Why Companies Hire Developers on Geektrust

Posted by

For over 150 enterprises, startups and product companies that hire developers through Geektrust, hiring is faster, easier and more productive than traditional hiring methods, especially for senior roles. They find good developers without spending hours in code testing, reviewing and interviewing candidates that don’t have the skill levels they are looking for.

And the best part? Significantly lower post-offer drop-offs and zero ghosting from candidates, which we’ve heard are problems that keep entire tech recruitment teams awake at night.

Besides these benefits of speed, ease and better outcomes, why do companies hire Geektrust Members? We asked the companies, and here’s what we found.

Spotting hands-on developers

Most companies today look for a different level of skill and experience compared to large service companies of yore. One thing we often hear especially from product companies and startups is, “we’d like the candidates we interview to know their code, be open to exploring new things and have a hands-on approach; we don’t care where they studied or worked”.

Geektrust’s coding challenges are designed to test real-world coding skills that come easy to someone who’s used to building solutions day in and day out using code. If someone’s cracked it, it pretty much means they are hands-on. And the fact that a candidate’s code is already available before shortlisting them is a bonus.

Insight through code

The solutions for our coding problems reveal more about a developer than a resume or the average code-test does. You get to know about their approach to problem solving, how creative, thorough, organized, detail-oriented and how sounds their fundamentals are. This is the kind of depth that a competitive test or a DSA challenge cannot provide. 

Mutual appreciation

Since we meet and evaluate companies to gauge them for being stable, interesting and innovative, the companies on Geektrust are different from the run-of-the mill “thousands of jobs”. And companies also get to meet talented developers. Both parties understand the value of this, and have an appreciation for each other before they meet. Humans at Geektrust help build this respect and transparency, and lay the groundwork for a great interview experience.

Zero-waste hiring

Companies see the clear difference in the quality of a Geektrust code-assessed developer, and save 90% of the time and effort spent in candidate screening. The hirers and developers spend only the necessary amount of time and energy, eliminating wasteful hiring practices that often get frustrating.
