Amidst the ongoing tech talent crunch, hiring developers is a vital challenge for global companies. But finding the right developers is a critical priority: the costs of mis-hires can be dire, especially for software development roles.

Geektastic: technical assessments for scaling businesses

That’s why we’re so excited to be partnering with Geektastic, experts in technical skills evaluation. This new partnership brings vital technical assessment expertise to our partner network. 

Using Geektastic’s technical assessment and code challenge platform, companies can evaluate candidates’ skills with a single assessment.

To streamline the process and enhance the candidate experience, the platform allows candidates to complete tasks flexibly and remotely. This hassle-free process leaves exactly the right impression on the candidates themselves, in addition to helping companies to determine each candidate’s suitability.

In contrast to most of their competitors, Geektastic’s evaluations aren’t automated. Expert humans review candidates’ code, in order to provide a fair and comprehensive assessment of code quality, maintainability and problem solving skills. In keeping with Geektastic’s exceptionally high standards, these expert assessors are drawn from places like Amazon and Google.

It’s this no-compromise approach that enables Geektastic to guarantee 24-hour turnaround on assessment, giving engineering teams the information they need to proceed. Their innovative approach is helping businesses to slash their time to hire and ensuring that they hire the right talent.

Moving the dial on global tech recruitment 

For global companies, this new synergy between Playroll and Geektastic is a promising one. It promises to enable seamless journeys from assessment to hiring.

Once candidates are evaluated for optimal fit through Geektastic, they can be swiftly and compliantly hired, onboarded and added to payroll using Playroll’s best-in-class platform.
