Can we run a business task without the AI Assistant?

No. Business tasks always run with the AI Assistant, because they assess how a candidate works with it. For engineering interviews, you can allow AI or turn it off for each interview. Technical interviews

Does an AI interviewer assess the candidate?

No. A human interviewer runs the session and rates against the rubric. Hiring decisions remain with people. Every prompt is saved for review.

Do interviewers need technical knowledge?

No. Business hiring teams run the interview with their functional leaders. Engineering involvement is welcome and never required.

Should we use Screen or Interview for business hiring?

Use Screen to assess every applicant before the interview, and Interview to explore how your shortlist reasons, live. You can use both in the same hiring process. Skills Intelligence assesses the business teams you already have. Screen for business roles · Skills Intelligence for business teams

Today’s business interview only shows how well people talk about work

01

Every candidate says they use AI every day, and a conversation cannot show you how

02

Each interviewer asks different questions, so candidates for the same role are hard to compare

03

Panel notes describe impressions, not the work the candidate did

Run the interview around a real task

Choose a task from the job

Pick a business task from the Codility library for sales, marketing, finance, operations or customer roles. Each task asks for a real deliverable, such as a customer reply to write or a report to check.

Watch them work with the AI Assistant

You see each prompt as the candidate sends it and can ask why they asked it and what they changed. Every prompt is saved.

Talk it through face to face

Video and a whiteboard are part of every session. Ask the candidate to explain their approach, test their assumptions and sketch how they would handle a harder version of the task.

Rate against one rubric

Interviewers rate each skill against a shared rubric and add a note to every rating. Integrity signals remain available for human review. The report keeps the deliverable, every prompt and the ratings together for the hiring team.

Screen every applicant, then interview the shortlist

Use Screen for business roles to assess every applicant on a task with the AI Assistant before the interview. Then use Interview to explore how your shortlist reasons, live.

Both run on the same business task library, AI Assistant, integrity signals and reports, with documented assessment methodology behind them.
