I’ve gotten a few HackerRank interview requests, and when I took them I used my HackerRank account, which uses a different email address than what I apply to jobs with, and also my name was just my initials. Does this make a difference to the companies? I did 2 HackerRank interviews and didn’t hear back from either company afterwards, starting to wonder if those differences caused a flag for them or something
Yeah that's pretty dumb. Your email is basically your unique identifier during the application process. Usually they explicitly tell you to use the email you applied with.
So where they had a field for email address, I put in the email I applied with, but the actual HackerRank account I logged into was a different address. The HackerRank confirmation came to the email I applied with
Ah, in that case you should be good.
