HackerRank runs a technology hiring platform that objectively assesses developer skills through coding assessments, pair-programming interviews, hackathons and upskilling products.
HackerRank operates a technology hiring platform built on a single premise: that developer ability should be measured by skills rather than pedigree. The company frames its work as a mission to change how the world values talent, evaluating candidates at every stage of the recruiting process through objective, skills-based assessment rather than credentials. For engineers who have distinguished themselves on merit, this is a workplace organised around the principle they hold dear.
The product suite covers the full arc of technical hiring. Screen provides take-home assessments for evaluating developer candidates; Interview supports pair-programming sessions for technical interviews; Engage handles hackathons and employer branding; and SkillUp addresses internal mobility and the upskilling of existing employees. The underlying disciplines span developer skill assessment, online coding assessments, pair-programming tools, hackathon infrastructure and skills-based evaluation.
The scale of the operation is considerable. More than 2,500 companies worldwide use the platform, drawing on a developer community of over 26 million. Roughly 172,800 skill assessments are completed each day - one every eight seconds globally. The company's reach is worldwide.
