Case Study: Evernote achieves successful hire of developer Marcus Currie with CodeSignal

Evernote - Customer Case Study

Evernote faced the common hiring challenge of identifying strong web developers from non-traditional backgrounds. Marcus Currie, a hardware engineer and self-taught web developer, struggled to get recruiters to take him seriously due to a lack of professional web-development experience, so he turned to CodeSignal — using its interview practice mode and skills test to build and validate his skills.

CodeSignal’s practice mode and skills assessment produced an exceptional Coding Score™, which caught the attention of recruiters at multiple tech companies and led to an offer from Evernote. By using CodeSignal to demonstrate his abilities, Marcus secured a full-time software engineering role at Evernote, turning a measurable assessment result (his high Coding Score™) into a successful hire for the company.
