Our mission at HackerRank is to match every developer to the right job, focusing on skills rather than resumes, which often poorly correlate to actual abilities.

As a developer, you can practice and improve your skills on HackerRank across various dimensions like algorithms, artificial intelligence, and data-based skills.

At HackerRank, we encourage developers to work on side projects and support their learning endeavors. Even developers with a computer science degree often learn a lot from YouTube and platforms like HackerRank.

Hiring for remote work involves assessing candidates through practical projects rather than just interviews to gauge their self-management skills.

Instead of submitting a resume, developers can take a company's coding challenge, which allows them to demonstrate their skills directly.

Companies are starting to recognize the importance of both IQ and EQ in hiring remote developers, focusing on skills and personality.

Larger companies tend to rely more on brain teasers in interviews, which can introduce noise, but they often use them as a standard part of their hiring process. Bigger companies focus more on measuring innate ability rather than specific coding skills for their codebase, while smaller companies prioritize immediate productivity in specific technologies like Ruby on Rails.

Most tech companies follow a standardized hiring process, which includes resume screening, recruiter calls, technical phone screens, take-home projects, and on-site interviews.

I publicly demonstrated using Interview Coder during an Amazon interview, highlighting how easy it is to hack the interview process.
