Overview
HackerRank integrates with Greenhouse for Tests and Interviews enabling recruiters to directly initiate and conduct online coding interviews with their Candidates located remotely. The integration allows for a seamless Candidate assessment process in the Greenhouse hiring workflow. HackerRank Interview includes an in-built code editor which facilitates a collaborative coding experience for interviewers and their candidates.
This article describes how you can directly initiate interviews with Candidates in Greenhouse using the Tests and Interview options.
Greenhouse - HackerRank Tests Integration
In Greenhouse, the integration automatically creates a Hackerrank Test stage for jobs. When you associate this stage with a job's interview plan and move a Candidate to the HackerRank Test stage, a Send Test link is automatically available to send the HackerRank Test invitation.
