CodeSignal aims to make talent accessible by creating software and standards for assessing the technical skills of software developers. Greenhouse Recruiting's integration with CodeSignal allows your organization to add a CodeSignal Pre-Screen assessment or Tech Screen to a job's interview plan.
Note: In addition to the Greenhouse Recruiting permissions covered in this article, the user enabling this integration for their organization will also need to be a CodeSignal Admin.
In this article:

Select default senders (Optional)
Note: This section is an optional step for CodeSignal Certify users only.
In CodeSignal, under Certify Default Senders, specify a team member as the default sender for each of your certified assessments. This is the individual on whose behalf CodeSignal will specify the assessment is from in the email invitation.
This only applies to candidates who receive an email invitation to take the test directly from CodeSignal or the candidate profile in Greenhouse Recruiting. The individual's email address will not be listed in the email invitation.
Click Save. The Greenhouse Recruiting / CodeSignal integration configuration is now complete!
Add CodeSignal stage to job’s interview plan
Once the Greenhouse Recruiting / CodeSignal integration is enabled for your organization, you will be able to add the CodeSignal Pre-Screen (formerly CodeSignal Test) or CodeSignal Tech Screen as an Interview stage.
To do this for an existing job, navigate to a job (All Jobs > Job Name) and click Job Setup from the job navigation bar.
From the Job Setup page, navigate to Interview Plan on the left-hand panel. Scroll down the page and click + Add a Stage.
From the Add Stage dialog box, select the CodeSignal stage: CodeSignal Pre-Screen or CodeSignal Tech Screen. When finished, click Add to apply the stage to the job's interview plan.
Send and review CodeSignal Pre-Screen or CodeSignal Tech Screen from Greenhouse Recruiting
When candidates are moved into the CodeSignal interview stage, Greenhouse will display a Send Test link.
Note: When you send a test from Greenhouse Recruiting, the interview instructions are actually sent by CodeSignal.
Select the Pre-Screen assessment or Tech Screen that you want to send, as well as the name of the person who should evaluate the test. The candidate's email address will be auto-populated.
The status of the Pre-Screen assessment or Tech Screen will be viewable in Greenhouse Recruiting (e.g. Sent).
Note: Greenhouse Recruiting updates test scores once every hour, so there may be a small delay between a candidate's completion of a test and the recording of his/her score in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Once the Pre-Screen assessment or CodeSignal Tech Screen is completed, the candidate's score will be recorded in the relevant CodeSignal Pre-Screen or CodeSignal Tech Screen stage, and the grader will be notified via email to review the candidate's result and complete a scorecard in Greenhouse.
Once the grader has completed their scorecard, their overall recommendation for the candidate will also be displayed along with the candidate's score in the CodeSignal Pre-Screen or CodeSignal Tech Screen stage on the candidate's profile in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Click CodeSignal Pre-Screen or CodeSignal Tech Screen within this stage to view a summary of the candidate's scores per task in the test.
Note: The CodeSignal Pre-Screen stage may appear as CodeSignal Test on jobs or reports created before April 2022.
When viewing the summary of results, click View Report to view the candidate's results (including coding replays) in detail on CodeSignal.
