Unified Candidate Timeline

If you are a recruiter using HackerRank for Work who wanted to pull together a comprehensive view of all Test and CodePair activity of a particular candidate, you would have realised that is not possible. Well, till today! We are happy to announce the launch of a simple but exciting feature that unifies all of your interaction with candidates. We do this by creating a unique page per candidate that consolidates all the activity related to that candidate, such as invite sent, test attempted, CodePair interview scheduled, etc.

Here is a sample unified timeline:

Unified Candidate

Here you can see Shikhar’s personal profile – as captured in your Test forms, a profile photo picked up from Gravatar (if available), and all Test / CodePair activity neatly shown along a timeline.

Entry Points

Anywhere you find a candidate email address as a link, clicking on the link will take you to that Candidate’s page. Currently there are four types of pages where you can find these links:

  1. The candidate search results (what you get from using the search box in the common header found on all pages of the app)
  2. Reports tables – invited, completed, and all other report tables where we display the email address of a candidate
  3. Within a Test Report
  4. Within a CodePair Report

 

Privacy and Information Seggregation

One word of reassurance before we wrap this up.

Your company’s interactions with a candidate is your data and will not be shared with anyone else, just like you do not get to see any other company’s interactions with said candidate. The candidate timeline you see is just the candidate’s interaction with your company.  In fact the candidate page URL contains a unique identifier that a candidates gets assigned for your company. Even if this same candidate has taken a test or CodePair interviews with another company they would be assigned another identifier. This logically separates candidate records across companies and protects your data.
