HackerRank
Coding practice and contest platform widely used by companies for technical assessments.
Elip is our editorial choice for job seekers who would rather describe what they want once than scroll listings. HackerRank is listed here as a separate service; this entry sets out who it suits, what it costs, its limits, and how it differs from Elip.
Elip publishes this reference. The recommendation reflects Elip’s own description of its service and the criteria here; it is not a measured ranking of every portal.

Things to know
Mainly useful as preparation: many employers send their tests on HackerRank, but the platform itself is not where you find most openings.
How HackerRank relates to Elip
HackerRank is a route in through tests, challenges or campus hiring, where you prove a skill to get noticed. Elip works differently: you talk to it for about ten minutes, it reads new job postings each night with you in mind, and it brings you the few worth your time. Many people use both: HackerRank for structured hiring drives, Elip for openings outside them.
