Frequently asked
questions
Is CodeSignal available on government or GSA contract vehicles?
Yes. CodeSignal’s skills assessments and training are available through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (Contract No. 47QRAA26D0008), and we’re listed in the GSA eLibrary as a Small Business, giving government buyers a streamlined procurement path.
Is CodeSignal compliant with EEOC and OFCCP guidelines?
Yes. Our Certified Assessments are validated by I-O psychologists for fairness and consistency, and we provide the supporting documentation customers need for EEOC and OFCCP compliance.
What types of government agencies use skills-based hiring, and does it scale from single programs to enterprise-wide initiatives?
CodeSignal supports federal, state, local, education, and workforce development organizations, from a single high-priority hiring initiative to multi-year, agency-wide workforce modernization efforts.
How does skills-based hiring work in government?
CodeSignal measures what candidates can actually do through hands-on tasks instead of resumes or self-reported experience. Assessments map to job-relevant skills and are validated by I-O psychologists, so government agencies surface qualified people sooner, with up to 60% faster hiring and 2 to 4 times more applicants evaluated on average.
How can skills-based assessments support federal hiring modernization?
Yes. We already partner with OPM on the TechForce initiative, replacing self-reported qualifications with validated skills assessments, and that same approach extends to AI, cyber, and other mission-critical roles.
How can government agencies improve the candidate experience in hiring?
Long, unclear processes are where government agencies lose good candidates. CodeSignal keeps people engaged with a fast, fair experience: clear expectations, role-relevant tasks, and a level playing field based on skills. Nine out of ten candidates rate CodeSignal interviews positively.
Can skills assessments support internal mobility and skills-gap analysis, not just external hiring?
Yes. Beyond hiring, government agencies use CodeSignal to assess their current workforce, map proficiency across teams and roles, pinpoint gaps, and support internal mobility and reskilling through CodeSignal Learn, making it a foundation for agency-wide modernization.
Does CodeSignal have a presence in Washington, D.C.?
Yes. CodeSignal has public sector advisory support in the Capital Region to help agency leaders, partners, and government buyers align our capabilities to mission needs, workforce priorities, and procurement pathways, with team members regionally supporting state governments across the country.
