HackerRank vs Adaface

Adaface vs HackerRank (Key Differences)

1. Question bank

Adaface: Adaface questions are designed to test for on-the-job skills, as opposed to theoretical knowledge. They are designed to simulate scenarios that the candidates might come across while performing the role, are hence the scores reflective of qualifications for the job. There are no trick questions included just to filter out candidates. Every candidate gets a fair chance to showcase their skills.

You can check Adaface sample questions.

HackerRank: HackerRank has a vast library of questions aimed at core internal concepts of data structures and algorithms. These questions are proven to test candidates ability to optimize hard algorithms within the time constraints. This works best for roles that require niche algorithm design skills, similar to that of a competitive programmer or to test fresh graduates.

2. Test taking rate

Adaface: Our conversational assessments have an average completion rate of 86%.

HackerRank: Traditional assessment platforms like HackerRank see a test taking rate of ~50%. In some geographies, this can be as low as 30%.

3. Candidate experience and candidate sentiment

Instead of forcing candidates to go through a traditional assessment, conversational assessments use friendly messaging and intelligent chatbots to engage candidates and screen them for your role. Conversational assessments are the best way to start a relationship with your candidates.

We understand how much candidate experience matters. Our bot, Ada, provides a friendly experience to candidates throughout the assessment (right from a warm invitation email, to giving details about the role & company, giving hints they are stuck etc.) and making sure that candidates have a smile on their face at the end of the chat, irrespective of the result.

A simple google search is enough to show the candidate sentiment for a technical screening platform.

2. Experience level/ salary: The assessments will be customized in difficulty according to the experience level you are targeting.
3. Adaptive assessments: For e.g. for your front-end engineering role you are looking for a candidate who is proficient in either React or Angular, the candidate will first be asked for their preference, and they will be asked questions on only that skill.

Aptitude assessments

In addition to technical and coding assessments, Adaface also offers a wide range of aptitude based assessments. Check out our range of conversational aptitude tests.

Adaface helps you identify the top candidates for all your tech roles and save crucial engineering time by screening candidates with 750+ custom assessments for on-the-job skills (all programming languages, frameworks, aptitude). Top candidates prefer Adaface because our bot, Ada has a friendly chat involving relevant code challenges with them as opposed to asking trick questions on a test.

What is HackerRank?

HackerRank is a huge community of developers. It also has a technical screening platform that companies can use to conduct online coding tests for first round screening. Candidates go through a timeboxed coding test as part of the screening process and aim to solve competitive programming challenges to prove their algorithm designing skills.
