What is Gradient?

Gradient is a hiring assessment platform that measures how effectively candidates use AI tools for knowledge work. Instead of testing whether someone can code or answer trivia, Gradient evaluates the skills that matter in an AI-augmented workplace: delegation, discernment, and the ability to produce high-quality work with AI assistance. Candidates enter a timed workspace, receive a realistic task brief, and use an AI assistant to produce a deliverable - a presentation, document, or spreadsheet. Gradient then scores them on what they built, how they used AI, and how they managed information.

​
How it works

1

Create an assessment

Define a task brief, set time limits, attach data sources, and configure a scoring rubric. Gradient comes with templates for common roles like Product Manager, Strategy Analyst, and Marketing Lead.
2

Invite candidates

Send invite links via email. Each candidate gets a unique, timed session with their own workspace.
3

Candidates complete the task

In the workspace, candidates configure AI tools, connect data sources, and produce a deliverable with AI assistance - all within a time limit.
4

Review scores and feedback

Gradient’s scoring engine evaluates the deliverable, AI usage patterns, and information synthesis. You get a detailed breakdown with percentile rankings and suggested follow-up questions.
