Our tasks run on real virtual machines that the candidate has the complete freedom to configure as they see fit. Rather than giving your candidate access to your back-end, our range of secure coding tests means your product and database are untouched. Safely and securely test your candidate’s coding skills, problem-solving, and business logic.

What to look for in a DevOps Engineer
A DevOps engineer’s role is between that of a software engineer and an operations engineer. The skillset is very diverse, meaning your candidate should be proficient in multiple technologies at a very high level. Configuration management is also important, as it helps automate tasks and increase your team’s agility. And just like most members of an agile team, your ideal DevOps engineer must be a team player!

Investing your company’s money can be a big decision and not one that should be taken lightly. If you’re interested in trying DevSkiller DevOps online tests for your business, but need a little persuasion, check out what some of our satisfied customers have to say:
Jonatan Rugarn - CEO, Fondatore, Recruiter presso Lingonberry Talent Acquisition, Engineering Manager presso Avinode Group
"La durata del processo di reclutamento non è cambiata, ma spendiamo meno tempo e meno fatica per ogni candidato. Inoltre, non perdiamo tempo con i candidati sbagliati".
Ivana Nikolic - Responsabile delle risorse umane presso ImpacTech
"Il vantaggio maggiore per i candidati è che possono svolgere i test a loro piacimento. Nel caso in cui un candidato stia già lavorando e stia pensando di cambiare carriera o di trasferirsi in un'altra azienda, è anche un risparmio di tempo per lui, in quanto non deve prendersi delle ferie per partecipare a numerosi colloqui nella ricerca di una nuova posizione."
Julien Gauthiez - Responsabile acquisizione talenti EMEA presso Criteo
"Utilizziamo DevSkiller in 15 sedi nelle nostre 3 regioni (USA/APAC/EMEA). Abbiamo 7 utenti frequenti in AT (reclutatori) in tutte le nostre regioni, e gli utenti dei nostri responsabili tecnici delle assunzioni ruotano a seconda delle esigenze attuali. Più di 30 si sono collegati alla piattaforma una volta per rivedere un incarico o creare un test".
Domande frequenti
Cosa si fa contro il plagio?
At DevSkiller we want to be certain that our test results can be trusted, so we take plagiarism seriously. We have been able to implement several different anti-plagiarism tools during the screening process to eliminate the problem.
All DevOps online test answers and all entered code are cross-referenced automatically with every answer in our database. By searching hundreds of past tests and cross-checking the code from all of them, we are able to identify if there is a duplicate answer and if there, we can prove that the candidate has cheated.
In addition, we implement screen recording into our DevOps online tests to check if the candidate is looking at a different screen when undertaking a test. We also use a range of social listening tools, check the candidate’s IP address, and use live pair notifications.
Devo essere un programmatore per usare DevSkiller?
At DevSkiller we want our screening tool to be as easy to use as possible, not just for technical recruiters, but also for recruiters who aren’t technically minded. Our aim is that any recruiter can implement DevSkiller into their screening process and significantly enhance their chances of finding the right developer for their business.
The DevSkiller platform is prepared with default DevOps online tests that are ready to send out. Once the tests are completed, results are assessed and an automatically generated report is produced that is easy to understand. If you have someone technical available you can custom build your own tests and set your own specifications, but only if you want to.
How long does it take to set up DevSkiller DevOps online tests?
Our screening tool is designed to speed up your whole recruitment process and so our experts have made DevSkiller DevOps online tests quick and easy to set up.

What do candidates think of DevSkiller DevOps online tests?
We receive regular feedback from developers regarding our DevOps online tests, and the reaction is overwhelmingly positive. Candidates who have taken our tests seem to relish having the chance to prove their actual software development skills, rather than having to remember algorithmic patterns they simply don’t use every day. Developer candidates grow bored with traditional coding tests and appreciate that in our tests they get to use normal coding tools and conventions like unit testing, and cloning to GIT from a personal IDE. Our tests better reflect the work that developers actually do and they appreciate being given a chance to prove their skills in a fair setting.
On the odd occasion, a developer has been a little unsure at first, we find this is because they have been put off taking similar tests in the past, that haven’t reflected the actual development work they do. Once they see the RealLifeTesting™ methodology implemented into our DevOps online tests and that our approach to developer testing is different, they are usually very keen to show what they can do.
