This spring, CodeSignal is abuzz with new product updates and features. Our Product and Engineering teams have been busy making our platform more user-friendly and powerful than ever. This month, we’re highlighting two features that went live in March:
- Introducing: Agentic Coding Assessments
- Discover and author with Cosmo
- Updated assessment creation flow design
Introducing: Agentic Coding Assessments
We’re excited to release two new assessments purpose-built for hiring entry-level engineers. These assessments reimagine what it means to assess skills in an agentic world where engineers rely on AI tools to code. These innovative new assessments ask candidates to:
- Extract requirements
- Code a solution with an agentic helper (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex)
- Explain the work in a way a human can understand
In one assessment, candidates create a tool from scratch; in the other, candidates will build off an existing codebase.
Watch a demo of these groundbreaking new assessments:
Discover and author with Cosmo
Candidates and learners know and love Cosmo as CodeSignal’s built-in AI guide for navigating coding assessments and building new skills.
Now, we’ve launched Cosmo as an AI agent for company product users, too. Recruiters, hiring managers, and other company users can automate the entire assessment discovery and reaction process all through conversation instead of manual work.
With Cosmo’s help, you can now:
- Pick the right assessment and interview content for your roles, whether it’s finding the right question from our question library or picking a Certified Assessment
- Create new interview questions and assessments by simply telling Cosmo what you’re looking for—then, he’ll automatically go through the creation flow on your behalf
- Use Cosmo to navigate from question search to question creation in one unified user experience
