ developers. So the question becomes, how do you screen C and C++ developer skills?
