HackerRank is a technical skills platform that helps companies screen, interview, and hire developers based on what they can actually build rather than what their resume claims. Founded in 2009 by Vivek Ravisankar and Hari Karunanidhi, the company runs a two-sided model: a community where millions of developers practice coding challenges, and an enterprise product that lets 3,000+ companies - including a large share of the Fortune 100 - assess candidates with real-world coding tests, live pair-programming interviews, and, increasingly, AI-assisted evaluation and proctoring.
Tigran Sloyan is the Co-Founder and CEO of CodeSignal, the AI-native skills platform transforming how the world hires and develops talent. Born in Armenia and educated at MIT in Mathematics and Computer Science, he co-founded CodeSignal in 2015 after witnessing first-hand how resume bias blocked talented people from being seen. The company has raised $90M+, counts Google, Meta, Netflix, and Anthropic among its clients, and is on a mission to #GoBeyondResumes - replacing credential gatekeeping with verified skills.
