HackerRank Developer Skills Platform Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hackerrank is a must have if you are looking to hire software engineers. It is a great platform that makes taking coding interviews a breeze. The functionality of creating tests and sharing with candidates for their submission enabled us to screen candidates and have prescreened and qualified canddiates ready for interviews saving lot of bandwidth for the interviews. The user interface is also quite simple, intuitive and user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a need to enhance the ability of the platform to detect cases where the code has been copied from AI tools and other external sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The HackerRank Developer Skills Platform helps us efficiently assess technical talent at scale with objective evaluations, automation, customizable tests, and data-driven insights, streamlining hiring and improving decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The HackerRank Developer Skills Platform can sometimes feel rigid, with limited real-world problem contexts, occasional false negatives in assessments, and a suboptimal candidate experience—especially for senior engineers who may prefer project-based evaluations over timed coding tests.

HackerRank provides support for a majority of programming languages. I have never had a candidate who could not find their language on the list. Online syntax checkers and auto-completion are also pretty handy. I also enjoy the timeline feature of the Interview report, which could come handy if a detailed analysis of a candidate's performance is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish HackerRank had (better) integration with services like Greenhouse and Google Meet since I saw candidates confused about which video conference feature to use — the one provided by HackerRank or the Google Meet that we normally send in the calendar invite. As for the Greenhouse integration I wish I could see the Code Interview Report being sent to Greehouse automatically. I also think UX can be improved as with the new design it is somewhat hard to find the program output tab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that my engineering team can create new tests, use pre-approved tests, easily log in to review candidate scores per each question on a test. I also love as a recruiter that I can personalize each email template for each test so it's a unique experience for each candidate. I LOVE how it integrates in to Greenhouse, and it's easy to choose which test to send with which email template. It's very easy to re-send a test link to a candidate, and it's very easy to share results outside of the HackerRank platform. We use HackerRank very frequently for the vast majority of our engineering roles. Customer support has been easy to get a hold of when needed, and my Account Manager is extremely helpful.

I do think navigating the dashboard and finding the email templates sections is difficult. It takes a lot of digging to find the settings I'm looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HackerRank is extremely flexible and allows you to create easily custom tests and submit them to the candidates. We have used the tool to screen many candidate types; the tool was always the proper solution for the assessments. I love the extract function; it's very helpful.

It's hard to find anything I don't like about this tool. The only thing I can think of that could be improved is the requirement to publish the test before generating an invitation link. I often prepare engagement emails with the invitation link before starting the tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure and review once the tests have been submitted, I also like the feature that shows if the candidates switches between tabs or copy-pasted.

I use it alot! I also really like the ability to export the tests so I can asses the results outside of hackerrank! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont see any downsides so far from my point of view as a user (not an admin). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I consider the platform to be very intuitive and full of possibilities. The entire creation process is very detailed and well guided. Speaking of implementation, it's extremely simple to create and publish a hiring test, with different approches. Also, the customer support is a highlight - I really appreciate it.

Hackerrank is one of the tabs always open in my browser, I use it almost daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
