Case Study: Odessa Technologies screens 10,000+ candidates 60X faster and cuts hiring costs 7X with HackerEarth Recruit

How Odessa screened 10,000+ candidates for its campus hiring

Odessa Technologies, a Philadelphia-based provider of loan and lease-management software, needed to scale its campus hiring while reducing the time and resources spent on manual pen-and-paper testing. To screen a large pool of candidates more efficiently, Odessa Technologies partnered with HackerEarth and used the HackerEarth Recruit platform.

HackerEarth implemented Recruit to run customized, auto-evaluated coding tests (covering 25+ languages), screen 1,700+ candidates simultaneously, and provide 24/7 support and on-site assistance. In five months HackerEarth helped Odessa Technologies run 70+ drives across 40 colleges, assess 10,000+ candidates, and hire 60 programmers — cutting assessment time from 10,000+ man-hours to 160 hours, reducing resources from 10+ to 3, and lowering costs from ~$100,000 to ~$13,000 (roughly 60× faster, 3× fewer resources, and 7× lower cost).
