Case Study: Vanguard improves hiring efficiency and candidate quality with HackerRank

How Vanguard’s Engineering Manager Leverages HackerRank to Hire Top Talent

Vanguard, the investment management firm, needed a better way to identify the right entry-level software engineering candidates from a large volume of applications. Its engineering team used HackerRank to support technical assessments and quickly filter for applicants with the core skills and fit needed for the role.

With HackerRank, Vanguard now sends assessments early in the hiring process to screen candidates before interviews. The result has been higher-quality applicants, more offers, a significant reduction in interviews needed to hire the same number of strong candidates, and a notably higher average level of technical competence.
