Your first hires
You're the recruiter, the hiring manager, and the interviewer. You need a process that works by next week, not next quarter.
Hiring across the team
You're hiring for engineering, sales, and CS at the same time. Every posting brings 400 applications you don't have time to screen.
Enterprise scale
You need custom question creation, SSO, and a Talent Science partner in your corner. We'll move you over, with your data intact.
Real teams getting real results

Frequently asked
questions
What is a credit?
A credit is calculated as an assessment, an AI interview or a live interview started by a candidate. Credits are not calculated based on the amount of assessments, AI interviews, or live interviews sent, but rather when they are started by a candidate. The Build and Grow plans come with a certain amount of available credits, which can be interchangeably consumed by assessments, AI interviews, or live interviews. You can keep track of your credit usage on your account Billing page.
Can I go over my plan's credit limit?
The Build and Grow plans come with a certain amount of available credits. Once this limit is reached, you can continue consuming on-demand credits, which are charged at $20 per credit. You will be billed for on-demand credits at the next billing cycle. You can keep track of your plan and on-demand credit usage on your account Billing page.
What assessments are included in the Build and Grow plans?
For a detailed look at exactly which assessments are included in each plan, visit our Assessment Explorer and filter down the content by plan.
What AI Interviewers are available in the Build and Grow plans?
AI Interviewers for the following domains are available on the Build plan: Design, Product & Engineering.
AI Interviewers for the following domains are available on the Grow plan: Design, Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success & Marketing.
All other AI Interviewers are available on the Enterprise plan.
What is a skills assessment?
A skills assessment shows you whether a candidate can actually do the job, before you interview them. You send a short, role-specific evaluation, like a coding task, a writing prompt, or a sales scenario, and get back a scored report on the skills that matter for the role. Every CodeSignal assessment is built and validated by I-O psychologists, so the score reflects real on-the-job ability, not test-taking skill.
What's the difference between an AI interview and a live interview?
An AI interview is a structured conversation our AI Interviewer runs with the candidate. They answer questions on their own schedule, no calendar coordination needed, and you get back a transcript and a skills report.
A live interview is you and the candidate together in a shared coding environment, in real time. You can pair program, whiteboard, talk through their approach, and see how they think.
Most teams use both: AI interviews at the top of the funnel to screen volume, live interviews later for the candidates worth a deeper look.
