CodeSignal Launches Agentic Coding Assessments for AI-Era Hiring

CodeSignal has launched agentic coding assessments to measure how engineers collaborate with AI tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, announced in a press release. The new assessments aim to evaluate candidates based on their ability to produce real work using AI, rather than on isolated algorithmic tasks.

According to CodeSignal’s March 2026 survey of 450 U.S. software engineers, 91% already use agentic AI coding tools at work, and 75% have shipped production code partially or primarily generated by AI in the past six months. The new format mirrors this shift by asking candidates to interpret requirements, use AI tools to build working solutions, and explain their technical reasoning to human reviewers.

Over the past six months, tens of thousands of candidates have completed CodeSignal’s AI-assisted coding assessments, with about one-third of the company’s customers adopting AI-assisted formats during 2025. The agentic coding assessments add to CodeSignal’s broader library of skill evaluations spanning technical and business roles.
