Case Study: Ryanair achieves faster, more efficient hiring with HackerRank

Ryanair is Europe’s largest airline group carrying 149 Million guests per annum on more than 2,500 daily flights to over 200 destinations in 40 countries

Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline group carrying 149 million guests annually on more than 2,500 daily flights to 200+ destinations in 40 countries, needed a faster, more reliable way to evaluate engineering talent at scale and give candidates timely feedback. The challenge was to make hiring decisions quickly while building trust with applicants and ensuring candidates’ skills matched business needs beyond what resumes showed.

By adopting HackerRank’s assessment platform and CodePair for real-time pair programming, Ryanair’s recruiting team gets immediate test results, can run live collaborative interviews, and use skills-rubric scores to back hiring recommendations. This sped up evaluations, improved feedback and candidate experience, and gave recruiters greater control and confidence in advocating for talent.
