What we do

hackajob is reimagining how top companies hire technical talent by making the process fairer, faster and based on skills rather than backgrounds.
Our custom-built code analysing tool allows us to look at an applicant's previous projects, and how they perform in our coding challenges, to understand their overall coding competency. Companies are then algorithmically matched, using AI, with applicants based on skills, not CVs. As a result, our average time to hire is 16 days - one of the fastest in the space.
Over 1500 companies such as Argos, Capital One and Apple have found success through the hackajob platform by reducing the time to hire, engaging with candidates and most importantly, removing the bias from the recruitment process and hiring based on technical ability.
