Many organizations today have implemented some form of technical skills screening or interview coding challenge into their hiring process. This might look like a take-home assessment, a whiteboard assignment, or an engineering team crafting their own programming questions. There are many problems with measuring technical skills in these ways. They often produce inconsistent measurements, are not EEOC-compliant, and programming questions often get posted online – among other problems. That’s why working with technical skills screening companies with expertise in assessment design is critical when implementing and designing pre-employment testing solutions. At CodeSignal, we use skills evaluation frameworks, which create recipes for what skills we are measuring and how we are measuring them. Some benefits of skills evaluation frameworks: An extensive library of thousands of programming questions, which increases integrity of results Deliberate measurement to ensure accuracy and validity of results Coding Score that puts a test-taker’s performance in the context of the global developer population
