In code, we trust.
WHY CODE?
Code is the new resume.
Great devs write good, clean code. But in a world of potential, they write code just once. They take a Geektrust coding challenge.
The process
Get, set, code.
Companies
Meet companies that love clean code.
More and more companies are realising that résumés shape neither their future nor yours. If you’re looking for a job, choose one that will let you do what you’re good at.
You won't believe me if I say this. I took the Frontend challenge exactly 3 years back when I was a fresher. I earned a bronze membership and there were a few comments which I worked on later and realised the importance over a period of time. Recently I was made available new opportunities with my old code. I got calls from a few companies and I landed a job at Scripbox.
My resume was a Java code that ticked the boxes on the "Geektrust checklist for clean code" and that's what got me an interview with ThoughtWorks. The entire interview process and onboardings later on were absolutely smooth and well coordinated.
Using Geektrust to find a job really turned out to be very fruitful. Because with 1 coding challenge I could demonstrate all my skills which we cannot in an hour of interview. I could present myself in the best possible way. The whole process is very smooth.
The first time I wrote code on Geektrust, I didn't get a great score. I got some feedback, and I solved and submitted again. The structure of the challenges is also great – I feel like it’s a real world problem when I sit down to solve. It’s complex and awesome. Today my code is more flexible. It’s not like other platforms – though the journey wasn’t easy, I found good companies. And I believe good things don’t come easy.
I had to struggle for almost 14 months. After several failed attempts, I stumbled upon Geektrust on LinkedIn. I solved the ‘Family’ problem, and companies started approaching me. This happened just like a magic. Most importantly, most of the companies on Geektrust look for logically and technically sound candidates.
The job search was easier because companies have my code. The first screening is not with a resume but with code. Makes things really simple.
I had solved a coding challenge soon after signing up and improved my score later when I decided to look for a job. I had a really good job-search experience. Great interactions with my points of contact from Geektrust who guided me through the interview process and clarified my questions about different companies. There’s no chance of getting ghosted.
I really liked the idea of solving a coding problem and that being used as a baseline for judging your skill as a software developer for further interviews. Applying via Geektrust feels like a much more efficient and skill-focused process. It probably took less than half the time it takes through a regular job portal, and definitely more streamlined, and efficient.
I solved the challenge on Geektrust and got feedback on my code. It had a very positive impact on me. To some extent it has changed my programming. If you want to improve your coding ability, get reviews from some of the best in the industry, and want to get hired by a company which has similar philosophy about programming as you do, try Geektrust. You will not be disappointed.

Help & community
We're here to help!
I love the fact that on Geektrust I am not limited by time to prove myself with quality, clean code. Also later, during the interview process, I realised that recruiters trust profiles from Geektrust. The way the problem statements are designed does not just end with submitting code - it's the common ground for the interviewer and you to focus on your skills during the tech rounds.
