Disrupt Battlefield [alum](http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/11/hackerrank-social-platform-for-coders/) [HackerRank](https://www.hackerrank.com/) today announced that it has received a $7.5 million strategic investment from [Recruit Holdings](http://www.recruit-rgf.com/)‘ HR Technology Fund for its hiring platform today.  
 Recruit Holdings isn’t exactly a household name in the investment world, but the company is a major player in the information services and human resources ecosystem in Japan and currently has over 28,000 employees in Asia and North America. [Indeed.com](http://www.indeed.com/), one of the world’s largest job sites, is one of the company’s holdings in its [broad portfolio](http://www.recruit-rgf.com/service/) of services.  
 This new investment brings HackerRank’s [total funding](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/hackerrank) to $19.9 million.
