    Advantages of this platform compared to other challenging sites:

    1. For hiring: instead of only relying on the final solution, we analyze the entire solution pathway to get visibility similar to a frontal interview. (for example: where the candidate got stuck, how long each step took them, detect cheating using anomaly detection, and more)

    2. A new experience: during the challenge, there is a virtual assistant (interviewer) that gives you hints when needed (for example, if it recognizes that you are stuck). This feature has a lot of advantages, both for practice(learning) and also for recruiters who want to give their candidates a full chance.

    3. The challenges: most of the challenges are more realistic and simulate real day-to-day skills.

    Take for example the challenge "repache" (https://platform.interway.ai/#/get/play_/ch/repache):

    You get a web server with a "bug" in the configuration, and you try different ways to tackle it, while the virtual interviewer sees your progress and makes sure you are on the right track.

    Thanks. Would appreciate feedback :)
