Announces formation of independent Skills Advisory Council to Standardize Hiring with the New Skills-Based Experience
HackerRank, the developer skills company, announced the launch of their HackerRank Remote Hiring Solution, the new standard for end-to-end developer skills-based hiring. Over the last two months, HackerRank has made significant enhancements to their platform. Included in these enhancements were updates to CodePair, which were made to facilitate a significant piece of the hiring process that has shifted from on-site interviews to remote. As hiring teams all went remote, it’s now more important than ever to have a well-planned, standardized hiring process that companies can trust, that allows interviewers to assess the right skills every step of the way.

“While hiring in many categories has slowed or stopped, the market for tech hiring is expected to bounce back rapidly. We are future proofing our solution not for the new normal but for the forever different,” said Vivek Ravisankar, Co-Founder and CEO of HackerRank. “With these new product enhancements, we’re ensuring our customers can meet their business objectives and accelerate their innovation while maintaining a world-class experience for their candidates and for their hiring managers.”
The On-Site Interview Goes Remote
Since HackerRank started offering CodePair for free to its customers on March 11, companies like Duolingo, Bloomberg, Atlassian, Elastic, and ServiceNow have made the switch to 100% remote technical interviews utilizing the HackerRank remote hiring solution. HackerRank’s CodePair has been integral in helping companies across multiple industries streamline their remote hiring processes, with candidates collectively spending more than 30 million minutes using CodePair during this time.

“Before COVID-19, we brought every candidate onsite during the interview process. Our goal is to preserve as much of that experience as possible in the shift to remote hiring,” said Jocelyn S. Lai, Director of Talent Acquisition at Duolingo. “HackerRank’s CodePair helps us smoothly run remote technical interviews, and the video component gives candidates the ‘human touch’ of face time with the interviewer. This helps candidates feel comfortable and able to put their best foot forward.”
