Automated HackerRank Flagged Attempt Review

Every morning, WebRun opens HackerRank, finds the tests whose candidate reports carry suspicious activity flags, notes which question and which signal was flagged, opens a Trello card per attempt for a human to review, and sends the hiring manager a short WhatsApp queue.

In short

How do I review flagged HackerRank test attempts before deciding?

WebRun opens HackerRank every morning, reads the candidate reports carrying suspicious activity flags, and notes the flagged question and signal for each. It opens one Trello review card per attempt and sends your hiring manager a WhatsApp queue, so a person decides rather than an automatic flag.

  • Every flagged attempt gets a human decision, never an automatic one
  • The hiring manager opens a short queue instead of scanning every report
  • Flagged question and signal are named, so review takes minutes

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reject a candidate on its own?

No. WebRun only opens a Trello card and sends an internal queue. Advancing, rejecting, and contacting the candidate all stay with your hiring team.

What goes on each review card?

The test name, the flagged question, the suspicious activity signal HackerRank raised, and a link back to the candidate report so the reviewer can watch the code playback.

Does it re-flag the same attempt every morning?

No. WebRun keeps the attempts it has already carded and skips them, so the queue only shows what arrived since the last run.

Put this on autopilot.
