We’re excited to introduce Interviewer Training, a game-changing AI-powered training that’s here to level up your hiring process!??? "Interviewers are often the first impression candidates get of a company—yet many don’t receive the training they need,” says Tigran Sloyan, CEO of CodeSignal. “We’re changing that with AI-driven training that helps teams assess skills accurately and fairly.” Ready to transform your hiring game? Learn more ??
It’s launch week at CodeSignal! ?? Most of us have experienced a poorly conducted interview by an unskilled interviewer. Poor interviews not only eliminate potential hires for the company, but when left unchecked, they can seriously damage a company’s talent and customer brand. The fix? Robust interviewer training programs. But we all know humans don’t learn much by just shadowing; we learn by doing. That’s why I’m excited to share that Interviewer Training with AI is now generally available on CodeSignal. And we’re not just talking about cookie-cutter training—each course is customized to your company, your interview goals, and your unique approach, all powered by #AI. Enjoy the demo—more amazing things are coming soon!
