Evaluating whether or not a candidate is the right fit for a company has been difficult to prove through the traditional interviewing process
Scouting new talent is inefficient due to an abundance of platforms and the overload of resumes without an easy way to filter through each candidate
Increasing distrust of resume is resulting from difficulty finding qualified candidates that live up to the qualifications listed on their resumes
Finding a job with little or no work experience can be very difficult, even for highly skilled compared to experienced candidates
Many jobs are never posted online and require extensive networking in order to even be considered for the position
No easy way to find small projects and tasks to build up their portfolios during the job search process
The number of hackers and developers is increasing rapidly, as well as the amount of open source projects. However, enterprises rely on traditional recruiting methods that fail to identify top talent in solving their technological challenges. This is in large part due to the lack of a location or platform that serves as a bridge between these disparate groups.
Enterprises across the globe need to adopt frontier technologies to improve efficiency, lower costs, and outperform their competitors. These technologies are used to solve issues regarding manufacturing, security, finance, agriculture, and real estate. Tech talent with top expertise is needed globally but are usually mismatched and hard to identify. Advanced technical talent is not conveyed well through a traditional resume. Enterprises have successfully been able to aggregate creative and tech-savvy talents by sponsoring in-person hackathons in one specific geographical location. Prizes are generally awarded to the best solutions created and enterprises have the opportunity to offer employment to top talent that they’ve witnessed first-hand.
It is time to take this model to the next level.
Not only does DoraHacks bring together a community of technology practitioners, engineers, entrepreneurs and enterprises, it also delivers key value to each party involved through online/offline hackathons and plays an important role in social, economic and technological development.

Additional future revenue stream could include further fees from enterprise partners posting online hacks or competitions and fees for developer/hacker talent recruiting by companies.

M&A’s have occurred with many of DoraHacks’ competitors by large tech companies that include Google and Microsoft. As you can notice in the competitor graphic in the competition section below, there appears to be a correlation between the number of users and the M&A or valuation amount.
Number of hackers and developers is increasing rapidly.
The current worldwide population of professional developers is projected to grow from 23.9 million today (2019) to 28.7 million in 2024.
Growth of open source projects & hacker projects is fast.
In 2018, two of the biggest acquisitions of open source software companies, Red Hat and GitHub, signaled the progression of open source to the mainstream.
Enterprises are adopting hacker culture and hosting hackathons.
There were 5,636 hackathons worldwide in 2018, representing a 26% growth from 2017.
The hacker movement has resulted from the open source movement that gives people the opportunity to learn and practice technologies, build products and turn entrepreneurial ideas into reality without a mandatory university degree. The movement started with hackathons. Hackers attend hackathons to learn technology and to find teammates to build products. Every year, thousands of hackathons are organized across the globe. A growing and large percentage of developers, college students and almost every open source contributor participate in hackathons.
DoraHacks’ growth is correlated with the increasing global IT market, global online recruitment market as well as the population of global developers and hackers. That indicates, moving forward, DoraHacks will have greater opportunities to enhance its user base and to attract more top-tier enterprises to sponsor or partner with DoraHacks in order to access its fast-growing talent pool. Such ecosystem has a substantial amount of potential to directly or indirectly contribute to the global online recruitment market and trend.
And have built a network of strategic investors that refer high-quality partners to the DoraHacks community and platform.
