Prices for Triplebyte and Hired
Both Typlebye and Hired are free services. However, people must participate in a rigorous application process before they are accepted to the programs.
To apply to Triplebyte, candidates take an online quiz and complete a Google Hangouts interview. In this session, they will answer coding questions and participate in technical challenges. Those who pass the initial interview are invited to a 2-hour final round interview, which can be completed onsite or online. Triplebyte interviewers ask candidates a variety of behavioral and technical questions in order to determine their strengths.
Hired candidates must fill out an online profile, which also functions like an application. After completing the profile, successful candidates will start getting matched with companies. Those who do not have enough experience, or whose interests do not fit the jobs that are currently available, might not be accepted by Hired.
Ratings and reviews of Triplebyte and Hired
In general, online reviews of Typlebyte are fairly positive. Some people mentioned that entering the applicant pipeline can take quite some time, as there are not too many open interview slots for the virtual technical screen. Others noted that the interviews are difficult and can feel disjointed at times. But, many participants benefited from the feedback that they received after their interview, though a few people felt that the interviewers appeared bored or uninterested.
Online reviews of Hired are more mixed. Many Hired candidates benefited from working with the Hired talent advocate and successfully landed a job. But, people who were rejected by Hired were disappointed that the program did not offer feedback on their application materials. Some also mentioned that they received too many interviews at one time and struggled to keep up.
