HackerRank

A few weeks back we hosted university recruiting leaders from Microsoft, Google, Nike, Uber, IBM, Cisco, Wipro, CRED, and more in Bangalore. University recruiting is where companies compete hardest for technical talent. We had good conversations around how to find next-gen talent, nurture it, and ensure assessments are trustworthy in an era where AI makes plagiarism trivial. Bangalore was first. More cities coming!

Writing code used to be the job. Now AI does that. We're hosting Orchestrate, an agentic hackathon where you build an AI agent in 24 hours, then defend every decision you made to an AI judge. Win up to $1,000 in AI tools, 1:1s with industry experts, opportunities at leading tech companies, and merch you can't buy anywhere else. Registration closes April 30.

The best developers today don't just write code. They orchestrate agents. Here's everything we're shipping to help you hire, assess, and upskill them. 1/ AI Assistant for Data Science Questions Assess data science candidates in the same AI-assisted IDE they already know and love, where they can analyze notebooks, understand code, and troubleshoot in real time. 2/ Object Detection in Webcam Feed Understand if candidates used unauthorized devices, including mobile phones and tablets, during assessments. Detected objects in webcam feeds appear in reports and session replay to give you the full picture of a candidate’s assessment. 3/ Get sharper insights from Chakra HackerRank's AI interviewer, Chakra, runs structured interviews like your best interviewer would. Updates include structured 5-point scoring in reports that integrate directly with ATS platforms, Greenhouse and Ashby. 4/ AI-Powered Mock Interviews Developers can practice AI Fluency and System Design, two key skills for the AI era, using Chakra's voice interface on HackerRank Community. 5/ Code Repository Question Creation Hire developers using real-world problems tailored to your stack. Upload your custom code repository, and generate assessments with AI, complete with test cases and run configurations. 6/ Custom Certifications from HackerRank Tests Import tests from Screen directly into SkillUp as certifications, and build learning paths and certification requirements specific to your organization without any support requests.

The role of a developer has changed. You're not just writing code, you're orchestrating agents. Introducing HackerRank Orchestrate, a 24-hour hackathon to design, build, and ship an AI agent that solves real-world problems.

Our Integrity solutions are too powerful to release publicly. But we're doing it anyway. After a decade of running tech interviews, we've earned a PhD in suspicious behavior. So we built three modes that catch it at every layer: browser, environment, and desktop. Every layer keeps the candidate experience front and center. Our Integrity solutions level the playing field for candidates, and AI assistants in the IDE remove the purpose of looking for external help. Here's how it works:

We're launching two new voice-based mock interviews for our community. AI Fluency and System Design: two skills that matter most in the AI era. Try them here: https://lnkd.in/g_j67Uxv

LeetCode is dead. Developers don't write code line-by-line anymore. They orchestrate AI agents working in parallel, review AI-generated code, and make architectural decisions. That's the job now. But most interview processes haven't caught up. They still test algorithm memorization instead of AI fluency, code review, and judgment. We're building assessments for next-gen hiring that mirror how developers actually work. Here's how we think about it:

AI is getting really good at coding. This is Plumbing 101 for software developers.

The role of a developer has changed. Your hiring process should too. On April 22nd, we're going live to walk through our latest release. Here's a preview: 1. AI fluency evaluation that goes beyond writing code. Assess how candidates write specs, review AI-generated output, and troubleshoot with AI. 2. Stronger integrity signals in our Desktop App for campus hiring season, including object detection in webcam feeds and deleted code analysis. 3. Faster pre-screening with Chakra, our AI interviewer, now with improved reports and new ATS integrations. Join us live to see it in action and get your questions answered: https://lnkd.in/gibbkzZJ
