Purpose of the Project

The goal was to filter over 100 applicantsto find the best-suited people based on their skills and select 10 peopleto participate in the 6-month internship program.

It was important to optimize the work of recruiters, systematize the collection of projects in one place and minimize the engineers’ time, as well asthe lowest cost of verificationof competences.

Strategy

We started our cooperation with defining the requirements for candidates and preparing a set of tasks to test the required competences, covering such issues as:

• programming skills in one of the following languages: Golang, Java, Javascript, Objective-C, Python, Ruby, Scala or Swift
• passion in solving interesting challenges
• ability to work in a team
• commitment to learning and skills development

preparing a company account and providing access to employees’ accounts (people from HR and Engineers).

The presentation of the requirements, platform and expectations towards the platform took place at an online event, with the use of materials prepared by us for candidates and evaluators.

Candidates were invited and could join the program via a personalized link. It was important that no one outside Dublin joined the path.

Thanks to the system, it was possible to systematize the cooperation between HR and Engineers, and to unify the provision of feedback to candidates.

For a week, 109 candidates posted 560 solutions.

Results confirmed

Very smooth process, from first presentation and publication of access, only week to solve problems, another week to verify solutions and select the best suited candidates.

Efficient testing of candidates with minimal involvement of engineers.

Virtually without distracting them from work !
