I worked in a job a couple of years ago with a small team that was hiring quite fast so it was typical to have to evaluate 10 applicants a week. Since as leads and seniors we were very busy Hackerrank was a useful way to evaluate lots of people without much effort and easily compare them by “score”. That said I regret it because the results were not as good. Every candidate is different enough that each interview turns out completely different. I think a better policy is if you’re too busy to give people the attention they need as they go through the pipeline - just wait until you’re not busy if possible.
