HackerRank’s AI interviewer offers a glimpse into what job interviews could become
HackerRank made its Chakra AI interviewer generally available after more than 500,000 beta interviews.
HackerRank is making Chakra, an AI agent that conducts developer interviews, generally available after about six months in beta. Candidates work a task in a real code repository with an AI assistant while Chakra asks follow-ups and scores judgment and AI fluency, not only the final answer. The company says it ran more than 500,000 interviews in testing, including trials by Snowflake, Snorkel, and Capgemini, and that suspicious-activity flags were 70 to 80 percent lower than in traditional assessments. CEO Vivek Ravisankar said Chakra scores candidates but humans make hiring decisions, and he noted New York City's bias-audit and notice rules for automated employment tools.
