### Frequently asked questions

**How does CodeSignal help teams hire faster?**  
CodeSignal’s streamlined assessment process reduces hiring time by up to 60%. By replacing traditional resume screening and multiple interview rounds with standardized, skills-based evaluations, teams can identify qualified candidates in real coding environments. This means you see actual technical capabilities in days, not weeks.

**What is skills-based hiring?**  
Skills-based hiring evaluates candidates on real technical abilities and proven capabilities rather than credentials, years of experience, or educational background. CodeSignal enables this through live coding assessments, role-aligned simulations, and industry-verified skill validation, giving you objective proof of technical proficiency instead of resume assumptions.

**Which coding skills does CodeSignal evaluate?**  
CodeSignal assesses technical capabilities across 40+ programming languages and all skill levels. Evaluations cover advanced problem-solving, algorithm implementation, debugging ability, and code quality. Additionally, role-specific AI simulations let you assess candidates in realistic job scenarios, whether for front-end development, back-end systems, full-stack roles, or specialized domains.

**Can universities use CodeSignal to prepare students for technical jobs?**  
Yes. CodeSignal helps institutions bridge the gap between academic learning and workplace readiness. Universities can run industry-aligned assessments to identify skills gaps, signal graduate readiness to employers with verified credentials, and provide students with job-relevant skill validation that goes beyond grades and resumes.

**How does CodeSignal protect assessment integrity?**  
CodeSignal protects hiring integrity through layered safeguards including identity verification, plagiarism detection, proctoring options, code originality analysis and monitoring. This approach ensures assessment results genuinely reflect candidate capabilities, giving you confidence that technical evaluations are valid and trustworthy.

**Does CodeSignal integrate with applicant tracking systems?**  
Yes. CodeSignal integrates with all major ATS platforms, including Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and JazzHR. Assessment invitations send directly from your ATS and results sync back to candidate profiles automatically. SSO and API access are also available for teams that need custom configurations.
