What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

HankerRanks wide variety of products, skills, assessments and customizability has truly transformed the way we assess our engineer candidates for the better. Their attention to detail and security allows a level of faith in the product that is unmatched and so helpful in the day and age of AI.

This year we started getting an influx of AI generated candidates (fake resumes, stolen identities, utilizing AI to hide true identity). Hackerrank has been an instrumental tool in helping us safeguard our company against these frauds. The frequency of updates and releases truly helps our company stay ahead of security threats.

The platform is extremely easy to use and navigate. We utilize HackerRank in some way for every position we have and we are now looking to use it for continuing education for our current employees. Implementation and integration with our products was a breeze. And on top of all that, their customer service is unmatched! Our account manager Rachael is genuinely one of the best customer reps I have ever worked with. As a company we assessed multiple platforms for developer skills assessment and HackerRank is leaps and bounds above the rest. You will not regret using HackerRank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I genuinely have no criticisms of HackerRank. The speed in which they respond to issues and update the platform accordingly allows for a continued positive experience for their clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are a few areas where HackerRank truly benefits our assessment needs. Ease of use when conducting skills screening and interviewing. Their commitment to security and identification of AI usage or plagiarism. The levels of customization available means we can create an assessment completely from scratch or build off assessments they have in their library, which is so helpful when dealing with multiple types of engineers needing to be assessed.

HackerRanks commitment to security is truly one of the best tools in our arsenal to help us combat plagiarism and fraudulent candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

HackerRank is equipped with all the features you'd need for the interview and works very reliably. That is the thing I like the most about HackerRank.

The layout, code highlighting, support for programming languages to choose from, the execution engine, everything has always worked well.

Follow mode and pair-programming works well as well and I've had fun using it. I can jump into the interviewee's code and work alongside them, which is super nice.

Mentioned before, but I'd like to highlight that the platform has everything that an interviewer would expect. A questions library, different logins for interviewers and interviewee, lobby and interviewer controls, coding tool, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

The UI has a bit of a learning curve attached to it. But if you use it for a couple of times, it becomes easy to use. Specifically the consequence of an action is not clear enough is what i felt. For example, when i click on the 'Use' button on a question from the question bank, what exactly happens? does the interview start? But again, these are not prevailing issues, get addressed once you use the platform enough.

One other issue is that the UI seems a bit busy, but cannot complain about it since that is what gives the sense of the platform being powerful. If there was a way to present everything in a more "aerated" way, it would be cool, but not a dealbreaker if not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

- it helps me discover questions to ask for in the interview with its question library

- it also helps me drive the coding interview with its coding platform and code execution capabilities

- it helps me in coding interview with pair programming as well

- it helps me in identifying suspicious activities by the candidate since it gives me a log of the candidates activity after the interview

- it also helps me with a scorecard template at the end of the interview with rubrics to judge the interviewee on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I really like the variety of questions that are built in by default. Additionally, the organization by roles makes it easy and simple to create tests. In general, the tool is easy to use and its implementation in our organization was very easy. On the other hand, whenever we have had any kind of difficulty, we have always received timely attention through the channels that HackerRank provides for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

For me, it is a bit difficult to understand the recruiter and test developer model, I see that there are no marked differences and this incurs a cost for which I find it hard to see any kind of benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

HackerRank helps us address the lack of knowledge about the technical skills of the talents we are going to hire in the organization. When a candidate for a job position is evaluated by HackerRank, we have more certainty that they have the knowledge and skills we are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I have difficulty formatting questions and answers; I couldn't say if there is any correct way to deal with fonts, types and sizes, but it's the only part that I don't find that intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can separate in 5 categories:

1. It helps me create custom technical challenges to test candidates' skills in the technologies I need, in a fair way;

2. I can automate a big part of the process, so it saves me a lot of time;

3. The tests I create are pretty flexible - the tasks can match different job requirements, making it easier to find the right person;

4. It provides a great candidate experience - cause it very easy to uderstand and use;

5. It gives me detailed data about each candidate's performance, helping me choose the best ones. It gives not only the final result, but the entire process of the test.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

HackerRank has made it significantly easier to identify candidates whose skills match our exact technical requirements. The platform streamlines the process of administering coding tests and provides a wide variety of questions that help assess different technical competencies. The proctoring features are especially helpful, capturing a candidate’s picture at intervals, tracking tab switches, and detecting potential plagiarism. This ensures the integrity of our assessments and gives us confidence that the results accurately reflect each candidate’s abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

