“I'm a little confused, is this an ATS system that anyone actually uses?”

You read my mind. If the answer is “no”, then we can ignore this.

For one, if you go on to Hacker Rank's "Screen" page, they mention the product is used by Stripe/AirBnB/LinkedIn/Atlassian/IBM etc etc. I imagine that there's plenty more companies using it too.

But I'd also assume that their competitors are doing something similar so I don't think we as an industry can just ignore that it's happening.

    That seems to be a different type of product.

  • Interesting, thanks. I admittedly spent zero time looking into it :)

    I’m surprised open source contributions count for so much. first I thought was “is that something people actually list in as resume?”. But it looks like it pulls your GitHub account and appends that information.

    That kind of unfortunate for anyone who doesn’t use GitHub
