With AI becoming an operational reality, HackerRank launched the groundbreaking ASTRA benchmark, which assesses the capabilities of foundational models on real-world problems, measuring correctness, consistency, efficiency, cost and communication. Examining metrics that matter, HackerRank ASTRA offers valuable insights into the reliability and performance of models like Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini and more.

Likewise, in response to customer needs brought on by the swiftly changing AI landscape, HackerRank introduced a series of product enhancements designed to modernize the technical hiring experience, including:

  • Proctor mode – HackerRank's Proctor mode provides AI-powered assessment integrity by setting test instructions, detecting suspicious behavior in real-time and delivering a comprehensive report with a full-session replay.
  • AI interviewer – Now available for initial candidate screening, HackerRank's new AI interviewer features contextual real-time hints, progressive complexity and thought process evaluation to simulate a human-like interview experience.
  • Engage assistant – The new HackerRank AI assistant automatically builds talent pipelines by rediscovering and sourcing candidates with the skills needed to fill current roles and generates targeted marketing campaigns with on-brand microsites and email campaigns.
  • AI tutor – SkillUp's AI tutor helps developers upskill through real-world practice challenges with AI-driven support, creates structured learning paths that resemble the job and certifies them as next-gen developers.

Consistently delivering solutions that meet customers where hiring is now, HackerRank is rooted in deep industry insights and a perpetually pioneering mindset. In addition to releasing these product enhancements and updates, HackerRank hosted its annual AI Day event, which brought together executive thought leaders from GitHub and Perplexity to validate the impact of AI on software development. Quickly followed by the release of HackerRank's popular Developer Skills Report, which confirmed that 67 percent of developers feel that AI has increased the pressure to deliver faster, often at unsustainable rates, this research has been lauded by industry experts and enterprises alike. It highlights the importance of striking a balance between developer productivity and realistic performance expectations in the context of the overall business, while also providing additional support for learning and upskilling.

Vivek Ravisankar, CEO of HackerRank, commented, "As AI transforms and enriches the developer experience, we are focused on empowering organizations to hire fairly, upskill continuously and build future-ready teams. Our next-gen initiatives reflect our leadership in remaining ahead of AI's pace and possibilities, so that our customers and community can too."
