Bengaluru — HackerEarth, one of the leading solutions providers to attract, hire, upskill and engage developer talent, has announced record growth during 2021 as the company enters its 10th year in business. HackerEarth has helped 4,000+ companies hire the perfect candidates while nurturing its fast-growing community of more than 6,500,000 developers.
HackerEarth was founded in 2012 with a mission to solve some of the most nagging challenges in developer recruitment including inefficiency and inequity. The company’s platform has evolved to become the most robust and accurate assessment tool for screening developers globally from all backgrounds with objectivity and fairness. Today, many of the world’s largest enterprises trust HackerEarth and its skills-first, performance-based approach to building great tech teams.
A recent driver of HackerEarth’s momentum is the pervasive need for developers to support the exploding market for digital solutions. This demand coupled with the Great Resignation and war for talent has created significant challenges for recruiters and hiring managers. Getting hiring right has never been more important and HackerEarth’s ability to standardize and create benchmarks to compare the quality of candidates being hired by different companies is a key competitive advantage.
Today, out of the 4,000+ total companies that have used HackerEarth, nearly 2,000 are large enterprise clients that have used the platform to source, screen, interview and upskill developers via a single interface, while mitigating hiring bias using AI-based insights. HackerEarth is driving innovation with its massively successful in-platform hackathons that improve engagement and sourcing, and result in real business solutions. In 2021, more than 2,000 prototypes were born out of ideas sourced from the HackerEarth developer community.
“Entering into 10 years of our journey, HackerEarth continues to make strides to democratize developer opportunities and provide enterprises with the most accurate, fair, and bias-free assessment tool in the market,” said CEO Sachin Gupta. “While our platform and company has evolved, we are proud to have stayed tethered to our original mission of helping developer candidates sharpen their skills and connect with the world’s leading organizations—all at scale. We are pushing full speed ahead and have a lot in store for the next 10 years!”
