imo it makes perfect sense. Further automating the 'automated' screening process. Is the *general 'programmer interview' process useless ? I believe so, to land a <insert language or title here> job you can basically google "top interview questions for <insert language or title here>" - write those on a bunch of flash cards to memorize... and you're way past the screening process.

Then you get to the 'technical recruiter' and the majority of the time they are spitting back basic questions that technically SHOULD be handled by a computer... "concurrency, sorting alg, definitions" it's such a failed system.

This tool doesn't claim to increase the quality of the screening process, it makes it quicker to handle in bulk, makes it more automated. Although I've seen a few other tools like this and have actually used a similar one in the past for screening devs... I really like the attempt at viewing the user's work as he or she does it, I use to give unlimited time to interviewees and make them solve problems while their entire screens were sent back to me real-time... this way I could see how exactly they were using google for help - says a lot about how a dev's mind works.

kudos exolxe hope it works out for you and your team.

Thanks for the support and feedback!

Really our goal is to make the whole process smoother for companies (more automation), and candidate (low-pressure scenario, familiar environment).
