Case Study: Figma improves hiring speed and diversity with Byteboard

How Figma is Growing their University Programs

Figma, the San Francisco-based design company, launched a University Program to build a more inclusive pipeline for internships and new grad hiring. To support this effort, Figma partnered with Byteboard and used Byteboard’s technical assessment product to improve candidate evaluation while reducing the engineering and recruiting time required for technical interviews.

By implementing Byteboard as an early-stage technical screen, Figma streamlined its hiring process and improved the candidate experience with a fairer, more consistent evaluation of real-world skills. The results included a 10-day reduction in time to hire, increased pass-through rates, and higher underrepresented candidate hiring, helping Figma bring in interns and recent graduates from more universities and backgrounds.
