Dec 15, 20223 minutes read

Strong technical talent is the foundation of success for any modern company, and finding candidates who are the right match is difficult and inefficient, especially in these uncertain markets.

To provide organizations with a more robust recruiting solution in 2023 and beyond, HackerRank, the global leader in technical assessments and interviews, has joined forces with Celential.ai, the industry-leading technical sourcing solution. This partnership will streamline the recruiting process for hiring teams and enable them to fill technical roles faster with the most qualified candidates.
