Case Study: SoFi achieves scalable, fair hiring of skilled, mission-aligned engineers with HackerRank

Sofi on Hiring Skilled Engineers Who Share Their Vision

SoFi is a growing fintech on a mission to help members "get their money right" through a one-stop banking and investing platform. As the company scaled its product and engineering teams, it needed to hire developers who share its member-focused vision while maintaining fair, unbiased technical screening and a great candidate experience — challenges that became more urgent when interviews moved online during COVID.

SoFi adopted HackerRank’s take-home assessments and live coding Interview platform to standardize and upskill its technical hiring. The tools delivered an IDE-like experience engineers like, enabled a seamless shift to remote interviewing (now 1,000+ interviews per year), and helped the company evaluate diverse candidates consistently, resulting in more reliable hiring aligned with SoFi’s mission.
