CodeSignal is a technical interview and assessment platform operated by American company BrainFights, Inc. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company has raised $87.5 million in total funding, with a Series C round in September 2021.[1]
History
CodeSignal, initially called CodeFights, was founded in 2014 [2][3] by Tigran Sloyan, Aram Shatakhtsyan, and Felix Desroches.
CodeFights provided a platform for developers to compete in head-to-head timed coding challenges.[4] In 2017, CodeFights began to offer an interview practice mode,[5] as well as a product for recruiters to connect with qualified technical candidates.[6]
In 2018, the company changed the name of its platform from CodeFights to CodeSignal, and introduced a Coding Score that developers could share with technical recruiters, based on assessments completed on CodeSignal.[7] Since then, the CodeSignal platform has expanded to offer a suite of technical interview and assessment products built on their patented assessment technology.
Platform

CodeSignal is a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) product that integrates with applicant tracking systems (ATS) like Greenhouse and Lever.
