🎧 I had a powerful conversation with
@TigranSloyan, CEO of
@CodeSignalCom, on
@TheDeepView podcast.
Tigran and his team are creating a new path forward for hiring and career mobility in the age of AI.
CodeSignal’s mission starts with a simple but painful truth: resumes and interviews are a flawed way to hire talent. Countless candidates have the skills to thrive in high-paying tech roles but never get a fair shot, while others with polished credentials sometimes land jobs they’re not prepared to do.
CodeSignal is flipping that equation with skills-based assessments that help employers discover candidates with real ability, and a free learning platform that helps candidates level up for the next opportunity.
In my conversation with Tigran, we talked about:
Why resumes haven’t meaningfully changed in 100 years, and why it's breaking hiring
How CodeSignal measures skills, and why simulation beats multiple-choice
What AI unlocks for assessing non-technical roles such as sales and support
The dark side of AI: what CodeSignal’s research shows about cheating attempts
Why entry-level jobs are turning into tasks, and what that means for training
How CodeSignal makes free learning content work economicall
The future of re-skilling at scale, and why AI tutoring changes everything
We also dig into what’s changing fast right now: the rise of AI-assisted work, the surge in fraud in hiring assessments, and why foundational skills still matter even when AI can do the task.
