Basically, everyone can join who feels they want to build useful tools, apps and resources for HR- and work-related tech.

The HR Hackathon Online is global.

As you long as you have a PC, a good wifi connection and are committed to work on your project during the weekend from April 17th-19th, we will be very happy to see ou here.

Nonetheless, the HR Hackathon online is ideal for you if you

• are a developer
• are working in HR
• are a Sourcer or a recruiter
• are an agile Coach or Scrum Master
• are a product manager
• and your work life are challenged by the current Covid-19 crisis

All submissions, even if you have already started working on your project idea and do not look for other team members, have to be indicated on the project idea list that will be open to be filled out from April 13th, 10 AM CEST until April 16th, 3 PM CEST. Only projects that have been communicated on this list, will enter the competition and will be judged.

Final project submissions will have to be posted here on DevPost during the submission period (from April 17th-19th, 11.30 PM CEST)

Build prototypes that help the HR (Tech) Community, employees, freelancers and job seekers during and after the Covid-19 crisis.

From web applications, mobile apps, online resources to hardware devices, feel free to experiment.

Let your creative energy flow.

Ideally, you describe your project idea by filling in the Google form which I will make publicly available from April 13th - April 16th, 3.00 PM CET.

(This form does not represent the final submission of your project. I set it up to make team building and Slack Channel structuring easier)

Build prototypes that help the HR (Tech) Community, employees, freelancers and job seekers during and after the Covid-19 crisis.

From web applications, mobile apps, online resources to hardware devices, feel free to experiment.

To showcase your prototype, you will need to upload a 2-minute video pitch. Include a demo or walkthrough of your product. Remember to address the relevant judging criteria. Do also upload it on YouTube or Vimeo and enter the link in your submission.

Submissions must include a name and description of the team members, what problem the entry product solves. Submissions should include at least a design and a prototype, or simulation where applicable, along with a proposal of next steps, path forward, and a description of the necessary resources and plan to implement the project.

We encourage submissions to include information on how the product incorporates feedback from envisaged end users. 


Any and all tech stacks are welcome, but we encourage teams to build on tech stacks that are easy to scale and commonly used. Any necessary supplementary files, such as installation files or instructions, should be included with the submission as a single file or a zip.

In your submission on DevPost, include the following as well as the overall project documentation:

• Project name, name and descriptions of team members

• the initial idea and why you wanted to build it
