HackerRank Tests is a coding assessment framework that automates the screening of developers. With the Tests integration, interviewers can import a candidate’s screening test, including questions and submitted code, directly into an interview session.

Import questions at the start of the Interview

If a candidate has completed a test before the interview, a dialog box appears at the start of the interview session. The dialog box prompts the interviewer to import the test and displays the candidate’s overall score. Interviewers can also view the full test report within the interview interface.

Once the test questions are imported into the interview, the candidate’s score for each question is displayed. Click on Detailed Report to view the candidate's test report inside the interview.
