What is a task?
A task in Codebie is the challenge you’ll be sending to candidates. It’s the starting point of every assessment.
When you create a new task, it comes with its own Git repository. Your reviewers can then push code, instructions, or templates to this repository — just like they would in any Git project.
Once your HR team invites a candidate to the task and the candidate accepts, Codebie automatically copies the content of the task repository into a brand-new Git assessment repository for that specific candidate.
This means you prepare your challenge once, and Codebie takes care of the rest.
You have full freedom in how you structure your challenge:
You can simply include a README.md with instructions.
You can provide unfinished functions or classes for the candidate to complete.
You can even give them a partially implemented solution and ask them to continue building on it.
Codebie doesn’t restrict your workflow — you’re free to design your assessments the way you want.
How to create a new task
Go to the Tasks page in the left sidebar of your company dashboard.
Click the Create Task button.
A step-by-step wizard will guide you through the process.
Step 1: General Info
Give your task a name. Codebie will automatically generate a URL-friendly identifier, but you can change it if you prefer.
Step 2: Responsible Employees
Not every employee needs to be involved in every task. For example, your frontend developers may not want notifications for DevOps-related challenges.
Only the employees you select here will receive notifications when something changes in assessments linked to this task.
Step 3: Evaluation Questions
In this step, you can add task-specific evaluation questions.
These questions help your reviewers assess the candidate more consistently.
They are completely internal and will never be shown to the candidate.
Each reviewer will be asked to score each question from 1 to 5.
For example, for a backend task, you could ask:
Did the candidate follow SOLID principles?
Does the code follow clean code practices?
Is the solution’s time complexity reasonable?
Once you’ve completed all three steps, your task will be created. But you’re not done just yet — there’s one last step:
Your reviewers need to push code into the task repository to prepare the challenge. Once something has been pushed, your HR team can start inviting candidates.
