Why startups are switching from HackerRank to Promap
Promap is for teams who don’t want to spend 100 hours hiring
Promap is built specifically for teams who value their time and don't want to spend hundreds of hours bogged down in the hiring process. With AI-powered candidate screening, structured interviews, and insightful summaries, Promap reduces hiring time from weeks to days. It's the smartest way for startups and SMBs to quickly find and confidently hire the best-fit talent.

HackerRank works—if you’re a large enterprise
HackerRank is the legacy standard for coding assessments. It’s powerful but built for structured teams with recruiters, coordinators, and technical interviewers in place. It’s less ideal for:
- ❌ Non-technical founders hiring for technical roles
- ❌ Teams hiring 1–3 roles per year
- ❌ Anyone who wants more than just a test score
Why Promap feels like magic for lean hiring teams
Promap’s AI doesn’t just ask questions—it listens, probes, and evaluates. It conducts skill-based interviews just like a seasoned hiring manager would, even if you’ve never hired for that role before.

From sourcing to offer, Promap automates your hiring pipeline. It’s not just interviews—it’s your recruiting team in a box.
