Case Study: StepStone Services achieves a 40% reduction in onsite interviews and faster technical hiring with DevSkiller

StepStone Services now screens out up to 40% of all their candidates before the first interview

StepStone (StepStone Services’ Warsaw IT Development Center) struggled with slow, manual technical screening—sending practical tasks by email and using pen-and-paper tests during interviews—which consumed recruiters’ time and made candidate tracking difficult. To streamline hiring, StepStone implemented DevSkiller’s automated technical screening platform to assess coding skills across languages, frameworks and libraries.

With DevSkiller, StepStone adopted a two-step screening (phone + DevSkiller test) that typically trims about 40% of candidates at the screening stage, reduces onsite interviews by up to 40%, and supports recruiting up to 120 developers annually; reviewers can assess a technical screen in roughly 10 minutes. DevSkiller’s custom tests (programming tasks, code review, MCQs, code gaps and database tasks), instant dashboard results, one-click invites and built-in feedback have made the process more structured, measurable and time-efficient.
