Best Practices for Preparing Candidates for Tech Interviews
Recruiters invest a lot of time and effort in the recruitment of their candidates, and the best recruiters protect those investments by thoroughly preparing their candidates for interviews and the overall hiring process. Keeping candidates well-informed and in the loop about your company’s hiring process is a win-win for both candidates and hiring teams. Candidates will have a better experience in your process which, in turn, makes them more likely to accept an offer—and hiring teams will benefit from higher pass-through rates and a more efficient recruiting process overall.
Join us for a free webinar with Jen Davis, Principal TA Leader at Reddit, and Matthew Compton, Engineering Manager at Reddit, as they share the secrets for setting up candidates for success.
Jen has made nearly 50 tech and executive hires at Reddit in less than two years. Some of the strategies for this session will include:
- Being an effective ambassador for the brand
- Mapping the stages of the tech hiring process
- Coaching candidates on how to best share their stories and technical abilities
- Alleviating candidate performance anxiety when it comes to technical interviews and assessments
CodeSignal is the leading technical interview and assessment solution, helping companies identify the right candidates with the right skills—even if they don’t have the “right” profile. For far too long, companies have spent too much time sifting through all the noise produced by traditional resumes, generic assessments, and inconsistent interviews, when all they really want to know is how well candidates can do the job.
CodeSignal helps companies go beyond the noise with smarter assessment questions, a simpler process, and a stronger platform. Founded in 2015, CodeSignal is trusted by leading companies like Netflix, Capital One, Meta, and Dropbox.
