The platform is incredibly easy to navigate and use. It gives us a great window into how someone will perform in their interviews and shifting to live coding interviews has been game changing. > > **Cons**: In the interviews the video aspect isn't great and could potentially be smoother if it ran through Google Meet instead. > > Hugely positive. The team are great and very responsive, they are as invested as we are to innovate and overcome challenges and this makes for a fantastic partnership. Working with them has allowed us to run new processes, have reliable data to back up changes and trust in what we are trying to build - together. Excellent value for money, helping us to save vast amounts whilst not faltering on quality. ----- ### "Improving our processes with Hackerank" — 5.0/5 > **Andy** | *26 September 2025* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the most immediate benefits we've experienced is the dramatic reduction in our time-to-hire. The platform's ability to provide instant, objective results means we can move promising candidates to the next stage of the interview process much faster, giving us a competitive edge in securing top talent. HackerRank has been instrumental in bringing much-needed consistency to our hiring decisions. By standardising our technical assessments, we've effectively removed much of the subjectivity that can creep into traditional interview processes. Every candidate, regardless of who reviews their submission or when they are assessed, faces the same set of challenges under the same conditions. This objective, data-driven approach ensures fairness and allows us to compare candidates on a level playing field, leading to more reliable and equitable hiring outcomes. The depth and quality of feedback provided by HackerRank is exceptional. Beyond a simple pass/fail, the platform offers detailed analytics on candidate performance, including code efficiency, correctness, and adherence to best practices. This granular insight allows our hiring managers and technical leads to understand a candidate's strengths and weaknesses with a clarity that subjective interviews often fail to provide. We can pinpoint specific areas where a candidate excels or needs development, enabling more informed interview discussions and more accurate hiring decisions. This richer feedback loop also helps us provide constructive insights to candidates, enhancing their experience even if they aren't selected. > > **Cons**: This isn't a criticism of HackerRank's effectiveness in its core domain, but rather an observation that for a truly holistic evaluation, especially for senior or highly specialised roles, its objective technical assessments are most powerful when complemented by other evaluation methods. > > Excellent - the product has been a gamer changer for our processes and the people at Hackerank have always been attentive and supportive to our needs. ----- ### "Great product, super customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *30 January 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Amazing customer service helping us maximise the value we get. Candidates enjoy the interview structure as it allows more creativity and the huge range of questions is helpful. Hackerrank's ability to be deployed at scale is also unmatched > > **Cons**: There are some limitations when it comes to anti-cheating but it is quickly taking steps to fix them ----- ### "A Powerful Platform for Technical Hiring" — 5.0/5 > **Breejesh** | *5 March 2026* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about HackerRank is its comprehensive coding environment and large library of programming challenges that help developers practice and improve their skills. The platform makes it easy to create and customize coding tests for different roles, which is very useful for technical hiring. The live coding interview feature is also smooth and interactive, allowing candidates and interviewers to collaborate in real time. Overall, it provides a structured and practical way to evaluate programming ability across multiple technologies. > > **Cons**: One drawback of HackerRank is that the pricing for advanced recruiting features can be relatively high for small teams or startups. There could also be more flexibility in the bundles of test takers allowed, which would make the platform more accessible for organizations with varying hiring needs. Additionally, customer support response times could be improved in some cases to provide quicker assistance when issues arise. > > Overall, my experience with HackerRank has been positive. It is a powerful platform for coding practice, technical assessments, and developer skill evaluation. The platform’s problem library and live coding interview tools make it valuable for both learners and organizations conducting technical hiring. While the interface and pricing could be improved, it remains one of the most reliable platforms for coding challenges and developer assessments. ----- ### "Passive review" — 3.0/5 > **Gaurav** | *9 October 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of access is one of the features that is great in HackerRank. Application has helped us so far. > > **Cons**: User experience is not great with HackerRank. Not many conversions seen as user experience can be improved. > > Overall experience with HackerRank has been average. AI functions like AI avatar should be included. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/143549/hackerrank?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/143549/hackerrank) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
