Summer ’26 Release
Summer ’26 Release
The best developers don't just write code, they orchestrate agents. Hire for the agentic era with deeper insight into AI Fluency, sharper interviews from Chakra, and integrity signals you can trust.
CHAKRA
01 of 04
Evaluate the Reasoning Behind the Code
Chakra, HackerRank's AI interviewer, now opens an in-line code editor mid-interview, asking candidates to solve a real coding question and probing their approach with follow-up questions, so you see how they think, not just the code they produce.

Upgraded Detection Accuracy
Improved proctoring accuracy sharpens object and screenshot detection, and more reliably handles image analysis (multiple faces, a different person, or a candidate stepping away) across home, campus, and low-light setups. It also recognizes more communication patterns in the code editor, including regional languages written in English.

Interview Candidates in Real Code Repositories
The HackerRank Library adds Plan-Build-Review repository assessments, where candidates work in a real, prebuilt codebase to investigate a customer-style ticket, use AI to plan a fix, build it, and explain their approach in review. This release adds 159 of these assessments, plus hundreds of new project and coding questions and new AI Engineering questions for skills like prompt engineering and RAG.
