  • Freedom to remotely test applicants anywhere in the world, any time
  • Le RealLifeTestingTM methodology creates a better user experience where candidates are given real systems to find and fix vulnerabilities in
  • Strict anti-plagiarism rules that ensure legitimate and accurate test results
  • Non-technical friendly reports that are automatically generated
  • Security online coding tests and interview questions for junior and middle positions

What to look for in a security engineer

A security engineer’s primary goal is to prepare for cyber attacks. Among other things, a competent security engineer should be able to fix unsafe procedures, apply software and hardware update policies, and design access controls to various systems and data.

They also need to understand more domain-specific issues. These include social engineering, phishing, buffer overflows, XSS, zero-days, and Metasploit. Finally, security engineers need to have an understanding of Intrusion Defection/Prevention Systems or Security Information and Event Management systems.

Want proof that our Security online tests work?

Knowing the best way to invest your business’s finances can be daunting, particularly if that investment is in something new like our screening tool. After all, DevSkiller security tests are different from conventional development testing. Rather than us convince you then, read what our customers have had to say:

Richard Williams - Vice-président de l'ingénierie chez Plutora

"Grâce à l'automatisation de la phase de sélection, nous avons pu réduire le taux d'entretien de 50%. Dans le même temps, la qualité des candidats qui parviennent à l'étape de l'entretien est désormais bien meilleure. DevSkiller ajoute un niveau de qualité supplémentaire à notre processus d'embauche technique"

Julien Gauthiez - Responsable de l'acquisition de talents EMEA chez Criteo

"Nous utilisons DevSkiller sur 15 sites dans nos 3 régions (US/APAC/EMEA). Nous avons 7 utilisateurs fréquents dans l'AT (recruteurs) à travers nos régions, et les utilisateurs de notre gestionnaire de recrutement technique tournent en fonction des besoins actuels. Plus de 30 d'entre eux se sont connectés à la plateforme une fois pour réviser une mission ou créer un test."

Sabu Pappu - Responsable de l'acquisition de talents chez Veriday

"Nous avons réduit le nombre de rejets techniques, ce qui est très bien. Nous avons constaté une amélioration de 25% à ce stade après la mise en œuvre de DevSkiller. La plateforme nous aide vraiment à évaluer les compétences en programmation des candidats et à fournir une approche logique des compétences en résolution de problèmes des professionnels de l'informatique. DevSkiller nous a fait gagner beaucoup de temps pendant la phase de montée en charge et nous a aidés à inviter des candidats de bonne qualité ayant obtenu de bons résultats au test, ce qui a finalement permis d'améliorer les critères de sélection."

Questions fréquemment posées

Qu'est-ce que RealLifeTesting ?TM?

DevSkiller is leading the way when it comes to developer testing because we implement the RealLifeTestingTM methodology into our Security online tests. RealLifeTestingTM works by recreating a developer’s actual work environment through simulation, with test candidates then being presented with realistic challenges to overcome.

Security online test candidates are evaluated based on the accuracy of their coding, the speed of their responses, and their critical thinking skills. Rather than simply reciting algorithms and coding patterns, candidates will be expected to perform in the same manner as they would in the developer role itself. There can be no hiding away. The developer candidates that are most adept and who show the most understanding when it comes to Security, are those who will progress.

Dois-je être un programmeur pour utiliser DevSkiller ?

No, you don’t need to be an expert in Security development yourself. We have our own experts who have designed our Security online tests, doing the hard work for you. Our aim is that company recruiters who aren’t experts can be confident in hiring the right people for the role, without needing to be well versed in Security development themselves.

Our DevSkiller Security tests accurately verify the technical skills of each candidate and present the recruiter with the results in an easy to understand, automated report. This will give you a detailed account of the strengths and weaknesses of each test subject, all while still in the initial screening stage.

Comment les candidats passent-ils un test ?

DevSkiller Security tests can be accessed remotely. In a world becoming increasingly more dependent on remote working, in-house developer testing is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Our Security tests are accessed online and can be taken from anywhere, at the convenience of the candidate. Tests are issued with time-limits to create a level playing field and even individual questions can be given set durations.

When working on the tests themselves, candidates can use their favorite IDE and then clone the project to GIT. Alternatively, if they prefer, they can use DevSkiller’s own state of the art in-browser IDE to complete the project. During the assessment, much like with their real development work, candidates can run unit tests to ensure their solutions are working.

Quelle est la durée du test ?

Test duration is flexible depending on you, the recruiter. Our Security online tests come set with default settings, which can be altered to suit your requirements if necessary. Recruiters can control the duration of the tests, set individual time-limits for certain questions within a test, and even make test invites active for only a certain amount of time if desired.
