CodeSignal is a technical interview and assessment platform operated by American company BrainFights, Inc. It was founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco.
History
CodeSignal, initially called CodeFights, was founded in 2014 [1][2] by Tigran Sloyan, Aram Shatakhtsyan, and Felix Desroches.
CodeFights provided a platform for developers to compete in head-to-head timed coding challenges.[3] In 2017, CodeFights began to offer an interview practice mode.[4]
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.[5]
Platform
The CodeSignal platform consists of Tech Screen, Pre-Screen, and Interview products used by technical recruiters and hiring managers to source and qualify candidates for software engineering positions. Users select from a bank of coding tasks, create custom coding questions, or use a skills assessment framework like the General Coding Assessment (GCA). CodeSignal is a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) product that integrates with applicant tracking systems (ATS) like Greenhouse and Lever.
