Ask for a case, a design or a report and get everything organized in one place, ready for rubric-based grading.
A take-home assignment is a practical task in which a candidate solves a problem close to the real job and submits the result as a file, such as a report, an analysis or a presentation. On Coodesh, the File question type collects that upload inside the assessment, and the submission is graded against criteria your company defines, either by AI or by your team.
An interview shows how someone talks about the work; a work sample shows the work. When submissions arrive by email or a shared folder, it is hard to prove everyone got the same brief and the same time, and harder still to compare them. Inside an assessment, every candidate gets the same task, the same deadline and the same scoring rubric.
Go to Assessments › Library › Create question and choose File. Set the language, the title and a brief that explains what to submit.
Choose the time limit, the level (beginner, practitioner or advanced), the weight and the skills the assignment covers.
Fill in the goal of the question and how to grade it, then add criteria with a name, description and weight. They guide both the AI and human graders.
The AI grades against your criteria and the score updates. If a file cannot be read, the question goes to manual review. Your team makes the decision.
File uploads use the same grading and results structure as every other test in the assessment.
Attach files in the question editor, such as a dataset or a brief, so every candidate starts from the same material.
Each criterion gets a 0 to 100% score and a weight, and the question score is the weighted average. Bonus criteria are shown as notes only.
Grade with AI is on by default. Turn it off on the question, or only in one assessment, when you want your team to grade.
Full-screen exits are ignored on upload screens and do not count on file questions, because the system file picker exits full screen on its own.
Results break performance down by the skills linked to the question, next to the other tests in the assessment.
When the deliverable is code, use the Project question type: candidates deliver a repository built from a public Git repo or a .zip template.
Ask for an analysis, a forecast or a recommendation based on data you attach to the brief.
Ask for a solution proposal or a case study and see how the person reasons and presents.
A short assignment for finalists shows real work before the hiring manager interview.
Create a free Coodesh account and build your first file upload question with a scoring rubric.
The File question accepts submissions in PDF, and the platform validates each upload to block corrupted or invalid files. If the assignment involves a spreadsheet or a slide deck, tell candidates in the brief to export it to PDF. When the deliverable is code, use the Project question type instead, where the candidate delivers a full repository rather than a single file.
Against the criteria you add to the question, each with a name, a description and a weight from 1 to 5. The AI scores every criterion from 0 to 100% and calculates the weighted average. While it grades, the question shows as Processing in the result. If the AI cannot read the file, the question moves to manual review. You can also switch AI grading off and let your team grade.
No. The AI scores the criteria you defined, and that score supports the reviewer. Moving someone forward or ending their process is always a decision made by a person on your team, who can open the submission and check the per-criterion analysis first. Scores organize the work; people make the hiring decision.
You decide. Each question has its own time limit, and the assessment can have opening and closing dates plus an invitation expiry. You can also allow pauses by setting how many are allowed and the total pause time. During a pause the timer freezes and screen and webcam monitoring stop.
Yes. Once published, the question sits in Assessments › Library under My library, visible only to team members with permission, and you can add it to any future assessment. Its settings come from the library, and you can change the Grade with AI option for a single assessment without touching the original question.
