New Delhi: Online programing platform HackerEarth on Thursday announced its entry into the US and Japanese markets to help enterprises in these geographies assess technical skills of developers and build developer relations.
HackerEarth also allows programmers to practice and improve programming skills, compete in coding challenges/hackathons and showcase their profiles.
Through reseller partnerships with DICE (US) and Webstaff (Japan), HackerEarth's core products - Recruit and Sprint - will now be available in North America and Japan, the Bengaluru-based firm said in statement.
The products will help in accelerating the technical hiring process, improve applicant quality for employers and provide a tool for candidates to set themselves apart, it added.

'Recruit' allows companies to conduct tests to screen technical candidates. It automatically creates challenges, remotely evaluates candidates and gives a detailed and objective insight on technical skills of candidates.
'Sprint', on the other hand, is a hackathon management tool used by organisations for developer engagement through various intra-company activities like product development challenges, and branding hackathons.
The DICE partnership with HackerEarth will enable DICE to offer customisable tests for purchase by employers to screen and qualify candidates in 32 different programming languages.
