IBM Kenexa BrassRing - HackerRank Integration

Last updated: May 6, 2026

Overview

HackerRank integrates with IBM Kenexa BrassRing through a standardized Candidate Export and Form Import XML API. If you have experience with these APIs and are a BrassRing Workbench administrator, you should be able to configure the integration yourself. If you are not familiar with these APIs, it is recommended that you work with IBM Kenexa professional services who can make the changes on your behalf. 

Key Features for Tests Integration

  • Send Test invitations to HackerRank assessments from within BrassRing 

    • Optionally specify Time Accommodation% to extend assessment for certain candidates

  • Receive Test Results in a BrassRing form when a candidate completes an assessment.

  • Support for Candidates on Multiple Requisitions.

    • If a Candidate applies to multiple requisitions, they only need to take the HackerRank assessment once, the results will be sent to all requisitions that requested the test.

    • If a candidate has taken the test in the past, the historical result will be sent back to BrassRing.

  • Preserve HackerRank role-based access and permissions when taking actions in BrassRing
