What is CodeSignal?
CodeSignal is a platform from CodeSignal, Inc. for measuring and building job skills. On the hiring side it offers assessments for software engineering, data, product, design, go-to-market, finance and other functions, including agentic assessments in which candidates work with AI coding tools. AI Interviewer agents conduct structured interviews tailored to a role and seniority level, and teams can pick a ready-made agent or create their own. Live technical interviews take place in a shared coding environment. Integrity tools cover AI proctoring, identity verification, a suspicion score and plagiarism prevention. The Learn product provides practice-based courses with a built-in tutor named Cosmo for individuals, teams and enterprises. Hiring plans are called Build, Grow and Pro and are sold with credits that are spent on assessments and interviews; integrations with applicant tracking systems and an API are available on higher tiers.
