A Good Assessment Platform

Rating: 8 out of 10

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.

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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

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