For hiring teams
Run hiring challenges that show how developers work.
Give candidates realistic software work, review candidate-attributable evidence from the process, and inspect Technical Evaluations before your team decides.

Define the work
Set the evaluation contract before the run begins.
Define realistic technical work, expected deliverables, review criteria, and repository expectations before candidates begin.
- 01Technical requirement
Anchor the challenge in a concrete software problem.
- 02Candidate plan
Make the expected work and deliverables explicit.
- 03Review criteria
Review exactly what the evaluation will consider.


Review the trail
See the work behind the submission.
Recorded development activity gives reviewers context beyond the final result. It shows progression through the run without turning activity into a proxy for productivity, personality, or seniority.
Inspect the evaluation
A technical evaluation should show its basis.
Inspect criterion judgments, confidence, evidence sufficiency, and source references before your team reaches a decision.

Technical decision support stays inspectable. Your reviewers retain authority.
Evidence first
Insufficient evidence is a valid outcome.
When candidate-attributable evidence is insufficient, DevMarathon can return no overall score instead of inventing certainty.

AI supports the review. Your team makes the decision.
Human review remains final.
Operate the loop
Move from candidate runs to reviewer action.
Review run status, open the development trail, and inspect the Technical Evaluation in one connected hiring workflow.

Questions
Before your first challenge.
Does AI make the hiring decision?
No. Technical Evaluation supports the review; your team makes the final decision.
What happens when there is insufficient evidence?
DevMarathon can return insufficient evidence instead of producing an unsupported overall score.
Does Technical Evaluation review the entire repository?
Technical Evaluation uses controlled evidence selected from the submitted work. It does not independently browse the candidate's repository.
Is the hiring workflow a subscription?
No. The hiring workflow is free. Additional AI Technical Evaluations are one-time purchases.
Do organizers need GitHub?
No. Organizers can create a challenge without connecting GitHub.
Can teams start free?
Yes. Challenges, candidate participation, evidence, and manual review are free. Each organization also includes three AI Technical Evaluations.
