Case Study: Addepar achieves 70% hiring cost savings and attracts global engineering talent with HackerRank

How Addepar Hires the Best Engineers to Transform Finance

Addepar, a financial technology company on a mission to transform finance, needed a way to attract top engineering talent worldwide without spending excessive time or money. With tech hiring costly (about $20,000 per hire) and skilled developers scattered across the globe, Addepar required a scalable, cost-effective recruiting approach.

Addepar partnered with HackerRank to run a global CodeSprint—an online, finance-focused hackathon with custom coding challenges—which attracted 3,800+ competitors across eight countries and produced 130 interview-qualified candidates and seven hires. The event cut recruiting costs by 70%, boosted Addepar’s brand among engineers, and delivered a pipeline of high-quality talent.