While the platform is highly effective, sometimes candidates report technical glitches with the proctoring features, such as camera or network issues. Additionally, the process for reviewing flagged plagiarism can be time-consuming if there are a lot of candidates, and customizing some advanced question types or assessments may require a learning curve for recruiters who are new to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

HackerRank solves the challenge of efficiently and objectively evaluating a large pool of candidates for technical roles. It eliminates the need for manual screening and inconsistent assessment methods by providing standardized, automated coding tests. The comprehensive reporting and proctoring features help us ensure assessment integrity and reduce the risk of cheating. This allows us to confidently shortlist candidates who truly have the skills we’re looking for, saving time and resources in our hiring process while helping us make more data-driven and fair hiring decisions.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I have been using Hackerrank for Coding and technical interview assessments and I have noticed significant improvements in the User Experience, Connectivity and many useful and essential features that really helps me to make my job much easier. It's much easier to navigate and search a problem now.

I am receiving notifications of the Candidate's activity like resizing the screen, dual monitors and given alerts if there is any suspicious activity. It also provides me connectivity strength if there are any weak signals.

From the candidate's perspective, the IDE has come a long way that suggests the suggests the methods and the libraries. Its helpful for the candidate to focus on the problem rather than remembering all the functions.

I have used other tools and Hackerrank is by far the best in terms of connectivity and speed and there is not lagging.

They have also introduced various tools to enrich the white boarding section for solving System Design problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

Sometimes searching the problem are not intuitive. I have to search Recently Used section to find older problems. It doesnt appear in My Company section. I need to be able to search a problem regardless of any section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Verifying the integrity of the candidate by sending real time notifications for any suspicious activity.

Enriched tools for whiteboard helps candidates to not switch to other tools for System Design interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

The most helpful part is that I can create tests and interview question templates very easily for hiring process, which helping save significant amount of time and efforts on checking code readability and result accuracy. The suspicious activity detection feature is adding additional values during this revolution from AI, both for test and online interview process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

Some questions in the test are leaked which made candidate assessment not super accurate. Would be helpful if there's tutorial on each of the functionality, as I was a bit confused when trying to figure out the difference between interview template and tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to assess the technical skillsets of each candidate to make sure if he/she would be a good fit. The hackerrank assessment platform helped us test on multiple domain and compare candidate skillset level pretty easily. The live test is also a super helpful tool to see the candidate coding in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

HackerRank provides an easy to use and easy to view snapshot of a candidate's attempt at coding questions. There are a variety of options to choose from in terms of types of questions, languages, and concepts to assess. Customer support is solid and helpful, taking into account my needs and adding them to future product considerations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I do wish there were better customization options, as sometimes the coding questions are an "all or none" in terms of grading. This can make some candidates who may possess the coding knowledge look worse than they are in terms of capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

We have been using HackerRank for already 2 years in a row for our Engineering Academy. There is so much know-how of interviewing that one can get started usung it out-of-the-box in a blink of an eye. The implementation for us was also rather simple and straightforward.

Furthermore the questions library is very extensive and is a solid base for tests. The video lesons in HackerRank Academy incl. the Learning Paths are completely sufficient to start using the platform efficiently.

In terms of integrations with Smart Recruiters, which we need, there are reasons preventing this on our side and so far we have not been able to use this features.

We have an account manager and together with the prompt support, there are not questions that had remained unanswered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

There isn't that much to dislike, but a thing that I see as a weakness is that new feature requests from customers are either not considered or realized after 10-12 or more months. Because of that, there are some steps in our process that we still need to do manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides a prescreening method that doesn't require company to take specific care with internal tools, basically saving a lot of effort.

Interviewing with all the options it provides is quite useful (e.g. seeing solutions of tasks from screeining test). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

Loved the platform. It made my life very easy to just focus on the interviewee and his/her problem-solving skill rather than deal with the editor/documents etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

Sometimes due to connection reloading or resetting the default code for the problem does not work. The interviewee has to face problems in creating a new dashboard to get the main code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HackerRank Developer Skills Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using HackerRank Platform I used to take interviews on google documents or use an online editor for saving the code and comments. Now, using HackerRank it became easy not to deal with many documents for the different candidates but rather focus on evaluating candidate skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
