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. ----- ### "Hackerank Review" — 4.0/5 > **Andy** | *1 July 2026* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use - so easy to setup a new test, even without development expertise. The ATS integration is also very handy. The Interview or pair programming tests offer a great insight into a candidates technical ability and also how they take onboard technical direction. The customer service is also good - always happy to help and talk through any issues/blockers. > > **Cons**: Whilst the ATS integration is good it would be better if it include the setup of Interviews rather than just take home tests. > > Really positive, the platform is super easy to use. I have gathered feedback from across the business which is also very positive. ----- ### "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 Reliable Hiring Tool with Room to Grow Beyond Coding" — 4.0/5 > **Prishi** | *14 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Key highlights include: Candidate activity monitoring – The platform tracks time-on-screen and captures screen size metadata, which helps reviewers assess candidate behavior and flag potential anomalies during assessments. Question library \& defaults – Adding default/pre-built questions is straightforward, making it easy to standardize assessments across roles without starting from scratch each time. Ease of setup – The overall configuration experience is intuitive, reducing the administrative overhead for hiring teams. These features collectively make HackerRank a strong choice for teams looking to run structured, auditable technical interviews at scale. > > **Cons**: While HackerRank excels in many areas, there are a few friction points worth noting: Custom question creation is cumbersome – Adding custom questions is not straightforward and can be time-consuming, especially for teams that need to tailor assessments beyond the default library. The process lacks the simplicity you'd expect given how polished the rest of the platform is. Diagram-based questions are challenging for candidates – When assessments include custom diagrams or drawing-type questions, candidates often struggle with the interface. The drawing tools are not intuitive, which can introduce unnecessary friction during the test and may affect performance for reasons unrelated to the candidate's actual skill. These limitations are worth considering if your hiring process relies heavily on custom or visual problem formats — in such cases, supplementing HackerRank with a dedicated diagramming or whiteboarding tool may be necessary. > > HackerRank is a solid platform for conducting technical assessments, particularly for programming and coding-focused evaluations. The built-in question library, candidate monitoring features, and ease of standardizing assessments make it a reliable choice for most engineering hiring workflows. That said, the platform has room to grow in certain areas: Architectural \& system design questions – HackerRank is not yet optimized for architecture-style assessments. The tooling for whiteboarding, diagramming, and evaluating system design thinking feels underdeveloped compared to its strong coding evaluation capabilities. ----- ### "Hackerrank review" — 5.0/5 > **Rajul** | *18 June 2026* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \* Scalable technical assessments that allow evaluation of large candidate pools efficiently. \* Objective and standardized evaluation, helping reduce bias in the screening process. \* Wide library of role-based questions across coding, SQL, AI/ML, security, and other technical domain > > **Cons**: Extremely hard DSA \* Competitive programming questions \* Questions that feel unrelated to the actual role > > Overall, our experience with HackerRank has been positive. The platform has enabled us to efficiently assess technical talent at scale through standardized and objective evaluations. Its extensive question library, assessment customization options, and integrity features have helped improve the quality of candidate screening while reducing manual effort ----- 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
