Andela Acquires Top Technical Skills Assessment Platform with Credentials
In order to find, qualify, and certify top engineers, Andela, a global network for remote technical talent, has acquired Qualified, the premier technical skills assessment platform.
With the acquisition of more than 3.6M engineering users from Codewars, a Qualified-powered online community that allows technical talent to compete and hone their practical coding abilities in gamified challenges, Andela’s worldwide talent network will also grow.
Jeremy Johnson, the founder and CEO of Andela, said, “With the Qualified acquisition, Andela expands and accelerates our capacity to source and expertly analyze talent.
“Inefficiencies in supply, demand, and quality hinder labor markets. Qualified enables us to address these inefficiencies by delivering the certified correct people at the appropriate moment.
No matter where they live or work, companies will continue to have faith that the talent they find through Andela has the necessary skills.
The co-founder and CEO of Qualified, Jake Hoffner, continued, “Hiring procedures that have previously been used in the computer business have been shown to be unproductive.
With the enhanced platform, employers will be able to design hiring procedures for software engineers that are accurate predictors of their performance in the workplace. We also give businesses and the expanding tech community a greater, broader, and better chance to engage internationally.
