@corleyh Most exciting things are: 1) developers can find jobs based on actual skill rather than pedigree and 2) no more resume black hole. Once a developer takes a code challenge, they'll hear back from the company within 5 days. So now, you just have to be a great dev to find a great job.

@dparkmit@corleyh I think the best part about the app is that it's literally the PERFECT process for an engineer. We basically made this app by saying, how EXACTLY would an engineer want to get a job? Then we built it. And by we I mean all the wonderful makers at our company.
@nireyal Thanks! Yep. We're saving tons of time for recruiters and helping engineers find better opportunities. VMWare, one of our customers, used HackerRank to find a really good developer who was a dishwasher in Spain when he first applied.
@gayle Thanks! We rejected so many alternate designs because one thing the team unanimously agreed on was that a very simple and smooth candidate experience is critical to the success of the app.
Releasing HackerRank Jobs is the best moment of my professional life! I'm really proud of the team for making such a great experience. I'm even more excited about helping people find jobs based on their actual skills rather than pedigree or connections.

@arpitmah great job man. You put in a lot of work on this and it shows. The app is beautiful, so excited to share this with customers.
Congrats! I love how this really level the playing field for developers who don't have the traditional CS background. A guarantee response from the employer is a lovely touch.
@leonelmore Great question. For every qualified application, the company has to "unlock" the candidate's contact details. They get a maximum of 5 business days to do so and in case they don't, they lose access to "unlock" the candidate. And, this is communicated to the candidate. The reason such a system will work (as opposed to any other sourcing channel) is because companies only have to process qualified applicants from HackerRank Jobs. And "qualified" here is based on an objective assessment of their coding skills as opposed to proxy criteria like years of experience.

@arpitmah Thanks for your reply. Looks like a good plan!

As a recent grad who has been looking for a job for a few months now I'm very excited to put some time into this.

I'm incredibly proud to stand behind a product, team, and company that is completely and utterly world class. This app is that. It is by far the best thing I've seen in the technical recruiting software space. I'm so excited this is finally out there!
