What it is
HackerRank helps companies assess developers during hiring and support developer upskilling. Its Screen product offers take-home technical assessments for the hiring funnel. Teams can choose role-based Certified Assessments or build a test from an uploaded job description.

HackerRank also provides APIs for automating test administration, interviews, user and team management, candidate data, and question retrieval. Listed integration categories include ATS, scheduling, talent intelligence, SSO, and productivity tools. The platform supports API, macOS, web, and Windows; the desktop app is available for Windows and macOS, while the work platform supports Chrome, Edge and Firefox on Windows and macOS, plus Safari on macOS. A free plan and trial are available. Starter costs $165 a month (annual), billed $1,990 annually, and includes one user and 120 attempts per year.
