CodeSignal’s Product and Engineering teams stayed busy this month with product enhancements across our platform, including a number of exciting changes that make our Advanced Assessment questions more realistic than ever. We’re highlighting two product updates for October:
Improved UI for built-in whiteboard
CodeSignal’s built-in whiteboard, available in our Interview product, enables candidates to communicate their ideas and knowledge of system design visually.
Now, CodeSignal’s whiteboard is even more user-friendly. Rather than requiring a candidate or interviewer to toggle between the whiteboard and the IDE, our whiteboard is now adjustable in your browser. Users can easily drag and resize the whiteboard to suit their working style.

New Tech Screen candidate portal
We have built a dedicated candidate portal for the CodeSignal Tech Screen product that serves as a “one-stop-shop” for Tech Screen candidates. Candidates can now perform all of the essential Tech Screen tasks—scheduling, rescheduling, canceling, and declining Tech Screen invitations—as well as review their past results and invitations, all in one place.
