Cryptrain Blockchain Developers Technical Validation used in the Hiring Process

If you are a Blockchain Engineer chances are you’ve at least heard of Github and perhaps have even begun adding to the open source code of any relevant repo on the network. In the blockchain industry Github is arguably the foremost authority when considering guidance on technical proficiency displayed real-time.

Understanding this reality encouraged us to look out into the future so to say, and develop a process that would help get Blockchain Developers ready and qualified beforehand so that when job opportunities would come along, they’d already be ready to advance to a warm interview. To officialize things, we partnered with Github, and have access to public and hidden open source code submitted there.

Even though this is the case, we allow each of our Blockchain Developers to submit code snippets themselves, without involving ourselves in that part of the stepwise process.

While Github would certainly be considered the most recognized of Blockchain Developers and professional networks by most, there are other platforms which Cryptrain enables our Developers to put into the system.

Besides Github, Developers embarking in the validation process are empowered with the ability to plug in and submit their code from other platforms. Gitlab, LinkedIn and Stackoverflow are other platforms which we allow developers to connect and port code into for us to validate your skills and demonstrated ability to program at a specific engineering level.

In cases where Github/Gitlab or others are not as readily accessible, job seekers are able to schedule a coding assessment which will be used in the same capacity as is in reviewing previously written code. 30-45 minutes should be set aside to take the Coding Skills Screening.

In our job pool, whenever there’s a listing, Developers are able to take the coding assessment by scheduling it according to the best available times. The coding assessment provides a way, even for Engineers who are active on Github and other platforms, to opt in for a different style of assessment to be used in the validation process. It gives a great alternative.

An additional validation measure is by utilizing Code Snippet. Code snippet gives Developers the ability to copy and paste code they have previously written, and submit it for review through the network.

It is beneficial to note that the software at work within Code Snippet is sensitive and designed to recognize plagiarized code. There is also an additional requirement to explain why the Developer wrote the code the way they did. Comprehension and some degree of mastery will always be evaluated for in each of our validation methods.

The soft skills interview adds another degree of texture to our validation process. Soft skills are made up of recognized qualities which add to an individual’s ability to relate and connect with others.

Intercommunication and interpersonal skills, team and group skills, social skills and empathy make up some of the concepts which make up the variety of soft skills we test for during the interviewing part of the technical validation process.

We must ensure that our clients, the employers, are provided with blockchain professionals who will not only be able to program as requirements call for, but also have the ability to work together as and with the team.

Cryptrain keeps all of your data private. We adhere to all governing laws and regulations, and therefore comprehend the seriousness of maintaining a high degree of vigilance over data security. It is important that you know, at Cryptrain we never share any of your submitted code with any one. Your safety and privacy is of the utmost importance to us.
