These are top-of-mind customer topics that exist even if CodeSignal doesn’t. They could cause a buyer to re-allocate discretionary funds.
Mastering these drivers supports value-based conversations with prospects.
Let's delve into an overview of the four key value drivers of CodeSignal Hire.
Give Time Back to Engineers
CodeSignal helps eliminate the time engineers spend on first-round technical interviews and increases the pool of qualified candidates for later stages. For instance, engineers can redirect the hours spent on initial interviews towards more on strategic tasks such as evaluating culture-add for qualified candidates in the later stages of the hiring process.
Hire the Right Candidates Faster
This driver focuses on bringing consistency to evaluation criteria across teams and interviewers, measuring relevant skills through validated questions, and preventing candidates from gaming the system. Using consistent and validated questions ensures a fair assessment of all candidates, speeding up the hiring process without compromising quality.
Increase Diversity on the Engineering Team
CodeSignal enables you to cast a wider net for diverse talent, reduce resume review bias, and minimize bias from interviewers and interview questions. Automated assessments help address unconscious bias present in manual reviews, enhancing team diversity.
Mitigate Risk of Legal and Compliance Issues
Decreasing litigation risks due to biased hiring practices, increasing brand trust, and ensuring teams focus on core roles instead of compliance changes are essential aspects of this driver. An objective and validated hiring process reduces the risk of non-compliance with labor laws, thereby safeguarding the company's reputation.
Understanding the significance of these value drivers is essential as they address the primary concerns of your prospects. Different prospects may prioritize value drivers in different ways based on what is most important for their business.
For example:
As a CodeSignal salesperson, effectively integrating these value drivers into client conversations is crucial. For example:
When discussing Giving Time Back to Engineers, you might say, "By using CodeSignal, your engineers will spend less time on initial technical interviews and more on strategic tasks."
For Hiring the Right Candidates Faster, you could highlight, "Our validated questions ensure a consistent and fair assessment of candidates, speeding up the hiring process without compromising on quality."
To address Increasing Diversity on the Engineering Team, you might state, "CodeSignal’s pre-screens help you attract and evaluate a more diverse pool of talent."
When talking about Mitigating Legal and Compliance Issues, emphasize, "Our solution helps reduce the risk of biased hiring practices, ensuring compliance with legal standards and enhancing your brand trust."
To illustrate how these value drivers can be effectively communicated, let's look at a conversation between Jake (salesperson) and Natalie (prospect).
- Jake: By using CodeSignal, engineers will spend less time on initial technical interviews and more on strategic tasks.
- Natalie: How exactly does CodeSignal help achieve that?
- Jake: It automates pre-screens at the top of the funnel, which means engineers don’t have to be involved until the later stages when there are more qualified candidates.
- Natalie: That’s great. Does it also speed up the overall hiring process?
- Jake: Absolutely. Our validated questions ensure a consistent and fair assessment of candidates, speeding up the process without compromising on quality.
- Natalie: And what about ensuring diversity?
- Jake: CodeSignal’s pre-screens help attract and evaluate a more diverse pool of talent, reducing biases in resume reviews and interviews.
- Natalie: Interesting. I assume this also helps with compliance issues, right?
- Jake: Yes, it does. Our solution reduces the risk of biased hiring practices, ensuring compliance with legal standards and enhancing your brand trust.
In this dialogue, observe how Jake clearly communicates each value driver when responding to Natalie's questions, showing the practical benefits of CodeSignal.
