Our take
Recruiting high quality engineers is a difficult process dominated by uncertainty. Quantifying the skills a candidate should have and then measuring them takes valuable time away from existing employees. HackerRank mitigates this by providing a platform for companies to hire and engineers with the right skills for them, facilitating a more efficient hiring process.
To increase the consistency of technical assessments they provide online coding tests and a platform for running technical screen interviews. These tools decrease the time to hire and help interviewers spot candidates whose CVs may have been overlooked. The platform has seen significant success, and major customers include Goldman Sachs, Wish and Snap.
Over the last few years, HackerRank has released an AI-powered insights product that delivers personalised recommendations on a companies hiring process to help them hire better, as well as a plagiarism detection tool to increase fairness in developer hiring. Impressive 2022 funding secured also means the company can continue to focus on accelerating the drive for technical hiring.
