Case Study: UKG achieves a stronger early career candidate experience with HackerRank

UKG’s Transformative Approach to Early Career Recruitment with HackerRank

UKG, a company focused on early career recruitment across internships and entry-level tech roles, was challenged by a high volume of applicants, the need for a strong candidate experience, and the pressure to identify technical talent quickly without relying too heavily on pedigree. UKG used HackerRank as part of its hiring process to help screen candidates, support technical assessments, and guide applicants toward prep resources.

HackerRank helped UKG streamline skill-based screening, run live coding interviews, and use analytics and surveys to refine questions and improve pass-through rates. The result was a more efficient and candidate-friendly process, stronger confidence in technical evaluation, and a significantly improved hire rate, while also helping UKG build a more diverse and higher-quality early careers pipeline.
