CoderPad is a collaborative coding platform designed for technical interviews. It allows interviewers and candidates to write, execute, and debug code in real-time. Here's how to effectively use it for interviewing:

1. Plan the Interview

• Define Core Skills: Identify the skills you want to evaluate (e.g., algorithms, debugging, system design).

• Prepare Questions: Use CoderPad’s Question Bank or create custom questions tailored to the role.

• Set Evaluation Criteria: Decide on grading metrics and how you’ll assist candidates if they get stuck.

2. Set Up the Interview

• Create a Pad: Log in to your CoderPad account. Navigate to the “Pad’s List” and click Create Pad. This opens an IDE-like environment where coding will take place.

• Configure Settings: Adjust editor preferences (e.g., font size, themes, key bindings like Vim/Emacs). Enable features like auto-save or auto-complete if needed.

3. Start the Interview
