Case Study: Manulife saves $215k+ and reduces hiring bias with HackerRank

How HackerRank Helped Manulife Save $200k+ By Bringing Developers Careers to Life

Manulife, a financial services company undergoing digital transformation, needed a faster, more consistent way to hire engineers while reducing bias and supporting career growth. Using HackerRank and its Developer Skills Platform, Manulife added at-home assessments and CodePair interviews to evaluate technical skills and fit more efficiently.

HackerRank helped Manulife simplify candidate scoring, improve confidence in hiring decisions, and minimize bias across the process. The impact has been measurable: Manulife has completed about 230 CodePair interviews and estimates it has saved around $215,000 since 2019 by using HackerRank to streamline engineering hiring.
