Code reviews in Codebie follow a familiar Git-based workflow. Here's how to review a candidate's submission:
Adding Comments
- Navigate to the assessment detail page
- Open the Code tab
- Browse through the submitted files — just like you would on any Git provider
- Hover over a line of code and click the "+" button to add a comment
- Choose whether the comment should be public (visible to the candidate after assessment closes) or private (internal only)
Submitting Your Review
After you've added all your comments:
- Click the "Submit Code Reviews" button at the top right of the Code tab
- Add your "General Thoughts" — this becomes an internal assessment note
- Click Submit to finalize
Anonymity
All code reviews are anonymous. Candidates will see feedback from labels like "Anonymous Superman" or "Anonymous Batman" — never real names or roles.
Best Practices
- Be clear and specific — Reference what you see in the code
- Be constructive — Focus on helping the candidate understand
- Don't nitpick — Focus on meaningful aspects of the solution
- Balance criticism with praise — Acknowledge what was done well
- Stay consistent — Align feedback with your evaluation questions
