Alva Coding Tests is the HackerRank alternative that makes developer hiring sensible instead of a university exam. Finally, a coding test tool that helps evaluate the on-the-job engineering skills.
Alva Coding Tests enabled us to automate our interview process and scale it from 10s of candidates to 100s of candidates, while still keeping it grounded in solving real-world, practical problems.
I very much like the core concept of Alva Coding Tests - making the hiring process for engineers more like the actual day-to-day life, rather than some kind of theoretical review. The cases are well thought-through and map right to what our engineers do in their job.
HackerRank is a great company that built a massive developer community.
That said, you’re here for a reason. And the fact of the matter is that HackerRank is a generic tool meant to appeal to a vast number of needs and industries.
If you’re okay with using generic coding tests not targeting the on-the-job skills, Alva Coding Tests probably won’t be a good fit for you. But if you want to figure out whether your candidates have the necessary real-world expertise, you’re in the right place.
Here are nine ways Alva Coding Tests outperform HackerRank.
