Watch them code
live.
Run a hackathon, see how people actually build, interview the best of them with AI, and make an offer - all without leaving HackSprint.
Four things no other
hiring platform does.
Most platforms either list jobs or run contests. We turn the hackathon itself into a hire you can actually stand behind.
Describe the work.
The AI Assistant writes the code.
The AI Assistant is a coding agent that lives inside HackSprint's Cloud IDE. Someone just says what they want - a feature, a bug fix, a refactor - and it goes and does it: writing files, editing code, running the result. A brief turns into working software through a plain conversation. And because it all happens out in the open, you get to see how each person scopes a problem, asks for what they need, and checks the work before they trust it.
A great submission isn't 100 perfect turns. It's 5 sharp ones.
An agent that writes the code
Candidates describe the change in plain English and the assistant makes it happen - new files, edited code, run right there in the Cloud IDE.
See how they build with AI
Since the assistant does the typing, what you're really watching is how they think - how clearly they ask, how they break a problem down, and whether they check the result.
How engineers actually ship now
Directing an AI agent to ship features is just how engineering works now. The hackathon drops people into exactly that setup, so you see how they'll really work.
Your hackathon.
Your rules. Your brand.
Run invite-only competitions under your own brand, on your own schedule, scored your way. You keep control of every step and we handle the plumbing behind it.
Reach the entire
builder community.
List your hackathon on HackSprint's public feed. Once it's approved, the whole builder community can find it - more sign-ups, more eyes on your brand, and it costs you nothing to get there.
500 candidates.
One AI watching them all.
No human team can keep an eye on 500 people at once. The AI can. It watches every session as it happens, flags anything that looks off, checks identities, and keeps a record you can point to later if anyone asks how a decision was made.
Run sprints. Find your next hire.
Hiring engineers, running a university lab, training your own team, or scouting bootcamp grads? HackSprint takes you from the first invite all the way to the offer.
