Case Study: Outreach achieves efficient, equitable technical hiring with CodeSignal

Outreach frees up engineering time by 60% with CodeSignal

Outreach, a Seattle-based sales engagement platform, faced a significant scaling challenge as it grew rapidly. They needed to hire technical talent efficiently in a competitive Seattle market without overburdening their engineering team or compromising their strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. Their traditional resume screening process was time-consuming, prone to bias, and ineffective at objectively assessing a candidate's skills. Outreach turned to CodeSignal and its Pre-Screen product to address this three-pronged problem.

CodeSignal provided an objective, skills-based screening solution with its automated Pre-Screen evaluation, which assigns candidates a Coding Score. This process helped remove bias by focusing on practical skills rather than background, aligning with Outreach's diversity goals. The solution dramatically increased efficiency, freeing up to 60% of the engineering team's time previously spent on candidate reviews. This allowed Outreach to scale its hiring pipeline effectively, culminating in its most successful hiring quarter to date shortly after implementing CodeSignal.
