HackerRank’s proctoring feature helps eliminate suspicious activity and ensures the integrity and authenticity of the interview process. It streamlines candidate evaluation through automated pass/fail scoring for submitted solutions, saving valuable time for hiring teams. The platform also supports assessment of business-related roles using case studies and multiple-choice questions. Its detailed reporting insights enable hiring teams to make data-driven decisions based on candidate performance. Additionally, the live coding functionality allows real-time skill validation, further confirming the authenticity of a candidate’s technical capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the proctoring feature requires webcam activation, some assessment reports are flagged as suspicious due to “no face detected,” even though the detailed report clearly shows images of the candidate throughout the session. This creates inconsistencies in the integrity flags and may lead to unnecessary review time.

Additionally, the platform currently does not provide the ability to automatically send feedback notifications to candidates upon submission (pass or fail), which limits communication efficiency and candidate experience.

The test resend process is also lengthy and administrative. Introducing a direct “Resend Test” button would significantly improve turnaround time and operational efficiency for hiring teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With AI built in it has lots in terms of feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HackerRank is very good and agnostic to different skillsets. Sometimes there are lags which can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When assessing candidates, it’s not always black and white—pass or fail. While there is an overall scoring structure, the platform still allows the hiring manager to review each answer, which can help them understand the candidate’s thought process and/or award partial credit when appropriate.

I’m not able to redact scores or make edits after the assessment has been sent to the candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistency, I've never had any issues using the platform.

I feel like it is intuitive to use as well, and runs code quickly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the expanding of console output to be a bit of a pain, and some candidates don't work out how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use HackerRank Developer Skills Platform to interview candidates for open roles in my team. I really appreciate the nice library that lets me import questions to interview candidates on SQL and Python. I like how easy it is to collaborate, and it provides me with details like whether someone is using multiple monitors or every time they exit the screen. I also value the comprehensive list of library questions and the on-the-fly solutions provided. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it would be good to have Tableau/Power BI and Excel tests also. It will be good to have problems on visualization tools and Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interview interface and platform of the HackerRank Developer Skills Platform. The real-time sync, ease of control, and flexibility to choose the language really enhance my experience. The design layers add to the overall effectiveness. I also find it easy to track previous candidates and appreciate the feedback given after each interview, as well as the detection of suspicious signals. The initial setup was very easy, and I value how much better it is compared to other tools. I would definitely recommend it to a friend or colleague, giving it a 10 out of 10.

nothing, just added some more improvement points Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the HackerRank Developer Skills Platform makes technical hiring more structured and efficient. The platform evaluates candidates based on real coding skills through practical assessments and live coding interviews, avoiding reliance on resumes or theoretical questions. I appreciate the standardized assessments and automated screenings which significantly reduce the early-stage filtering time for engineers. I value the consistency and fairness it brings to the interview process, enhancing the quality of hiring decisions. The structured assessments and interview workflows make the hiring process predictable and scalable. Pre-built and customizable coding assessments help in evaluating candidates on necessary skills, filtering out unqualified applicants early. The automated scoring and detailed reports provide quick insights into a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, minimizing the manual effort for engineers. The live coding interview environment allows consistent real-time collaboration, enabling interviewers to focus on problem-solving approaches. Overall, these features save engineering time, standardize evaluation across interviewers, and facilitate faster, data-driven hiring decisions. Setting up the platform was very easy, too.

While the HackerRank Developer Skills Platform is very helpful, there are a few areas for improvement. Candidate experience could be smoother, as some find the coding interface or problem instructions unintuitive. Creating highly customized assessments for specialized roles can be time-consuming, and deeper analytics or more seamless ATS integration would make tracking and comparing candidate performance easier. Overall, addressing these areas would make the platform even more effective for our hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the feature in HackerRank Developer Skills Platform where they provide questions of all difficulty levels and for almost all skill sets. This offers a diverse variety to choose from for a candidate. It means that any developer, whether they are a beginner or a pro, can start using it easily and gradually improve their skills in a topic. Another thing I like is how straightforward the initial setup is. Creating a login ID and getting started didn't take much time, which I thought was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one thing that I would like the HackerRank Developer Skills Platform to improve is the feasibility to upload the questions. Because while uploading a certain question type, for example, their data science questions, the format uploading the file uploading is a bit tricky. And it consumes some time. So some template or some documentation should be provided to increase the feasibility of it. And to improve the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use HackerRank Developer Skills Platform to conduct interviews, and it helps by managing everything, so I don't have to worry. I particularly like the anti-cheating features, which help me know what setup the candidate has, and the interview timeline capturing feature, which gives me justification for their ratings. The platform also hides questions well and has effective locks on what the candidate sees, which helps me keep tighter control. The prices were a decisive factor in switching from CoderPad, and the initial setup was very, very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if it solves all cheating issues. I've heard there are tools or startups that can bypass the HackerRank anti-cheating measures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI experience is great. The integrations across the available languages are very good, and the way we can work with AI/intelligence is also top-notch. Performance-wise, I haven’t seen any issues with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel the pricing is a bit on the higher side. Also, the offline support from the HackerRank team could have been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
