HackerRank Developer Skills Platform Reviews & Product Details

We use it for System Design interviews and coding rounds. The UI is intuitive, and getting onboarded to the platform is straightforward. It also generates a PDF summary toward the end of the interview, which I’ve found helpful for review and follow-up. I also appreciate the built-in intelligence that can flag candidates who may be trying to cheat. Performance is on par with industry alternatives, and the integrations for code, the whiteboard, and the question library are all useful. Overall, I think it delivers a good return on investment.

Some industry alternatives, such as Excalidraw, feel a bit more polished and easier to use, particularly for things like whiteboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HackerRank makes technical hiring quick and easy. The platform is simple for candidates to use, connects directly with our hiring tools to automate test invites, and runs smoothly without lag. Its smart anti-cheating features keep test results honest, and filtering out unfit candidates early saves our engineers hours of interview time each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating custom questions is confusing, and finding good ones in the library takes too long. The system sometimes fails to update our hiring software automatically, so we have to check candidate scores by hand. The site can also run slowly during big hiring events, and upgrading to get basic proctoring features costs too much for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the fraud detection feature in HackerRank Developer Skills Platform, as it helps me identify if candidates are trying to cheat during assessments. I also love that I can easily insert my own questions and create datasets, which simplifies the process of updating and customizing tests. The platform offers a good number of well-constructed test cases and questions, considering most syntax and coding conventions, which assists me in evaluating candidates' coding skills effectively. Additionally, the initial setup was really straightforward, allowing me to get onboarded and access everything quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think a bigger question library would be really helpful. Over time, the questions start getting a bit similar, so updating the library more frequently would be a big plus. Maybe adding some new versions on a monthly basis could keep things fresh. And if there was an AI assistant to help quickly add questions, and write test cases, that would definitely improve the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dedicated IDE and can see team over the years poured effort into it making more stable, reusable to candidates to emulate fair and similar setup for candidates. I do like MySQL setup with C# environment.

Latest feature on AI supported platform elevates the game on how we see future recruitment to be as well.

Also advanced Proctor feature for easy detection for fairness. Though I must say there are still room for improvement in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A bit more expensive ;)

Out of the box questions are either too hard in form of leetcode which is barely used in real life or too easy. We almost always have to create our own tests though good that Hackerrank at least offer to upload custom questions.

Dedicated IDE are still buggy/unstable sometime for some unfortunate candidates.

Latest AI efficiency score seems unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This easy to use tool aids us in identifying the level of software development skills our candidates bring to the table. The team are great at adapting or creating new assessments to help meet our business needs. The tool is great at flagging integrity issues or concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about the tool. It is easy to use, the team is great at supporting our changing needs or new development needs. The cost of the tool is worth the hours we save for our engineers in eliminating the need for live coding interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to use. The UI is simple, clean, and intuitive, which makes everything straightforward to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems like there’s no way to change the colour scheme. The filtering also isn’t great, and I’m not convinced the AI is that good either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are able to send a high volume of tests to candidates. I also appreciate the replay features, and the support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were ways to extend tests' expiration dates more efficiently than having us resend the link. Furthermore, I wish there would be ways to automatically send a new link for a certain date or time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the flexibility of the question library and the ability to build custom assessments tailored to specific roles we are hiring for. The live interview/CodePair experience is also a strong point as it lets me watch a candidate's thought process in real-time. The customizable question/rubric builder is important because it allows tailoring assessments to specific roles. The built-in code playback/replay feature is genuinely useful for after-the-fact review. Additionally, the reporting and scoring dashboards make it easy to compare candidates side-by-side and keep our evaluation process consistent across interviewers.

A few areas come to mind. The question library, while broad, can feel generic for more specialized roles - for embedded systems or infrastructure-focused positions. The CodePair interface, while functional, can occasionally feel a bit clunky compared to more modern collaborative coding tools. I've also found the reporting/analytics could be more customizable.

I really appreciate the variety of skills available on the HackerRank Developer Skills Platform and how quickly it evolves. The continuous enrichment of the skills bank helps us upskill rapidly with new skills, enforcing standards and a unique skills matrix across teams in line with market demands. The platform also offloads a lot of operational work related to curating skills and aligns with market standards, which is crucial for maintaining up-to-date skills mapping. I found the initial setup of the platform to be straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe the amount of community upskilling and live training events can greatly improve adoption and enlighten on new usecases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to assess a candidate's proficiency with coding with various tools to know if they have the level of skill needed for the role Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is challenging to weed out people who do not have the correct immigration status to move forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
