Code review submission

Updated over a year ago

Code reviews in Codebie follow a familiar Git-based workflow. Here's how to review a candidate's submission:

Adding Comments

  1. Navigate to the assessment detail page
  2. Open the Code tab
  3. Browse through the submitted files — just like you would on any Git provider
  4. Hover over a line of code and click the "+" button to add a comment
  5. 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:

  1. Click the "Submit Code Reviews" button at the top right of the Code tab
  2. Add your "General Thoughts" — this becomes an internal assessment note
  3. 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
