Interviewstreet aims to be a one-stop technical recruiting suite with three main products: 1) screening programmers with custom coding challenges, 2) a real-time collaborative coding interview system, and 3) a lightweight applicant tracking system. Their focus is on making technical recruiting efficient across roles from junior to senior levels. They see their biggest differentiators as their customer support, where they directly work with customers to address issues, and their product roadmap to cover all technical recruiting needs.

loved by a lot of technology companies

or number of people using the software

5. Competitive analysis
Screening software includes codility, mettl, codeeval, etc.
Each of the above software is really well built and solve a much needed problem.
However from the start, our focus has been on customers and not competitors. Even
though we’ve every feature (& more) that each of the above software supports, the
biggest differentiators are
a. Customer support
b. Focus & roadmap

6. Competitive analysis
Customer support
• We’ve zero churn. No customer has EVER left us
• Most of our enterprise customers are via referrals
• Every testimonial on the site talks about our customer support above
the product
• Irony? We don’t have a customer support team. Everyone in our
company does customer support. You talk directly to the developer
to fix issues
• Adobe specific
• We built the sections in the test interface after a request from engineer
• We built access-level-control after a request (e-mail conversation)
• To ensure the campus process go smoothly, we canceled an investor meeting
and accompanied Adobe.
Customers are like royal guests to our house and we’ll do everything to make
them successful and happy!
