What is Hack N Hire?
Hack & Hire helps startups hire top student talent through real-world hackathons. No resumes — just performance. Students solve actual startup problems, and founders hire based on real work. Smarter, faster, skill-based hiring.
Problem
Startups rely on traditional hiring methods like resumes and interviews to evaluate student talent, which fail to assess real-world problem-solving skills and lead to mismatched hires.
Solution
A hackathon-based hiring platform where startups host real-world challenges for students. Users can evaluate candidates based on performance in practical tasks (e.g., coding, product design) instead of resumes.
Customers
Startup founders, HR managers, and tech students (aged 18–25) seeking skill-based recruitment opportunities.
