But there was a challenge
With the sheer volume of applications coming in for these roles, Apisero’s recruiting team had their work cut out for them. But manual candidate evaluations in the screening round was a major bottleneck that didn’t just slow the process down, but also made it nearly impossible for the team to identify the best candidates quickly.
The hunt for the right solution
Apisero wanted to tighten its shortlisting process by adding a layer of technical assessments to the existing screening process. They needed a platform that automatically filters out unqualified candidates at the screening stage, leaving only the most skilled to be considered for the role. The platform needed to be intuitive, scalable, and incredibly simple.
HackerEarth’s Assessments offered all the right benefits that Apisero’s was looking for. It came with an extensive library of questions that cover 80+ skills and 12+ job roles, making it easy to create coding tests quickly and objectively. The platform also generates a leaderboard for every assessment, ranking candidates automatically based on their test scores. This made it easy for Apisero to spot the best candidates at a glance and move them to the interview stage quickly.
How HackerEarth helped
