Using URHIRED AI with CoderPad
CoderPad is a shared editor — the interviewer sees your keystrokes as you type. That changes how you should use the coding surface: read the approach, then type it yourself.
Audio
The call runs on a separate platform, usually Zoom or Meet. Audio capture follows that platform.
Screen sharing
CoderPad runs in a browser tab. You are usually not screen-sharing at all — the interviewer sees the pad directly through CoderPad's own sync.
URHIRED AI running alongside CoderPad: the CoderPad window on the left and the overlay on the right, with the coding surface open.

- 1
Snip the problem
Press ⌘⌥⇧G and drag over the problem statement. It goes straight to the coding surface.
- 2
Read the approach out loud
The response leads with a plain-English approach. Narrate that while you start typing.
- 3
Type, do not paste
The interviewer is watching keystrokes. A block of code appearing at once is obvious, and you want to be able to explain each line anyway.
- 4
Have complexity ready
It comes back with every solution. It is also the follow-up question every single time.
Surfaces that matter here
Worth knowing
- CoderPad syncs the editor content directly — the interviewer does not need your screen share to see your code.
- Because they see keystrokes, pace matters. Typing a full solution instantly reads very differently from working through it.
- CoderPad supports a run button. Use it — an untested solution is a weaker answer than a tested one.
Test before it counts
