The HR Hack is an online hackathon where developers and those who are interested in the HR profession can work together to help different areas of HR with technological innovations. Our aim is to support the HR profession with innovative solutions, which, like all field of expertise, is facing enormous challenges due to the new market situation caused by COVID-19 and this requires new solutions.

Join us, spread the word about the HR Hack and don’t forget to use the #hronlinehack hashtag.

Our primary communication platform with the participants will be Slack, join us now!

The hackathon will focus on 3 main challenges:

As a result of the new market situation, many people have become unemployed, they are about to change professions, and are looking for their place in the market. At the same time companies are constantly working to find the unique talent. We are looking for solutions that can help improve the recruitment process as well as creating perfect matches. Do you have any idea?

Creating a friendly environment and a good atmosphere in the workplace are essential for efficient work. In the home office, working far apart makes this extremely difficult. Resolving the situation requires creative, digital solutions that support uniting employees into a community. How would you solve this problem?

Remote working can reduce performance and the organization of useful trainings can only be solved digitally. How would you support maintain a high level of performance in the work from home setup? Do you have any ideas for holding digital trainings or coaching sessions?

What is a hackathon?

I love creating and optimising systems, furthermore learning and exploring new contexts. I’ve also done this as a developer (e.g. in case of the 30th busiest website in the world or the largest live stream service) and have been doing so for some time now as a leader. It is important for me to be constantly evolving and to be able to create an environment where everyone has room to grow and fulfil their potential. I like it when the collaboration reaches a level where the whole is more than the parts together, and when it’s supported by a culture where it only matters who adds what to this whole thing, not who that person is. I used to be the Head of Engineering at Ustream, now I’m VP of Engineering at Bitrise, and I’m working to make both our engineering team and the entire company a true learning organisation.
