Hiring hackathon Screen hundreds of engineers in a single event. The leaderboard is your shortlist — ranked by what they built, not what they claimed.
Hackathons & ideathons
The hackathon that hires for you.
Run a timed coding hackathon or an innovation ideathon end to end — auto-evaluated, proctored, with a live leaderboard. The winners aren't the ones who interview well. They're the ones who shipped.
Solo or team Auto-evaluated Proctored Live leaderboard
Definition
A hackathon is a timed, competitive event where people build or solve real problems against the clock — so the results show you who can actually deliver, not just who interviews well. Paraakh runs it on its coding engine: challenges with hidden test cases, live proctoring, a real-time leaderboard, and verifiable certificates — for hiring, campus engagement, or internal innovation.
One engine, three events
Hire with it. Engage with it. Innovate with it.
02
Campus hackathon Run a nationwide campus drive that doubles as employer branding — engage thousands of students, and hire the ones who ship.
03
Internal ideathon Surface talent and ideas already inside your org. Set an innovation brief, let teams submit, and rank on impact — not seniority.
How it works
Launch in a day. Grade none of it yourself.
01 Set the challenge
Pick problems from the library or generate them with AI — with hidden test cases and a scoring rubric.
02 Invite at scale
One link, no signups. Thousands of solo or team participants, across the country, from their own machines.
03 Auto-evaluate live
Every submission runs against hidden tests the moment it lands. The leaderboard updates itself — no manual grading.
04 Shortlist & certify
Winners rise to the top with evidence attached. Issue verifiable certificates to everyone who competed.
