Case Study: Verkada scales technical hiring and reduces bias with CodeSignal

Verkada scales engineering hiring 3x with CodeSignal

Verkada, a fast-growing IoT security company, faced the challenge of scaling its engineering hiring process rapidly during a period of hypergrowth. The manual screening of thousands of resumes and the creation of individual coding tests for different languages were a significant drain on their engineering team's resources. To manage this, Verkada turned to CodeSignal and implemented its Pre-Screen technical assessment service.

CodeSignal's Pre-Screen solution provided automatically graded coding assessments that generated a reliable Coding Score, allowing Verkada's hiring team to quickly and objectively identify qualified candidates from a large applicant pool. This streamlined their top-of-funnel process, saved engineers significant time, and helped reduce unconscious bias by moving beyond resume screening. As a result, Verkada was able to triple its engineering team, sustain its hypergrowth, and even increase revenue by 21% in a single quarter during this expansion.
