Case Study: Code.org saves 2,400 engineering hours and $191K in recruiting costs with CodeSignal

How Code.org Saves 2,400 Engineering Hours a Year with CodeSignal

Code.org faced a recruiting bottleneck when a single internship posting drew about 1,000 resumes and they needed an objective, fair way to surface qualified candidates without asking engineers to manually review every application. In 2023 they adopted CodeSignal’s Pre-Screen and Interview products to provide a consistent, skills-based signal across their hiring process.

By using CodeSignal to screen all engineering candidates, Code.org removed one interview stage, focused on qualified applicants sooner, and saved about 2,400 engineering hours per year. The change reduced technical recruiting costs by roughly $191k and lowered the average cost per hire by $720.
