Buglyst for engineering teams

See how engineers debug before you hire.

Replace the first-round coding quiz with a focused broken-codebase assessment. Review how candidates investigate, fix, and verify real failures.

One account for practice and hiring · employer access is controlled by organization roles

Employer onboarding is controlled while self-serve is unavailable. Request a pilot and we’ll provision role-based workspace access after review.

Why debugging evidence

Interviews reveal polish. Debugging reveals judgment.

A correct answer matters. The path to that answer tells you far more about how someone will work inside your codebase.

Watch the debugging process

Candidates reproduce a real failure, inspect unfamiliar code, make a focused change, and verify the result.

Review work, not a score

See the investigation trail, patch scope, checks run, and evidence confidence in one candidate report.

Keep the signal defensible

Private checks, versioned tasks, and matching-fix detection make copied answers much less useful.

Choose your starting point

Start with verified labs. Add customization when you need it.

    Build the screen

    Choose a verified lab, set the role and time limit, then approve the exact assessment version.

  2. 02

    Invite the candidate

    Send a private, email-bound link. Candidates start in the browser without a setup call.

  3. 03

    Let them debug

    They reproduce the failure, inspect the codebase, make a focused fix, and run the checks.

  4. 04

    Interview from evidence

    Review the work trail with your team and use it to ask sharper follow-up questions.

Work your team can inspect

Turn the interview into a technical conversation.

Use the candidate's actual investigation and patch to decide what to explore next. Buglyst supplies the evidence; your team makes the decision.

Root-cause thinking

Did they follow evidence or change code at random?

Patch quality

Was the fix focused, readable, and proportionate?

Verification habits

Did they run the right checks before submitting?

Interview direction

What should your team explore with them next?
