AI-Powered Tech Hiring at Scale

How MyCareernet worked with a global cloud-testing leader to deliver speed and precision in hiring.

About the client

A global leader in cloud-based testing solutions with a strong employer brand and a reputation for driving innovation in software engineering.

The challenges

The client was experiencing roadblocks in their technology hiring process despite their strong brand presence, such as –

• Low candidate turnout, limiting access to top talent
• That seat became a hiring engine built from scratch, scaling to 100+ offers and 10+ leadership hires
• Poor match quality, with only a fraction of applicants meeting required skill levels
• Traditional sourcing limitations that restricted diversity

With business growth accelerating, the client needed an intelligent and scalable approach to hiring software engineers that aligned with both their technical standards and speed of execution.

Our solution

We ran a national-level hiring hackathon — a real-time, high-engagement recruitment format that served as both a talent attraction tool and a rigorous skill validation mechanism.

We also deployed our recruitment intelligence platform, designed to transform hiring through AI, automation, and personalisation.

Key components of the solution

• A customised hiring challenge aligned with the client’s tech stack and real-world engineering problems
• AI-powered assessments that ensured skill-aligned shortlisting with automated evaluation
• End-to-end remote execution, covering sourcing, assessment, interview, and onboarding
• Multi-channel sourcing through platforms such as LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Email
• A seamless candidate journey with real-time nudges and employer branding at every touchpoint

The hackathon was tailored to reflect the standards of the client’s engineering team, testing algorithmic thinking, code optimisation, and system design.

The candidate journey included the following stages

• Registration
  Over 26,000 candidates registered through targeted campaigns
• Shortlisting
  AI-driven filters evaluated technical and cognitive fit/span>
• Assessment
  Candidates were given the custom-built coding challenge with uilt-in proctoring and automated scoring/span>
• Engagement

• Interview and selection
  Top scorers were invited for remote interviews, with hiring managers using assessment data to make informed decisions quickly/span>
• Onboarding
  Selected candidates were transitioned smoothly into onboarding, with minimal lag

Impact created

• 30% faster time-to-hire,
• 40% increase in assessment completion rates
• Over 26,000 candidates engaged
• 25% boost in candidate engagement,
• Overall higher quality of hire

The hackathon also generated a conversion-ready pipeline for future openings, reducing sourcing time for upcoming openings.
