Hackajob operates a full‑stack talent platform focused on helping enterprise organizations find, engage, hire and retain technical individuals. Its core product is a two‑sided marketplace where companies pitch roles to candidates, driving an 85% response rate from talent. The company also offers a testing and remote interviewing platform plus a diversity and inclusion module, and it collects structured candidate data (salary, visa status, location, tech stack) that it feeds into machine‑learning models to improve relevancy. Hackajob validates skills so employers receive candidates with confirmed capabilities. Founded in 2014, the company reports just north of $10 million ARR and a net revenue retention rate of around 150%. It has over 500,000 candidate users, 200 paying (global enterprise) customers, and roughly 120 employees; it recently hired 19 people, 16 of whom were sourced via its own marketplace. hackajob operates a talent-matching platform that connects companies with technical candidates by prioritizing skills over backgrounds. Clients are automatically matched with curated candidates from a talent pool of over 60,000 technical people and can view candidates' code or cloud infrastructure implementations alongside profiles. Companies can manage interviews, integrate with existing ATSs, and ask candidates to complete bespoke challenges built by hackajob. The platform has been used by over 1,000 companies, including Argos, Capital One and Apple. The company plans to use the funding to continue building proprietary recruitment technologies, expand client and candidate relations teams, and invest in marketing. hackajob was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in London. Hackajob operates a recruitment platform that holds weekly 'hackasprints'—online challenges that generate data used to match technical talent to employer openings. The company’s technology assesses code quality, efficiency and industry best practices to rank candidates objectively and surface 'diamonds in the rough.' Employers can search a community of more than 25,000 users and view leaderboards of candidates ranked by performance, which the founders say improves transparency and levels the playing field. Hackajob is exploring how artificial intelligence could identify traits and patterns in successful candidates to find earlier-stage talent, though this work is at a very early stage. The startup positions its product as a way to reduce bias in hiring by focusing on demonstrated skill rather than paper credentials. It has also raised external capital, most recently picking up seed funding to support growth.
