Case Study: UBS Standardizes Remote Hiring and Improves Candidate Experience with HackerRank

UBS standardizes remote hiring with HackerRank as 40% of developers worldwide use the platform

UBS, a leading global bank, faced challenges in efficiently assessing a high volume of tech candidates and scaling their engineering team globally, especially with the shift to remote hiring. They sought to standardize their recruitment process and improve the candidate experience. To address this, they turned to the vendor HackerRank and its Developer Skills Platform, leveraging features like virtual whiteboarding and skill assessments.

The solution implemented with HackerRank enabled UBS to define a global standard for engineering talent, using the same tests for both internal and contingent hiring. This standardized assessment improved hiring quality and flexibility while expanding their talent pool. HackerRank's tools, such as the Scorecard functionality for immediate feedback, enhanced the interview process for hiring managers and candidates alike. As a result, UBS improved its tech image and shifted towards a more effective model of attracting, rather than just processing, high-quality candidates.
