What is takethishome?
takethishome is a candidate scoring platform for technical hiring. Instead of a predefined quiz or a coding test, candidates step into a simulated technical environment — real tools, real systems, real problems, all in the browser. Every run is scored automatically against the competencies the role actually needs, and the results land on the platform, or in the tools your team already uses.
What kind of challenges do candidates get?
Each challenge is built for a specific role and plays out as one continuous scenario that develops as the candidate works — they investigate, prioritise and decide, rather than answer questions. It's short enough for a single sitting, not a multi-day unpaid marathon, and genuinely fun to complete.
How is this different from a coding test or an assessment quiz?
A quiz or a coding test tells you whether someone can produce a known answer to a defined problem. Real technical work is rarely that tidy — the problem is ambiguous, the information is incomplete, and you have to decide what matters first. Our scenarios are built around exactly that, so you see how someone thinks and works under realistic conditions, not just whether they hit the expected output.
What roles do you support today?
We're starting with technical support and adjacent technical roles, with software engineering next. If you're hiring for something we don't cover yet, tell us on LinkedIn — pre-launch is exactly when that feedback shapes the roadmap.
What do I get back for each candidate?
A breakdown across the competencies the role calls for — not a single score — plus how far they got. Because every applicant works the same scenario, the results are directly comparable, so you can shortlist on evidence instead of gut feel, before booking a single interview.
How does this reduce bias in screening?
Scoring never sees a person — no name, no CV, no photo, none of the signals bias usually travels on. Every applicant works the identical scenario under the same conditions and is measured on the same competencies, so results are comparable on merit. And because it runs before the résumé screen, candidates are judged on what they can do rather than where they've worked or studied.
How do candidates access it?
Everything runs in the browser — candidates just open your link. Nothing to install, and no account to create with us. You drop that link straight into a job posting, so applicants can take it from the very first stage, on their own time. It's one link for the role — no per-candidate invites to generate or chase — and each run gives the candidate a unique code they keep, which is how their result is identified later.
Do you monitor or proctor candidates?
No webcam, no screen recording, no keystroke logging, no lockdown browser — none of the surveillance these tools usually bring. Candidates work in their own environment, the way they would on the job. The signal comes from what they actually do in the scenario, not from watching how they do it.
How is candidate data handled?
None is collected. No name, no email, no profile — candidates stay anonymous to us. A run is identified only by the candidate's own code, which they share with you to claim it, so you can match results to applicants without any personal data ever reaching us.
