🕵️Tap Into Hackathon & Coding Challenge Leaderboards for High-Quality Talent

Many skilled candidates actively participate in online hackathons and coding challenges. Their profiles often show real problem-solving ability, teamwork, and creativity — far better than just reading a résumé.

Where to look:

✅ Devpost (hackathon participant lists & winners)

✅ HackerEarth Challenges (public leaderboards)

✅ Kaggle Competitions (data science talent)

✅ Topcoder (algorithm & design experts)

How to use it:🔍

➡️ Search participants by skill: AI, cloud, cybersecurity, embedded systems, data analytics

➡️ Check their submissions, GitHub links, and project outcomes

➡️ Reach out with personalised messages referencing their project (“Loved your work on the XYZ hackathon challenge…”)

Why this works:
✔️ Candidates here are highly motivated
✔️ Real project-based skills
✔️ Great for niche, hard-to-fill roles
