Features
From AI-graded coding challenges to org-wide skill heatmaps - every feature is designed to make hiring and talent development smarter and faster.
AI Auto-Grading
Written answers are scored by AI against the reference answer you provide, with its reasoning shown beside every score - so you can judge the grading rather than take it on trust. Multiple choice is marked automatically the moment a candidate submits.
Graded against your reference answer
Each written answer is scored against the answer you supply, so grading follows your standard rather than a generic one.
Written response scoring
AI grades essay and written answers, and returns a short written explanation of why it awarded the score it did.
Human override
Reviewers can adjust any AI score. AI is a starting point, not the final word.
Instant results
No waiting for a reviewer to grade. Results are ready the moment a candidate submits.
