CodeSignal vs. HireVue

I think code signal is one of the best platforms for organizations to better test the resource for their coding skills. Its way of conducting the test saves engineering time, reduces the risks that hiring companies have in technical interviews, and provides a cheating-free environment. The platform can be improved to make the new learners practice well on the platform and get used to it.

HireVue was very well suited for my interviewing process with my current company for both my initial hire and my lateral move within the organization. It was very convenient given where I am geographically located to interview with our corporate office in Rhode Island. It provided the convenience of interviewing remotely for the opening posted.

• The test cases are quite well-written, and the grade we earn as a result of them is very fair. Users can use a unit testing tool to perform their own unit testing, allowing them to double-check their code before submitting it.
• Intensive technical interview preparation
• The online evaluation option is an excellent approach to assess candidates.
• Simple UI for Simple Operations

• OnDemand Interviews is a great feature that lets you set up video/multiple choice/codevue questions. You send it to the candidates and they are able to take the interview on their time and in the comfort of their own home.
• HireVue and HireVue Pro apps. This is a great tool for manager and candidates to take/review interviews on the go.
• HireVue has the ability to upload candidates via a CVS file, which is nice when you have tons of applicants.

• Random questions are useful for practicing, but I believe they should be separated into easy, medium, and difficult levels, with a random generator to assist new coders without demotivating them.
• The interval between assessments is a little longer this time. It should, in my opinion, be decreased in a way that benefits everyone.
• For the technical assessment round, there is no specific solution. I will not receive a solution if I am unable to solve that question during this time. At the end of the job, a suggestion generator can be used to solve the problem and understand the way of doing it.

• I would like to be able to add more than one person to a video at once. Yes it's easy now, I just think it would be easier to blast through all of the info then hit "save."
• Not sure why it says "save" instead of "send" when sending out a video interview.
• I'm really trying to find weaknesses and that is why tried to be picky... If I had one more weakness I'd say I want a way to delete old users from showing up. Archiving is not good enough. There should be a delete button.

The overall ease of use and selection does a good job for it. The focus on design and other aspects would be super helpful in reducing the cost overhead of hiring a new person. Even though we need to take interviews still the screening process is reduced drastically. A bit more UI focus would evolve Code Signal

The company is currently looking into other ATS systems, with that we aren't sure the need to continue to use HireVue.

The UI of configuring CodeSignal for a non-technical screener can be tricky to navigate at first. Once you get the hang of the platform and how to master customization, it becomes a much smoother experience. However, some restrictions to search functions and reporting still need improvement.

Because it's pretty much a "plug and play" solution.

Yes, the staff has been very quick

Yes, pages load quickly, reports comes in a reasonable time frame, only when CodeSIgnal integrates, it provide small glitches.

I am not sure whether or not they have replaced but surely emerged as a big competitor. Their support system should be good knowing that they are in completion with the best hackerrank. I feel they could do a much better job but I have not used their support much

Incentivized

It has clear details for every staff to understand the basic, and staffs can communicate efficiently to provide strong backgrounds. Also, the manager who provided this training has collaborated well with the Codesignal staff so that everyone could learn more about CodeSignal and look at it from different users' perspectives. So the training was really helpful

Incentivized

I think it has the essential knowledge to refresh for staffs before the in-person training.

No, everything went pretty well with no hiccups

The pricing for CodeSignal was more in line with what our expectations for this product would be. We were also able to trial it out before buying and everyone on our team liked it. Lastly, it also came recommended from someone in our organization who had used it in a previous company.

HireVue isn't really in the same category at the other programs I listed so it's hard to compare them because they are all leveraged for very different purposes. HireVue was selected (to my knowledge) for its ease of use and the video interview recording function and I haven't had any major issues with the platform so I think it performs fine, but there's always room for improvement.

It works on multiple departments.

Incentivized

• My coding abilities have vastly increased and continue to assist me in improving.
• It smooths down the screening process, and because the administered appraisals are verified by CodeSignal, the results of the evaluations are guaranteed to be accurate.
• Because of their verifiable experience, more people can be hired.

Incentivized

• Time to fill has been reduced/ shortened since we are able to screen more candidates quicker.
• Time to schedule has been shortened as candidates are able to self-schedule their own interviews with a hiring manager; no more chasing people through phone calls to coordinate multiple schedules.
• Candidate reach has been greatly enhanced - we can reach more candidates than we ever could with traditional phone screening.
