Codility vs. HackerEarth Assessments

Planning an Exam Scheduling and running the exam Taking the exam Assessing the exam results All done for remote candidates. While working remotely from home during the pandemic many managers found it harder to examine techie talents. Right after when the market started to boil and competition for talent rose, we all tried ways to make it easier for talents, so remote exams become more common and friendly. The ROI, while not always quantified, is in candidate experience, and hiring manager satisfaction as per recruiting talents.

Here are some scenarios based on my experience where HackerEarth Assessments is well suited,

1. Straightforward tool and the learning curve is not at all steep so getting new employees onboarded on the tool is smooth.
2. Job Description related questionnaire library is conducive for quickly setting up
3. The coding platform is really good, it gives solid ide and amazing debugging abilities for the people being assessed
4. Their support of different types of assessments be it programs or MCQs is really flawless and quite impressive.

Basically I didn't find any such situations where it didn't perform according to what it is intended to. One thing I would just point out that their pricing strategy could be improved, like it is on the higher side for small scale companies

This was the best that integrated with our TA system (Greenhouse) and we got positive recommendations. At a time we considered other talent acquisition systems, such as Success Factors, the integration was insufficient. Other than that, the talent acquisition Director was bios, based on previous experience, so as IT, we didn't have much of discovery or selection to make.

Compared to HackerRank, HackerEarth Assessments offers a similar coding assessment platform with a focus on tailored challenges for technical hiring. While both platforms assess coding skills, HackerEarth Assessments excels in remote evaluation and diversity outreach. There wasn't the much of a difference, but the UI of HackerEarth was nicer and we got a better price.
