Case Study: Asseco achieves 95% intern-to-full-time retention with Codility

How Asseco Retained 95% of University Graduates

Asseco, a major Warsaw Stock Exchange–listed software company, runs the Asseco Starter internship to recruit top university graduates but faced a fast-moving market where the best candidates are hired within days. To deliver a fair, standardized screening process that preserves an excellent candidate experience while preventing cheating, Asseco adopted Codility’s assessment tools (CodeCheck and plagiarism detection) to evaluate technical skills quickly and consistently.

Using Codility’s CodeCheck take-home tests, a robust task library, and plagiarism prevention — with plans to use CodeLive for remote interviews — Asseco screened over 3,600 candidates since 2016 (1,600 in 2020 alone), narrowed 2020 applicants to 24 interns, and converted 23 into full‑time hires (95% retention). Codility’s solution saved hiring managers time, maintained candidate experience, delivered 100% satisfaction among hiring managers, and helped Asseco retain over 70% of interns long‑term.
