Frequently asked
questions
What are business skills assessments?
Does CodeSignal integrate with our ATS?
Yes, we integrate with all major applicant tracking systems including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, JazzHR, and others. Send assessments directly from your ATS and automatically sync results to candidate profiles.
How do you prevent cheating on remote assessments?
We protect hiring integrity with built-in identity verification and plagiarism detection for remote assessments. Our expert-designed assessments are validated by I-O Psychologists and use realistic simulations that are difficult to game.
How quickly do hiring teams see assessment results?
If they’ve opted into proctoring, our AI proctoring can turn around verified results in one hour. Hiring teams see detailed skills reports with an overall score and skill-level detail that help teams focus on qualified candidates and make faster hiring decisions.
What ROI can we expect from CodeSignal?
Organizations using CodeSignal typically evaluate 2-4x more applicants per role on average, save thousands of hours for hiring teams, and see candidates who pass with 4-6x higher chance of receiving an offer. Teams also report less manual work for recruiters and hiring managers, wider candidate reach, and better job fit that reduces mis-hires and early attrition.
How long does it take to implement business skills assessments?
On average, we see it taking a matter of weeks for most customers. Select from our library of ready-to-use assessments for popular business roles, integrate with your ATS, and start sending invitations. Our customer success team provides support throughout the process.
Can we use business skills assessments for current employees?
While CodeSignal business skills assessments are designed for pre-hire evaluation, they can also help identify skill gaps in current employees, inform professional development programs, and support internal mobility decisions. The same simulations that evaluate candidates can reveal where existing team members need additional training or would excel in different roles.
