Skills on HackerRank

HackerRank helps customers standardize their hiring process by providing them with specifically curated skill-based content to test candidates. Additionally, interviewers and evaluators can add their feedback on specific skills through scorecards.

How Can Skills Help Companies?

With skills, users on HackerRank can now use Roles to create Tests and Interviews. Each Role, in turn, has one or more skills mapped to it. Based on skills captured inside a role, the platform offers a seamless way to create tests using standard content and capture interviewers’ feedback on a structured scorecard.

See HackerRank's Skills Directory to know more about the list of available skills on our platform.

Purpose of Skill-Based Insights

When HackerRank generates skill-based insights from a candidate's test or interview performance, it aggregates them into a skill summary report inside the candidate packet.

The candidate packet serves as a single source of truth for a candidate’s skills within HackerRank. It includes reports and scorecards from all assessments and interviews the candidate completes for a specific role.
