Case Study: Itron achieves 36% faster hiring with HackerEarth Recruit

How Itron improved its hiring efficiency by 36%

Itron, a global provider of smart networks, software and metering solutions, faced time-consuming, manual technical hiring for both lateral and campus roles. Recruiters depended on referrals, job portals and agencies, and the end-to-end lateral hire process took about 55 days while campus drives struggled to evaluate large student pools efficiently. To address these challenges, Itron engaged HackerEarth and adopted its Recruit technical recruitment platform.

HackerEarth’s Recruit automated online aptitude tests and time‑bound coding challenges (supporting 35+ languages), enabling structured multi‑round screening for campus drives (7 campuses, 2‑day assessment window, 4–5 offers) and faster evaluation of lateral candidates. The solution cut Itron’s lateral recruitment cycle by 36% — from roughly 55 days to 35 days — streamlined workflows, broadened reach to qualified candidates, and removed much of the manual testing burden.
