Adriana’s Triumphant Return to Programming After 14 Years as a Stay-at-Home-Mom

Randstad Sourceright was looking to fill a data science-related engineering role but was struggling to surface strong candidates from traditional resumes alone. Using HackerRank, the hiring team was able to evaluate a non-traditional candidate, Adriana Rivera, a software developer returning to work after a 14-year career break, and objectively compare her skills against other applicants.

HackerRank’s coding assessment helped Randstad Sourceright validate Adriana’s abilities across the real skills needed for the job, including SQL, API calls, algorithms, and regex. The quantitative results showed she outperformed candidates who looked stronger on paper, leading to a successful hire and giving the team confidence in a more skills-based hiring approach.
