Cool down with some refreshing product updates from the CodeSignal Product and Engineering teams! This month, we're highlighting two exciting new releases:
An upgrade to writing-type questions
If you're already leveraging CodeSignal's free-text questions, you know that they're a powerful tool for evaluating a variety of skills, like writing effective emails to customers.
This month, we took everything you love about free-text questions and added some major upgrades. You'll now have the ability to automatically grade responses based on a rich text analysis, making it easier to gather insights and compare responses. This upgraded question type, now called a Writing question, can reveal a candidate's skills in areas like customer or stakeholder interactions, internal emails and comms, and documentation.
Note that Writing questions are replacing free-text questions. Your existing free-text questions will not change, but you won't be able to duplicate or create new free-text questions.
Find out much more about working with Writing questions, including best practices, here: What is a Writing question?
An assortment of new assessments
This month, we have five new assessments ready to evaluate candidates across a variety of roles:
- CUDA Programming Assessment
- AWS Engineering Assessment
- GCP Engineering Assessment
- Cybersecurity Analyst Assessment
- General Typing Assessment
These new assessments join our library of Certified Assessments. That means each assessment is built from the ground up to eliminate manual question-building work while mitigating integrity concerns and reducing bias in the hiring process. The broad range of subject areas makes Certified Assessments a good fit when hiring for many positions, from non-technical to extremely technical roles.
