There's a flurry of features our nimble engineering team is constantly launching and I don't do a good job of externally sharing how impactful that work has been to our customers and the delivery of effective, efficient, and equitable interviews per our mission. Earlier this year, Byteboard launched CodeCollab, a seamless live-coding platform that builds off of our skills-based CoreEval asessments. CodeCollab comes with a multi-file collaborative editor, built-in interview guides to drive consistency and fairness, and pre-loaded custom configs to drive ease of interviewing. ? Today, we launched pre-installed extensions that enable better autocomplete, error checking, syntax highlighting, and debugger support within the collaborative editor to drive better experiences for candidates and interviewers. ???? It's been great to see our customers like Houzz, Webflow, SandboxAQ, and so many more quickly adopt Byteboard end-to-end across their roles and work in partnership with us to build a brighter, better interviewing experience for all! ??
