CodeSignal Launches AI-Assisted Coding Assessments and Interviews: Redefining Technical Hiring in the AI Era

New innovation enables companies to evaluate how effectively engineers collaborate with AI to solve real-world problems

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CodeSignal, a leading skills assessment and experiential learning platform, today announces the launch of AI-Assisted Coding Assessments and Interviews, a major innovation that brings the power of Cosmo, CodeSignal's AI assistant and co-pilot, to its Hire Suite.

For the first time, companies can assess how effectively candidates build solutions with AI assistants to solve real-world coding challenges. Embedded directly in the IDE, Cosmo provides real-time, context-aware guidance tailored to each coding task—mirroring the AI tools engineers use on the job. From surfacing relevant hints to troubleshooting errors, Cosmo acts as an in-platform collaborator designed to reflect how modern engineers work.

CodeSignal offers flexible AI assistance options to match each organization's preferences and level of AI adoption:

• Full AI Co-Pilot Mode enables developers to tackle advanced challenges with real-time AI collaboration, unlocking scenarios that would otherwise be unsolvable within the allotted timeframe without guided assistance.
• Guided Support Mode provides limited AI help focused on platform navigation, syntax, and documentation. This allows candidates to stay in the testing environment—without turning to external tools—while still demonstrating their skills authentically.

Alongside session replays, hiring leaders gain access to transcripts of all AI interactions, offering a transparent, end-to-end view of how candidates use AI during the assessment. For hiring teams, this means a deeper understanding of each candidate's decision-making, problem-solving style, and adaptability—crucial traits in today's fast-moving engineering landscape.

"AI is redefining what it means to be an engineer," says Tigran Sloyan, CEO and Co-Founder of CodeSignal. "With AI-Assisted Coding Assessments and Interviews, we're capturing how candidates approach real-world challenges, make decisions with AI support, and deliver solutions that reflect the way software is built today."

As generative AI transforms software development, the skills required to succeed in engineering have fundamentally changed. With 76% of engineers now using AI copilots daily, hiring teams need new ways to evaluate how candidates collaborate with these tools and solve problems in modern workflows.

By integrating Cosmo directly into coding assessments, CodeSignal gives teams a powerful new lens into candidate performance, capturing not just what they solve, but how they solve it. It's more than a new way to assess talent; it's a bold leap into the future of technical hiring.

Full AI Co-Pilot Mode and Guided Support Mode are now available for both Assessments and Interviews, as part of the CodeSignal Hire Suite.
