Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hiring the right candidates is always very tough and dependent on an accurate assessment of the candidate for the required skills. HackerEarth Assessments helps us create specific tests that we can use to evaluate the potential candidates to hire the right fit for our team.

Pros

The platform is very well designed and the overall experience is very nicely devised, so in a small span of time of the interview also the candidates can easily identify all the necessary platform utilities and give the test in a given time.
Wide range of questionnaires from the system itself, so it makes the job of the interviewer very easy to pick any question for the test as well.
Simple onboarding and an easy learning curve make it easy for organisations to quickly set up an efficient hiring process.
The pricing is also very well thought out and doesn't make life tough for companies.

Cons

The Pricing is good for mid-size companies, but for a growing startup, it can be a bit high. Maybe they can introduce startup-friendly plans.
The Library of the questionnaire can be improved and updated as its long time since it has been revisited.

Most Important Features

Creating a pipeline for hiring people.
Providing the candidates problems to work on and observe.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

HackerEarth is the technical assessment platform that we use to hire new employees. The HackerEarth assessments are given as part of the interview process. We use HackerEarth to assess the aptitude in programming skills from the HackerEarth assessment score. As the score is generated on aspects such as the candidate's problem-solving ability and speed, the HackerEarth assessment serves as a good measure to judge a candidate before that person is called for the next round of interviews.

Pros

Option of proctored/unproctored assessment.
Uniform structure of assessment.
Variety of problem sets to choose from.

Cons

Code editor should be more responsive for auto suggestions.
Practice environment should be located in such a way that it should be found easily.
A transparent and publicly available pricing.

Most Important Features

Question pool.
Data structure and algorithm-based assessment.
Report generation.

Return on Investment

10 working hours saved weekly which used to be spent on interviews.
Approximately 3 employees' worth of manpower is saved.
The benefit of allowing assessment in multiple languages allowed the interviewee to concentrate on evaluation on the basis of underlying concepts.
