What SkillJudge is
SkillJudge evaluates job candidates’ real work and structured interview answers, then produces scorecards and ranked shortlists. It can assess coding challenges, role-specific tasks, and structured interview responses across engineering, data, sales, support, and product roles. Each scorecard combines an overall grade, per-skill sub-scores, and rationale linked to evidence. Hiring teams make the final decision and can override or re-rank AI scores. Team calibration is available, and higher plans add custom rubrics. Starter costs $99 a month billed monthly, or $984/yr billed annually, with two hiring seats and 50 scored candidates per month. Growth costs $249 a month billed monthly, or $2496/yr billed annually, with five seats and 200 candidates. Scale costs $599 a month billed monthly, or $5988/yr billed annually, with 15 seats and 750 candidates. Enterprise has custom pricing, unlimited seats, custom volume, SSO, and audit logs. SkillJudge is web-based, offers a free trial, and has no free plan.
