What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

I like that it supports multiple language. That the editor has several IDE features that make it more realistic. I like the response time of code runs. The real time co-editing. The after-interview playback feature, with the timeline that makes it easy to find events. I also like the testing, and the ease of creating challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say I dislike it, but it took some time to get used to the setup workflow for the interview. I'm still getting lost in the template library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

HackerRank has been the widest-used assessment tool for our company in evaluating hard skills asynchronously. Offering the options of both a robust library of questions across various languages and scripts as well as create-your-own, we've found it useful for both initial and secondary screen assignments. Hiring managers and recruiting staff have greatly appreciated the ability to communicate with candidates, prevent cheating (including the use of AI), and be backed by supportive customer operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

1. Cohesive plagiarism detection (not just indicative alerts). 2) Ability to have pdf (results) report automatically uploaded to candidate's profile in ATS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

Ease of use, quick customer support response when questions arise and intuitive platform (require little training to start using but if needed there is also good standard training available) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HackerRank Developer Skills Platform?

High costs per user to sign-up in platform. Realitically as a business hiring a high volume of developers in a 800+ people organisation, we need tech leads to take ownership of the test and tech interview process but we've had to adapt to limit this due to the restructure HackerRank went which cutdown the number of users we could have and the increase in the costs.
