AI changed how work gets done.
Hiring hasn't caught up.

Resumes and take-homes are finished products; they don't show the thought process, or who did what: human or AI.

Proficient in AI tools
...but what does that mean?
Resume scans

Every resume reads the same now

A resume can be AI-written, and a line like “proficient in AI tools” tells you nothing about how someone actually works. Keyword screens filter for the words, not the capability.

Behavioral questions

Rehearsed answers, not real evidence

Asking how someone uses AI gets you polished talking points. In a short interview it's hard to see how they actually gather information, make decisions, and judge what AI gives back.

High signal, high cost

Watching someone work live tells you a lot, but it drains your team's time and is impossible to run at scale. Results swing on each candidate's own tools, and it can expose their personal data.

The Gradient Difference

Candidates tackle real work with AI, like writing a product memo or triaging an inbox. Gradient shows you the output and how they got there.

01

Create custom assessments by role

Start from a template or build your own, based on the work they'd actually do on the job. You set the task, the time limit, and the deliverable.

Candidates work with AI

Candidates complete the task in a standardized, configurable AI workspace, the same kind of tools they'd use on the job.

Candidates get to show how they work

Your hiring process is a signal

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 calendars to coordinate.

Private and fair

Every candidate gets the same AI tools, so no one is advantaged by a paid subscription. They can edit AI memory and add skills without exposing personal data.

Real work, not trivia

Build a strategy deck, analyze a market, prioritize an inbox, the way they would on the job. Strong candidates would rather show real skill than answer questions about tools.
