Why Traditional Tech Recruitment Is Broken

Expensive

₹50k-1L per hire via consultants
10 hires = ₹5-10L
30% attrition in 6 months = wasted cost

Slow

60-90 days per position
Multiple interview rounds
Candidate ghosting

Risky

Resume screening misses talent
Can't assess real coding ability
Culture fit uncertain until hired

What if you could interview 100+ pre-vetted developers in 48 hours for less than the cost of 2 traditional hires?

What Makes NinjaStrike Different

India's ONLY Hackathon Testing Both Fundamentals & AI Mastery

Traditional Hackathons	NinjaStrike 2025
Open registration (anyone attends)	8% acceptance rate (3-stage vetting)
Generic coding challenges	AI-powered dual-phase format
Meet 200-300 random students	Access 1,500 pre-screened candidates
Event ends, access ends	1-12 month platform access post-event
One city, one college focus	Pan-Telangana + national reach

The AI Advantage

Phase 1 (6hrs) = No AI tools (tests fundamentals). Phase 2 (18hrs) = All AI unleashed (tests modern productivity). You see BOTH skill sets.
