What Qualified is
Qualified is a web and API platform for assessing software developers in recruiting, education, and certification. It delivers automated technical assessments that combine coding challenges with question-and-answer tasks. Teams can create assessments ranging from small exercises to project-scale work, while professionally built standardized assessments include benchmarking statistics against other developers. Review tools include automated scoring, code similarity and risk detection, blind reviews, pair-programming interviews, and code playback. Developers may use an external IDE, and submitted code is validated with actual unit testing frameworks. Recruiters can connect Greenhouse, Workable, BambooHR, Lever, and Recruitee. Integration options also include an API, webhooks, Zapier, and an Embed SDK. The service offers a 14-day trial at no cost, allowing up to five free assessment results and many team-plan features. Custom plans provide CSV data export and SAML-based SSO. SCIM provisioning with Okta is paid, and proctoring is not available.
