Overall Satisfaction with CodeSignal

It is a seamless experience and I feel CodeSignal helps with the interview experience and in general screening for interviews. The question is rotated often and gives a new coding experience to students. I did solve many challenges a bit more on the code completion would help a lot. The coding problems on the 3rd and 4th question is quite a lot.
  • Solve coding
  • screening of candidates
  • Innovative question and screening
  • Code completion
  • More specific question for company, depending on the type of company
  • Help the company with more candidate overview
  • Screening
  • Coding problems help
  • Solution to hiring work
  • Hiring process is streamlines
  • Good candidates, technical sound
  • Good coding ethics and faster solution
The CodeSignal is suited in a scenario where coding challenges or more analytical challenges are used. This is good for a few rounds of screening. HackerRank gives good code completion but it does not help with the new innovative questions. CodeSignal inline help with statistics is quite great

Do you think CodeSignal delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with CodeSignal's feature set?

Yes

Did CodeSignal live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of CodeSignal go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy CodeSignal again?

Yes

The CodeSignal is suited in a scenario where coding challenges or more analytical challenges are used. This is good for a few rounds of screening. They could help candidates with more details on the question and in-person interviews. I feel this would help the coding sector and companies in a way it has not done before

Using CodeSignal

6 - Giving Coding exams for different companies
1 - Not sure of the whereabouts of the people with code signal but the skill is logical thinking
  • Coding challenges
  • Logical challenges and thinking
  • time execution and its statistics
  • More personalization as per users
  • More UI specific rounds
  • More design based one on one rounds
  • Add more users
  • Use it as one source stop to get more data
  • Add the details and requirement for Code signal to use and increase better
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

Evaluating CodeSignal and Competitors

Yes - I am not sure whether or not they have replaced but surely emerged as a big competitor. The coding rounds and online pool of screening are the most labour intensive for many companies and then they are unable to get talents screened. This way it should happen as the codesignal does a majority of the job here for them.
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
I am The coding rounds and online pool of screening are the most labor intensive for many companies and then they are unable to get talents screened. Hence the product feature of coding and product usability with AI screening the exams provides a lot of help and reputation. The product reputation is also giving a positive outlook to companies using them
If I had to do it again I would keep more question in rotation and provide more rounds of technical challenge. There are more challenge for UI engineer and facebook production engineer roles requiring UI roles and shell scripting and Networking knowledge. These all can be achieved by adding more dynamic rounds to code signal.

CodeSignal Support

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
ProsCons
Quick Resolution
Knowledgeable team
Kept well informed
Support cares about my success
Poor followup
Slow Initial Response
I have not till now, As I feel it is just working and if more features are added I could think of doing it but for now I would not like to spend more in the coding platform. If they become a one platform for all solution then I might consider doing it.
If I would have to answer it, I would say I have not used their support much. Once as the coding problems had multiple solutions I mentioned in an online chat and they were able to provide a quick resolution. But on-call support I have never faced.
