We offer multiple options for creating CodeSignal interview sessions. If you are using an ATS, you can create an interview directly in your ATS without switching between platforms. This article will cover creating interview links via:
Option 1: Use the CodeSignal Chrome Extension
Regardless of which ATS (Applicant Tracking System) you may use, you can create CodeSignal interview sessions quickly from your Google Chrome browser.
Step 1. Add the CodeSignal Chrome Extension to your Chrome Browser.
Step 2. Log in to your company's CodeSignal account.
Step 3. Once logged into CodeSignal, you can click the CodeSignal Chrome Extension icon from any webpage.
Step 4. Click CREATE INTERVIEW LINK.
Step 5. Fill out any relevant fields:
- Candidate's name
- Labels
- Team ownership
- Interview template. You can also choose to lock the template at this stage, which means that an interviewer cannot change the template associated with this interview session.
Then, click CREATE.
Step 6. Copy the newly created link to your clipboard and share it with your interviewer(s) and candidate!
Your previously created interview links can be referenced any time you click on the Chrome extension.
Option 2: Create the interview session from the CodeSignal Interview page
Step 1. Go to the Interview tab.
Step 2. Click the + CREATE INTERVIEW button. In the Create an Interview pop-up, you have the option to add the following:
- Candidate name
- Labels
- Interview template. You can also choose to lock the template at this stage, which means that an interviewer cannot change the template associated with this interview session.
- Team ownership
Click GO TO INTERVIEW on the left to enter the interview session, or click CREATE if you do not need to access the interview immediately.
Step 3. Click Copy in the bottom right to copy the interview URL to your clipboard and share it with both the candidate and the interviewer. Both will use the same link to access the interview session.
Adding the candidate's name will help you easily find them on the interview dashboard. If you did not do this in Step 2, can add this information later from your interview dashboard by clicking the Pencil icon next to the candidate.
If you need to reference the link at a later time, you may easily do so by finding the candidate on your Interview dashboard. Click on the link icon to copy the interview URL to your clipboard.
Option 3: Create the interview session directly in Greenhouse (if applicable)
If you are using Greenhouse as your company's ATS, you have the ability to create interview sessions directly in Greenhouse. Doing so will save you time since you can operate solely in Greenhouse vs. switching back and forth between CodeSignal and Greenhouse.
We have an entire article dedicated to creating interview sessions in Greenhouse. You can view the Greenhouse steps here.
Option 4: Create the interview session directly in Lever (if applicable)
If you are using Lever as your company's ATS, you have the ability to create interview links directly within Lever. Doing so will prevent extra steps and allow you to operate directly within Lever to create interview sessions.
As with Greenhouse, we have an entire article dedicated to creating interview sessions in Lever directly. Please view the Lever steps here.
We want to save you time while also providing options when it comes to creating interview sessions. Let us know if you work with an ATS not mentioned above!
