HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88

HackerRank has open-sourced its applicant-tracking system, the hiring-agent, with a tester reporting resume scores ranging from 66 to 99 out of 100 across multiple runs. The tester notes substantial non-determinism in scoring, particularly for projects, with open-source scores more consistent than project scores; different backends (Gemini vs gemma3:4b) yield different distributions. The tool parses PDFs, extracts data, and uses several LLM evaluations to assign a 0-100 score plus up to 20 bonus points across categories like open source, projects, and work experience; the author warns AI-based screening can misrank candidates.
