How UnitedHealth Group embraces AI-forward hiring with CodeSignal
Challenge
UnitedHealth Group (UHG) is one of the largest global healthcare companies. As UHG’s technology organization embraced AI tools as part of engineers’ day-to-day workflows, Talent Acquisition needed a way to evaluate candidates’ real-world capabilities in this new environment. The team also needed consistent, well-defined skill standards and a more structured approach to assessment—without straining recruiting resources.
Solution
UHG partnered with CodeSignal to bring structure, best practices, and modern assessment capabilities into their technical hiring process. CodeSignal worked closely with UHG to define skill levels, calibrate requirements, and introduce a shared lexicon grounded in industry standards. This partnership helped UHG establish a clear baseline for evaluating engineering talent and accelerate implementation across teams.
A major milestone was launching an AI-assisted coding assessment to align UHG’s evaluation process with how engineers actually use AI in their work today. The assessment provided a realistic, future-ready way to understand candidates’ ability to leverage AI in context. CodeSignal also contributes ongoing benchmarking support to help UHG evolve their evaluation model over time.
