If you're reading this, chances are you're already feeling the shift AI is bringing to the world of work. Finding talent who can "actually" use AI and not be replaced by it is now more important than ever, and exponentially harder.
Why is that? We believe there are three driving factors:
The days when it took a full team to build a proof of concept are fading. AI tools can turn ideas into reality fast, but reality is still hard and messy. Making things reliable takes real skill, so great skills are even more valuable now.
Top-tier companies are boosting revenue by doubling down on AI-driven productivity. The biggest bottleneck is now talent. Finding people who can work effectively with AI has become mission critical to meet hiring goals.
The AI revolution is accelerating everything. Skills need to evolve at the speed of AI tools. Discovery is easier than ever, but identifying the right solution still requires a strong and specific skill set.
As a result, the opportunity cost is high. Templated questions and standard interviews are not going to cut it anymore. People leaders now have a stronger seat at the table for some of the most strategic decisions companies make about headcount and organization planning. The stakes are even higher for early stage companies, where investors look closely for early signals from the team. While today feels challenging for many talent teams, we strongly believe the trends of the last few years are here to stay. We are also seeing many teams use this moment to prepare for the next wave of hiring.
From a candidate's perspective, the pace is relentless. There are more AI tools than ever, and the list grows every day. This makes constant learning the only way to stay current. At the same time, many candidates feel anxious when the hiring process feels templated. Resumes are screened quickly, questions are generic, and assessments do not set them up for success. That pressure creates an unhealthy ecosystem where unethical tools exist to circumvent hiring pipelines and improve chances unfairly.
We do not believe proctoring is the answer. We believe transparency is. High caliber candidates also want to see the human side of a company. They care about culture, workplace environment, and team dynamics. A fully automated process does not inspire confidence.
For hiring teams, the struggle is just as real. Systems that measure skills must keep pace with the tools people use to do the work. In the age of AI, the only constant is change. Hiring teams need solutions that evolve at the speed of AI so they can spot the right talent with confidence. This also requires tools built to anticipate what is next and adapt as it arrives.
We believe in a future where AI empowers talent without compromising integrity. Our core principles are:
We interviewed Talent Leaders, Recruiting Operations Leaders, Recruiters, Agency Owners, and Hiring Managers at top-tier companies, and we came away convinced that a major shift in talent acquisition is underway. There is growing demand for a product that helps forward thinking and ambitious teams strike the right balance with AI. So we set out to build a platform that helps candidates showcase real skills, while giving hiring teams the co pilot they do not have but increasingly need.
Beyond building the most customizable, unbiased, and pluggable assessment platform, we are making analytics, sourcing, transparency, and candidate upskilling core parts of the product. We are building all of this in close partnership with recruiting teams and leaders, with a focus on improving workflows and delivering a better candidate experience end to end.
"We are on a mission to empower every team to spot true problem solvers and help every candidate succeed, one thoughtful assessment at a time."
