Strong technical talent is the foundation of success for any modern company, and finding candidates who are the right match is difficult and inefficient, especially in these uncertain markets.
To provide organizations with a more robust recruiting solution in 2023 and beyond, HackerRank, the global leader in technical assessments and interviews, has joined forces with Celential.ai, the industry-leading technical sourcing solution. This partnership will streamline the recruiting process for hiring teams and enable them to fill technical roles faster with the most qualified candidates.
“It’s a natural partnership because our solutions are highly complementary,” says Andrew Dong, CEO and Co-founder of Celential.ai. “Celential helps hiring teams build a strong, sustainable tech talent pipeline at the top of the funnel, while HackerRank empowers them to seamlessly and efficiently evaluate candidates’ tech skills. We’re working together to create a new standard for tech hiring.”
Source and Evaluate Top-Tier Talent at Scale
Celential.ai helps auto-pilot tech talent sourcing for hiring teams, saving 90% of the time compared to traditional search and outreach methods. Powered by AI, Celential identifies candidates right for the job, team, and company with 80% accuracy, and engages them with hyper-personalized pitch messages at scale. Hiring teams receive candidates interested in interviewing with them in less than a week — with no new tools or workflows.
Candidates who pass the introductory interview are then evaluated and benchmarked by HackerRank’s platform, with pre-built or customized coding assessments up to the highest levels of seniority. Combined with HackerRank’s 24×7 global support, 99.5% uptime, and industry-leading plagiarism and proctoring tools built with machine learning, hiring teams can significantly reduce the time it takes to find candidates with the right technical skills for in-depth engagement.
“HackerRank’s mission is to accelerate the world’s innovation through skills-based hiring,” said Jesse Sims, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at HackerRank. “Celential.ai joins us in that mission. With solutions designed to build highly skilled talent pipelines, they make for a key partner as we set out to change the technical hiring status quo.”
Gain Unprecedented Insight Into Candidates
Celential.ai’s powerful tech sourcing capability is underpinned by its proprietary Talent Graph, which provides deep insight into candidates, such as career trajectory, domain expertise, and skill proficiency — far beyond what’s available on their social networks or resumes. The Talent Graph is vertically optimized for technical recruiting with thousands of data sources and purpose-built machine learning algorithms. It currently covers 10M+ fully indexed tech talent across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, with more regions launching soon.
HackerRank offers by far the most extensive set of skills assessments in the tech industry, from popular programming frameworks to niche languages. Each assessment is based on a thorough job analysis and input from subject-matter experts to ensure that the skills required in a role are actually being tested. Hiring teams can access complete assessment results, skills data, and actionable insights via its seamless developer skills platform.
