Alternatives Considered

HackerRank, Codacy and CodeMonkey

CodeSignal provides UI UX that is far more optimized than any other product on the market; the IDE itself has a multitude of options that aren’t available anywhere else. It functions as an end to end assessment system whereas the others are missing critical features that businesses require to make informed decisions.

Likelihood to Recommend

For most development roles, it is quite easy to set up a CodeSignal and it is often effective in filtering candidates in early stages. As a candidate; CodeSignal provides a well oiled user experience and acts as a method to set oneself apart from other candidates. In later stages CodeSignal has less efficacy in differentiating; it might be better to customize to your needs at this point.
