We encountered a few issues that have been resolved or are in the process of being addressed by our outstanding account manager. As a result, there is nothing negative to report at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to create a new test and how many questions there are to choose from. The active support in our integration from the HackerRank team has been invaluable, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could export to a spreadsheet the candidates who we have in a HackerRank test, and I also wish that accurate updates of candidates who've been dispositioned in our ATS would reflect on the HackerRank test. For example, I have one test that is manually graded via a scorecard in our ATS, so I can't easily view number of candidates who've passed based on their score alone. Not even sure if that capability exists on other similar tools though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HackerRank has a library of technical coding questions for engineers to complete in order for hiring teams to better assess their technical literacy and whether or not they can be successful in the respective open role. It saves a ton of time in vetting candidates before the recruiter screen and technical interview stages with engineers and managers. Although the library of questions is quite extensive, there is the ability to create unique coding questions as well as adjust existing questions to make them more specific to the needs of your teams.

There are often questions leaked onto other external sites where candidates can find the answers to them. HackerRank does a great job of informing hiring teams and recruiters if a question has been leaked and notifies them to replace the question with another one. I do wish that there was a way to limit the leaking of questions since it does happen more than I'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform provides some nice capabilities for assessment. Our company was especially interested in assessing software engineers skills and it appeared that HackerRank provides quite a lot capabilities to our needs:

Ease of use, quick to get details from candidate tests, and customer support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is flexible for any testing or skill that needs to be measured. There are many options of how to test and evaluate candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it was a bit more user friendly for people with a nontechnial background. Internally, our recruiters are the one making our Hackerrank test so they do not always come with a tech background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The appearance is simple and and clear, easy to understand how to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the possibility and flexibility that our candidates have in using the IDE on the web or locally. Also, the support of several technologies! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing some technologies, and keep updating practical exercises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful things are the integration to our applicant tracking system (Greenhouse) with the scoring and email templates. Additionally, the training for candidates to get comfortable with the platform is helpful. The customer service and ease of creating new assessments is also really helpful.

I would love to see more user friendly experience to review plagairism flags. We have a high volume of candidates in the early career space and do see frequent plagairism flags. Checking these flags is a very manual process and I would love to see a way to filter or a place where they land so we can easily implement this process into our daily tasks. Exporting the reports for stakeholders to view is also time consuming as it is not included in the integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
