Technical recruitment is now easier with the new HackerEarth and Workable integration

We’re pleased to announce that HackerEarth  has added yet another ATS to its list of integrations. This time around, we’ve added an integration with Workable, a leading hiring platform that enables recruiters and hiring managers to source and identify the right talent for their teams.

HackerEarth+Workable: Identify top talent, faster 

The integration between HackerEarth and Workable facilitates an efficient way for recruitment teams to screen candidates and streamline the technical recruitment workflow. Using this integration, you can post jobs on Workable, setup HackerEarth assessments and video interviews, invite candidates, and generate and share detailed candidate reports with your team. The best part is, you can do all this directly from the Workable interface without switching back and forth between the two platforms.

Benefits of the integration 

Once you’ve set up the details of the job on Workable, you can use HackerEarth Assessment to initiate your screening process. Here are the top benefits of screening candidates on Workable using HackerEarth Assessment.

Create accurate skill-based assessments

Automate the test creation process to assess candidates accurately on multiple skills. Access 12K+ questions from the prebuilt question library to test candidates. Assess candidates over 38+ programming languages and 500+ developer skills using 11 different assessment types.

Streamline your tech hiring workflow

HackerEarth Assessment can pre-screen candidates from your applicant pool and help you identify the best using detailed performance reports. Get recommendations to shortlist candidates and conduct live video interviews to assess their skills in real-time.

Get finer details about a candidate’s performance

Integrating HackerEarth Assessment with Workable can help you identify engineers who have the right skills for the job.

You can use the CodePlayer to replay a candidate’s code strokes to review their logical and programming skills.
