Case Study: Handshake cuts time-to-fill by 50% with CodeSignal

Handshake cuts time-to-fill by 50% with CodeSignal

Handshake, a leading career platform for connecting new graduates with employers, faced challenges in its technical hiring process. Their manual take-home assessments for SQL and engineering roles were time-consuming to grade, vulnerable to cheating, and produced misleading signals that led to high pass-through rates of underqualified candidates. This resulted in a lengthy time-to-fill of over two months. To address this, they turned to CodeSignal's Technical Assessments.

By implementing CodeSignal's automated and cheat-resistant testing solution, Handshake replaced its manual screening process. The solution provided consistent scoring and integrated directly with their ATS. This allowed recruiters to focus on candidate experience while ensuring a more standardized evaluation. As a result, Handshake achieved a 50% reduction in average time-to-fill, onsite pass-through rates increased, and hundreds of recruiting and engineering hours were saved, thanks to CodeSignal.
