Private code reviews are comments that remain internal-only — they are never visible to candidates, even after the assessment is closed.
You can mix private and public comments in the same review. When writing a comment, simply select "Private" from the visibility options.
When to Use Private Comments
- Highlight topics for internal team discussion
- Seek peer opinions on a candidate's approach
- Flag concerns that shouldn't unfairly influence the candidate
- Coordinate reviewer strategy
Private comments create a safe space to evaluate candidates honestly and collaboratively, without worrying about tone or interpretation.
