About HackerRank Work

HackerRank Work is one of the ATS / Recruiting platforms BeforeQuery connects to. Once linked, the platform's data becomes a first-class source for grounded AI answers and a target for policy-gated agent actions — the same identity, approval, and audit-log guarantees every other integration ships with.

Use cases

What teams actually do with the HackerRank Work integration

Interview-stage automation

When a candidate advances to on-site in HackerRank Work, a playbook drafts the calendar invites for the panel, sends the candidate a prep packet with your travel-and-logistics doc, and sets a scorecard-due reminder for interviewers 24 hours after the interview.

Rejection email drafts grounded in interview notes

When a candidate is moved to "rejected" in HackerRank Work, BeforeQuery drafts a personalized rejection email that references the specific stage they reached and (optionally, per your policy) high-level feedback — without exposing individual interviewer notes.

HackerRank Work — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to HackerRank Work.

Yes, gated by your approval matrix. Stage-forward moves (schedule interview, extend offer) are typically approver-required; stage-back moves (reject, hold) can be autopilot with a reason logged. All moves reversible via the audit trail.
No — BeforeQuery is read-and-write scoped, not a ranking replacement. Your ATS's own scoring is untouched. BeforeQuery draws on the same data to answer questions, draft communications, and orchestrate downstream actions.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where HackerRank Work supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your HackerRank Work data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every HackerRank Work integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific HackerRank Work objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch HackerRank Work for real.
