HackSprint gives your organization the tools to run hackathons, evaluate submissions, AI-interview top performers, and hire directly — all in one platform.
Four things no other
hiring platform does.
Other platforms list jobs or run contests. HackSprint turns a hackathon into a defensible hiring decision — automatically.
Describe the work.
Aider writes the code.
Aider is an AI coding agent built into HackSprint's Cloud IDE. Participants describe what they want to build in plain language — a feature, a fix, a refactor — and Aider implements it directly in the project: creating files, editing code, and running the changes. It turns a hackathon brief into working software through conversation. Because the building happens out loud, organizers also see exactly how each candidate scopes, prompts, and verifies the work Aider ships.
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 language and Aider implements it — creating files, editing code, and running it in the Cloud IDE.
See how they build with AI
Because Aider does the typing, the signal is how they think: prompt clarity, decomposition, iteration, verification, efficiency, and the final result.
How engineers actually ship now
Shipping real features by directing an AI coding agent is how engineering works today. Aider brings that exact workflow into the hackathon — and into your hiring signal.

What hiring teams actually say
CTOs, engineering managers, and program directors who hire on HackSprint.
We ran a private sprint for a senior React opening. 47 applicants, Aider AI scored every one of them on how they direct AI in 24 hours. We hired two engineers we would have missed with a normal phone screen.
The proctoring gave us something we never had before — defensible results. When we shortlisted candidates, we could show our legal team a full audit trail for every decision.
We run two sprints a year for bootcamp graduates. HackSprint handles invites, scoring, and certificates. Our cohort placement rate went from 61% to 84% in one year.
The AI candidate report is more actionable than a 45-minute technical phone screen. We now use it as the first gate for every engineering role we post.
Private hackathon branding is seamless — candidates see our logo, our domain, our look and feel. HackSprint is invisible infrastructure. Exactly what we needed.
We shortlisted 12 candidates from our sprint. Eight accepted offers. The signal quality from HackSprint is unmatched compared to any coding assessment platform we have tried.
