I think a bigger value I see with your product is replacing leetcode challenges with something like this. We often give take home assignments to our potential candidates and this would be a great fit, if the platform had features around code evaluation, ephemeral environment with seeded data that would be great. I think that is quite a big market too.
Glad you mentioned this - Hackattic was in fact one of our early inspirations to start CodeCrafters :) I thoroughly enjoyed going through the challenges there: https://hackattic.com/u/rohitpaulk.
Good insight, we've been suggested that using CodeCrafters for onboarding engineers increases your overall talent pool (hire language agnostically, then internally train engineers in your target language).
In the absence of leetcode-style challenges, what do your current take-home assignments look like? Do they test for skills specific to your domain, or are they agnostic?
Key thing we look for in a candidate is the ability to solve real world problem. We are an early stage startup, so most of the people we hire has to a broad spectrum of knowledge which I think is hard to capture with leetcode. Ideally we would like to capture their networking skills, programming skills, operational skill, understanding computer science basics etc. I think we would definitely pay subscription for a service like this as lot of grunt work is currently is done by us.
