Looking for HackerRank alternatives?

Adaface is the best HackerRank alternative to evaluate the on-the-job skills of your candidates.

Adaface is "you'll never go back" better


First we’d just like to give a quick nod to the team at HackerRank. They are part of the ecosystem helping companies hire great candidates and have been in the space for a while. So what’s the difference between HackerRank and Adaface? Sure there are features and product stuff that’s different but the biggest difference is how much we care about candidate experience. We want to ensure every candidate leaves the screening experience with a smile. We believe that status quo tech assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. We started Adaface to help companies find strong teammates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role. We set up 45 min candidate-friendly, custom assessments that test for on-the-job skills.

The hiring managers felt that through the technical questions that they asked during the panel interviews, they were able to tell which candidates had better scores, and differentiated with those who did not score as well. They are highly satisfied with the quality of candidates shortlisted with the Adaface screening.

Why Adaface is the best Alternative to HackerRank? 👇

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.

Adaface assessments are tailored to your job description by our subject matter experts from our library of 10000+ non-googleable questions. Once you sign up for any of our plans, you can request custom assessments from your dashboard, which will be set up in <48 hours. Here is what you can do with custom assessments:

  1. Multiple skills: We can set up custom tests which can test candidates for multiple skills. For eg. for your accounting role, the test can have questions on accounting, finance, Excel, logical reasoning, verbal reasoning and English.
