For hiring teams
Run hiring challenges that show how developers work.
Create realistic software challenges, invite candidates, and review the work behind the submission with evidence-linked Technical Evaluations.
Challenges and candidate invitations are free.

Define the work
Define what good work looks like before candidates begin.
Set the technical task, expected deliverables, repository expectations, and review criteria up front.
- 01Technical requirement
Anchor the challenge in a concrete software problem.
- 02Candidate expectations
Make the expected work and deliverables clear.
- 03Review criteria
Decide what the evaluation will consider before the run starts.
Review the trail
The final code is only part of the story.
Review recorded GitHub activity alongside the submission to understand how the work progressed — without treating activity as a productivity, personality, or seniority score.
Inspect the evaluation
A technical evaluation should show its basis.
Inspect criterion judgments, confidence, evidence sufficiency, and evidence-linked reference IDs before your team reaches a decision.
AI supports the technical review. Your team makes the final decision.
Evidence first
No evidence. No invented certainty.
When candidate-attributable evidence is insufficient, DevMarathon can return no overall score rather than manufacture certainty.
Human review remains final.
Organizer workflow
Move from candidate runs to reviewer action.
Open candidate runs, review development evidence, and inspect the Technical Evaluation in one connected workflow.
Hiring pricing
Run hiring free. Pay only for AI evaluation.
The hiring workflow is free. Every organization includes 3 AI Technical Evaluations. Additional evaluations are $15 each.
Questions
Before your first challenge.
Do organizers or candidates need GitHub?
Organizers can create and manage a Hiring Challenge without connecting GitHub. Candidates participating in a Hiring Challenge do need to connect GitHub for the challenge workflow.
What does DevMarathon capture and review?
DevMarathon records GitHub activity from the candidate run to provide context alongside the submission. Technical Evaluation uses controlled evidence from the submitted work; it does not independently browse the entire candidate repository.
Does AI make the hiring decision?
No. AI supports the technical review with evidence-linked findings. Your team makes the final hiring decision.
Can teams start free, and how are AI evaluations priced?
Challenge creation and candidate participation are free. Each organization includes 3 AI Technical Evaluations. Additional evaluations are $15 each.
