Frequently asked questions

Ceven follows a strict principle of least privilege when accessing candidate data. We only pull the specific fields required by your active workflows, such as scores or submission status. All data transmitted between HackerRank Work and Ceven is encrypted using industry standard TLS. We do not store candidate code or personal identifiers in our long term memory unless you specifically map those fields to a downstream system like an ATS. You can audit every data request in the Ceven logs to see exactly which candidate records were accessed and why. Access is governed by the permissions of the API user who authorized the connection, ensuring the agent cannot see tests or candidates that the human user is restricted from viewing.
Yes. Ceven can listen for event notifications that fire when a candidate first opens their assessment link. This is useful for notifying recruiters that a candidate has engaged with the process or for starting a timer in your CRM. When the start event hits the workflow layer, the agent can perform any number of secondary actions, such as updating a status to in progress or sending a reminder to the interviewer to be ready for the follow up. This ensures that your team has real time visibility into the candidate journey without needing to refresh the HackerRank Work dashboard manually throughout the day.
Ceven tracks submissions by a combination of candidate ID and test ID. Depending on how you configure your workflow, the agent can be set to trigger only on the first submission or to update the record every time a new score is posted. For most hiring pipelines, we recommend the latest submission logic, where the agent overwrites the previous score in your ATS with the most recent attempt. This prevents duplicate candidate profiles and ensures that the hiring manager is always looking at the most current reflection of the candidates skills. You can also build a workflow that flags candidates who have attempted the same test multiple times for review.
Yes. Ceven is subject to the API rate limits imposed by HackerRank Work. Depending on your specific subscription tier with them, there are caps on how many requests can be made per minute. If a workflow attempts to send a massive batch of invites at once, HackerRank Work may return a 429 too many requests error. To handle this, Ceven implements an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will automatically pause and retry the request after a short delay. For extremely large hiring events, we recommend staggering your invite triggers over several hours to avoid hitting these limits and ensuring a smooth experience for your candidates.
Ceven cannot author the actual coding problems or write the test cases inside the HackerRank Work IDE. The creation of the problem set, the definition of the hidden test cases, and the scoring logic must be done by a human subject matter expert within the HackerRank Work platform. Once the assessment template is created and published, Ceven can then manage the distribution of that template, track who has taken it, and process the results. This ensures that the technical integrity of your assessments remains under the control of your engineering leads while the agent handles the operational overhead of administration.
It works with both. For asynchronous assessments, the agent focuses on score triggers and status updates. For live interviews, the agent can be used to create the session, pull the interview report after the call ends, and sync the interviewer notes into your system of record. This means you can build a unified workflow where a candidate moves from an async screen to a live interview and finally to an offer, with Ceven handling the data movement and notification steps at every transition. The agent can even summarize the qualitative notes from a live session to highlight key strengths or red flags for the hiring committee.
Disconnecting is a simple process handled through the Integrations menu in your Ceven settings. Once you select disconnect, Ceven immediately deletes the stored OAuth tokens and ceases all API calls to HackerRank Work. Any active webhooks that were created during the connection process are sent a deletion request to the HackerRank Work API to ensure no more data is pushed to our platform. This action is immediate and permanent. If you wish to resume your workflows, you will need to go through the authorization flow again, which will generate a new set of tokens and re establish the connection to your technical assessments.
No. The grading is performed entirely by the HackerRank Work engine using the test cases and parameters you have defined in the platform. Ceven reads the resulting score and the pass fail status of the test cases provided by the API. The agent does not execute the code or apply its own logic to determine if a solution is correct. This prevents any discrepancies between the score the candidate sees and the score that is synced to your ATS. The agent acts as the transport and orchestration layer, moving the grade from the evaluation platform into your broader recruitment workflow.
