Show HN: TestRelay – open source technical interviewing platform

I built TestRelay as an open source alternative solution to the likes of hackerrank, codility, e.t.c. I made this to solve two main pain points I’ve have with the majority of technical interviewing platforms:
1. They focus heavily on short algorithm challenges - these aren't anywhere close to what the majority of engineers work on day to day.
2. They're incredibly expensive…
TestRelay is an attempt to solve these issues. TestRelay allows you to write your own domain specific technical tests, whilst providing the power of automated scheduling and test running. Furthermore, TestRelay is 100% open source and free to use, allowing even small teams to have a robust interviewing strategy.
My hope is that by making this open source and easily accessible more companies will have an better time hiring without breaking the bank.
TestRelay is currently in Alpha and comes with these features:
- Recruitment Portal - An easy-to-use dashboard to manage your candidates, reviewers and technical tests.
- Version Control Your Tests - Store your technical tests directly in version control. TestRelay automatically keeps up to date with the latest changes.
- Scheduling Management - TestRelay seamlessly takes care of finding a date and time for candidates to sit your technical test.
- Candidate Portal - Provide candidates a simple interface for managing their upcoming test and make sure they notify you about any scheduling changes.
- Secure Test Environments - Automated access control to generated technical test repos.
As I said - the platform is in Alpha - which means there’s likely to be bugs. So please be mindful of that when using the product and consider supporting with the development effort by:
