Overall Satisfaction with CodeSignal

CodeSignal is primarily used as a tool for hiring by software engineering roles. Provides a good standardization of the initial skill level for software developers which can be used by the company to screen the candidates. It provided a good way for employers to screen candidates. I have used it as a consumer and not for hire.
  • Initial screening of low quality candidates
  • Feedback around speed, skill, and accuracy of the candidate
  • Provides a practice center that can be useful for training for candidates.
  • UI is a bit confusing . I mean the pop out flow for accepting/rejecting a test. I had mistakenly rejected a company test and there was no way to even revert.
  • Should have a better question difficulty level mapping. I scored 829 and 847 in separate tests and many companies only screen 840+ students. Either the customer(company) should be made aware of the variance of scores of good candidates of the platform or the variance of the scores for same candidate can be reduced by better problem setting.
  • Screen candidate
  • Practice test
  • Other metrics for screening
It has a better marking system and evaluates different parameters as compared to other platforms. I didn't really select the platform as I am user who gave tests. It was mandatory for me to use the platform to qualify for interviews. CodeSignal does have a good UI and ease of use. The marking scheme is also different.

Do you think CodeSignal delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

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

CodeSignal is more suited to screen low level programmers and the scores of candidates should not be taken at face value. The variance of scores for same candidate tends to be there for a same skilled programmer. Educate the customer on how to perform the product better by making them aware of its shortcomings.
