Akhil Gupta, CEO of Shine.com, said, “The Hackathon & Assessment series is created with a vision of bringing top-tier tech talents who are willing to showcase their maximum potential against challenges set by industry experts. Unlike standard job portals, Shine.com focuses on more than just providing a platform for candidates to land jobs. We intend to help their careers grow. In this context, Hackathon has proved exemplary. It provides young tech talent with adequate space to showcase their skills and employers to recruit the best possible candidates from a herd of applicants. This lets us stay connected and motivate youngsters through their journey.

Hackathon is conducted online and is designed based on the job description (required by the company) where matching candidates are invited to register for Hackathons and appear in the activity on the mentioned dates.

A dedicated leader board is present on Shine.com that gathers comprehensive insights on a candidate that helps the leader board to announce the winner/winners, where the companies directly connect with the winners and make job offers.
