Case Study: OpenSesame accelerates engineering hiring and scales its team with CodeSignal

OpenSesame grows engineering team by 90% with CodeSignal

OpenSesame, an e-learning company, needed to scale its engineering team by 90% while reducing the time its engineers spent on hiring. The company was committed to hiring for skill and potential rather than pedigree but found its manual process of writing and evaluating coding assessments to be inefficient and prone to bias. To meet this challenge, OpenSesame's Engineering Manager turned to CodeSignal Pre-Screen for a more effective technical skills evaluation solution.

CodeSignal provided a library of pre-built assessments and automated scoring, which saved the engineering team significant time and helped remove bias from the screening process. The keystroke replay feature offered deeper insight into a candidate's problem-solving abilities. By implementing CodeSignal, OpenSesame successfully grew its engineering team by 90% by the end of 2019 and gained a stronger, more objective understanding of candidates' technical capabilities.
