Proctored coding assessments your team doesn't have to grade.
Candidates solve a real problem in a live editor and talk through their approach. Talsense runs the assessment, proctors it, and returns an AI-graded score for correctness, code quality, reasoning, and integrity — as one stage in the same hiring funnel.

Take-home tests and live coding screens both leak.
Talsense keeps the early hiring workflow structured, explainable, and reviewable so teams can move faster without losing the context behind each candidate.
Unproctored take-homes can't tell you who actually wrote the code.
Live coding screens burn senior-engineer hours on early-stage candidates.
A pass/fail test result doesn't show how a candidate reasons through a problem.
How Talsense runs a coding assessment
- 1
Candidate solves in a live editor
A real problem in a code editor across Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C++, C#, or Go — with sample tests they can run as they go and a single final submission.
- 2
Fully proctored, think-aloud
Camera and screen are recorded, identity is verified with a liveness check, and the session is locked to fullscreen on a single monitor. Candidates explain their approach aloud as they work.
- 3
AI grades the evidence
Talsense scores correctness against visible and hidden tests, plus code quality, spoken reasoning, and efficiency — and reports integrity risk separately so it never quietly inflates ability.
What hiring teams can verify
Deterministic correctness
The execution score comes from real test cases, not a model's guess.
Reasoning, not just output
The AI reviews how the candidate worked through the problem, captured on camera and screen.
Integrity kept separate
Proctoring risk is reported on its own and never blended into the coding score.
Questions teams ask
Does the AI decide who passes?
No. Talsense grades the assessment and flags integrity risk; your hiring team decides who advances. The score is evidence, not a verdict.
Which languages are supported?
Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, C#, and Go, with the candidate's solution run against real test cases.
How is cheating handled?
Assessments are proctored with camera and screen recording, an identity liveness check, and fullscreen/single-monitor enforcement. Serious violations end the session, and integrity risk is reported separately from the coding score.
