The AI Collaboration Assessment Platform

Hire engineers who think with AI

Resumes and LeetCode can't measure what matters most in 2026 — how effectively engineers collaborate with AI. ArcEval gives candidates a real AI coding assistant and scores exactly how they use it.

Traditional assessments are broken

85% of developers now use AI coding assistants daily. Yet every major hiring platform still tests candidates in isolation — banning the very tools they'll use on the job.

LEGACY APPROACH
  • xAlgorithmic puzzles that don't reflect real work
  • xAI tools banned — testing a reality that no longer exists
  • xPass/fail scoring with no insight into problem-solving process
  • xCandidates memorize solutions — high false positive rates
ARCEVAL APPROACH
  • +Real-world challenges that mirror actual engineering tasks
  • +AI assistant included — test the skill that actually matters
  • +8-dimension analysis of problem-solving and AI collaboration
  • +Every prompt, edit, and decision captured — impossible to fake

How it works

Three steps from challenge to comprehensive AI-collaboration report.

01

Create a Challenge

Design timed coding challenges in minutes. Choose from templates or create custom assessments tailored to your role.

02

Share One Link

Send a single assessment link to all candidates. They enter their details and begin immediately — no account setup required.

03

Get AI-Scored Reports

Every interaction is captured and analyzed. Receive detailed scoring across 8 dimensions with side-by-side candidate comparisons.

A real engineering environment

Candidates work in a sandboxed terminal with a real AI coding assistant. No multiple choice. No contrived puzzles. Real engineering.

candidate@sandbox:/workspace
$ claude "Help me implement a rate limiter using a sliding window algorithm"
I'll implement a sliding window rate limiter. Let me start by designing the
data structure and then build the middleware...
$ npm test
Running 18 test cases...
All tests passed (18/18)

Every prompt, response, and command is recorded and analyzed by our AI scoring engine.

8 dimensions of AI collaboration

Go beyond pass/fail. Understand exactly how each candidate thinks, communicates, and collaborates with AI.

{}

Problem Decomposition

Can the candidate break complex problems into AI-solvable chunks?

>>>

First-Principles Thinking

Do they ground their prompts in fundamental understanding?

***

Creative Problem Solving

Do they find novel approaches to prompt construction?

<=>

Iteration Quality

Can they refine AI outputs through intelligent follow-ups?

!?

Debugging with AI

How effectively do they identify and resolve AI-generated issues?

#[]

Architecture Decisions

Do they structure code well for AI-assisted development?

...

Communication Clarity

How precise and effective is their human-AI dialogue?

->>

Token Efficiency

Do they minimize tokens while maximizing output quality?

Built for every engineering role

Whether you're hiring full-stack developers, backend specialists, frontend experts, data engineers, or DevOps teams — ArcEval has purpose-built challenges for each discipline.

Full-Stack

End-to-end engineers who work across the entire stack.

5 templates

Backend

Server-side engineers building APIs, services, and infrastructure.

5 templates

Frontend

UI/UX engineers building responsive, accessible interfaces.

5 templates

Data / ML

Engineers building data pipelines, ML systems, and analytics.

5 templates

DevOps / Platform

Infrastructure engineers managing deployments, CI/CD, and reliability.

5 templates

Sample challenge templates

Every challenge is designed to require iterative problem-solving with AI — they cannot be solved with a single prompt. Candidates must debug, reason, and adapt.

Fix the Broken Checkout Flow

An e-commerce checkout has 5 interrelated bugs across frontend validation, API error handling, database transactions, and Stripe integration. Fixing one bug reveals the next — requiring systematic debugging across React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

Add Real-Time Collaboration to a Doc Editor

A working collaborative document editor has no live presence. Add WebSocket-based cursor tracking, user avatars, and operational-transform conflict resolution to an existing Slate.js + Express codebase without breaking the save pipeline.

Debug the Performance Crisis

A full-stack dashboard loads in 14 seconds. The candidate must identify and fix N+1 queries in the API, excessive React re-renders, a missing database index, an uncompressed 3MB bundle, and a memory-leaking useEffect — each fix depends on profiling the previous one.

Implement Multi-Tenant Data Isolation

An existing SaaS app is leaking data between tenants. The candidate must audit the codebase, implement row-level security in PostgreSQL, scope API middleware, fix the frontend context provider, and verify isolation with existing test suites — all without breaking current functionality.

Migrate REST Endpoints to GraphQL

Convert 6 REST endpoints to a GraphQL API while keeping the existing REST routes working for backward compatibility. Requires understanding the data model, designing the schema, implementing resolvers with DataLoader for batching, and updating the React frontend to use Apollo Client.
