AI Fluency is hiring's
most in-demand skill.
Traditional hiring methods don't separate signal from noise.
The best candidates get buried
Resume screens filter for keywords, not capability. The best AI users often have non-traditional backgrounds; don't screen out the candidates with the best skills (and, the best skills.md files!).
Rehearsed answers, not real depth
“How do you use AI?” gets you polished talking points. With limited time, it's hard to get past the surface and understand someone's actual AI workflow.
High signal, but at what cost?
Watching someone work live is high signal!But it drains your team's time and is impossible to schedule at scale. Results swing wildly based on candidates' own tools, and they risk exposing personal memories and data.
The Gradient Difference
Hire candidates based on how they collaborate with AI on real work tasks.
Design the challenge
Or pick a templateBuild a strategy deck. A competitive analysis. A marketing campaign.Choose from templates or create your own; set the time limit from 30 minutes to a few hours. Output deliverables range from docs and presentations to working prototypes.
Candidates build
In a real AI workspaceThis is not a toy chatbot. Gradient's AI workspace includes chat and document creation, but also lets candidate configure memory, upload and create skills, and use Connectors. Candidates work the way they would on day one at your company.
AI-supported evaluation
That you configureGradient's default rubric balances deliverable quality with AI collaboration, helping you find candidates who use AI to augment their work, without taking AI outputs at face value. You can customize the rubric to fit your company's goals.
Review & decide
Full session replayWatch the entire session. See every prompt, every edit, every decision. Compare candidates, see percentiles, and hire with confidence.
Candidates love this too
AI power users are excited to show off their skills!
AI-forward interviews attract
top talent.
The best candidates want to know they'll get to grow their skills and use AI, thoughtfully, on the job. A Gradient assessment signals exactly that, before they even start.
On your own time
Assessments are timeboxed but flexible. Candidates complete them on their own schedule, with no scrambling to coordinate across calendars.
Private and fair
Every candidate gets the same AI tools, so there's no advantage for whoever has the most expensive subscription. Candidates can edit AI memory and add skills, without risking personal data.
Real work, not trivia
Build a strategy deck, analyze a market, draft a plan, the way you'd actually do it on day one. AI power users love the chance to flex.
