Case Study: Foursquare achieves reliable, developer-friendly technical interviews and deeper hiring insights with HackerRank

Foursquare is a location technology platform dedicated to improving how people move through the real world

Foursquare needed a more reliable, scalable way to evaluate engineering candidates remotely—one that delivered real-world technical interviews, clear candidate communications, and deeper insight into system-design ability and technical maturity. The company was looking to transform its hiring experience while integrating smoothly with existing ATS workflows.

HackerRank’s Developer Skills Platform provided an industry-tested skills rubric, company-branded invitations, a best-in-class IDE, interview scheduling and ATS integration, and a Virtual Whiteboard for assessing system design. The result was a transformed, seamless recruiting process that enabled reliable remote interviews developers enjoy and gave Foursquare interviewers strong visibility into candidate capabilities.
