What is CodeSignal?

CodeSignal is an interview solution. Companies of all sizes can use CodeSignal’s Pre-Screen and Interview products to tap into underrepresented pools of candidates, increase speed-to-hire, and increase candidate pipeline yield. CodeSignal uses technology to predict a candidate’s interview performance. CodeSignal’s predictive assessments go beyond testing only for data structures and algorithms, instead they dive deep into subject-specific assessments. Assessments on CodeSignal’s platform support 38+ programming languages, provides an advanced real-world coding environment, coding scores, and utilize a proprietary AI-powered plagiarism check.


Overview of CodeSignal Features

CodeSignal offers tests in 38+ programming languages in a real life coding environment.

CodeSignal offers keystroke playback and an automated plagiarism checker. The ability to play back the candidate’s keystrokes means that their work can be evaluated by multiple members of the hiring team without the hassle of everyone attending the assessment live. Their AI plagiarism checker searches for suspicious results, such as similarities in candidate responses.

In addition to technical assessments, CodeSignal also offers assessments for Sales and Customer Support roles. Companies can automate their screens with AI-driven conversations that match company’s context and empower hiring managers to have better, more informed conversations. Companies are able to offer an interview experience with customized questions and role plays tailored to on-the-job scenarios, giving candidates a job-relevant assessment.

CodeSignal’s assessments can assist companies looking to diversify their teams. Companies can replace a resume screen, and the unconscious bias it may bring, with an assessment. Using assessment scores allow them companies to evaluate candidates purely on skill rather than any other factor.



Coding Tests


CodeSignal divides different coding tests up into unit test frameworks that assess a person’s technical skills. Examples of unit test frameworks include:


  • NUnit for .NET Framework

  • xUnit or NUnit for .NET Core

  • JUnit for Java

  • Mocha/Chai for JavaScript

  • PHPUnit for PHP

  • unittest for Python

  • RSpec for Ruby

  • UI tests using Galen

  • UI functionality tests using Puppeteer


Assessments can be set to run in a specific language, or can be language agnostic so that the candidate can complete the test in their preferred language.


Testing job-specific skills allow for companies to pre-screen based on candidate skills and helps to improve the interview to hire ratio, since only qualified candidates will be offered interviews.

  • Integrates with our ATS.
  • Works great for high volume hiring challenges.
Cons
  • Would like the option to allow candidates to skip certain questions if required. Maybe its there and I couldnt find it.
  • Interface could be a little nicer, its pretty janky at the moment.

  • CodeSignal is very effective at giving companies a third party way to efficiently screen candidates before moving them into their next rounds of interviewing
  • CodeSignal is effective at scoring and judging a candidate's technical competence with a reasonable margin of error
  • CodeSignal has a great support team that responds very quickly and handles issues adeptly
Cons
  • There have been some loopholes identified in terms of approaching the assessments, which can potentially compromise the integrity of the assessment.
  • CodeSignal's biggest problem for me is that you can't take an assessment again. You have to wait 14 days. This is tough because if you do a test for one company and you don't like your score, your only options are to send the bad score or wait to take another test which can be problematic due to the strict deadlines some companies impose.
  • CodeSignal could use a better way to prepare for the assessments within the website. Maybe like a 'module' on how to approach the test etc. This is because CodeSignal, while providing similar questions like the Leetcode website or the like, will occasionally ask questions that are far different from what is typical in tech interviewing websites.
