Cognitive and Behavioral Assessment:
The Strongest Predictor
Technical skills open doors. Cognitive and behavioral traits determine whether people stay and grow. Bryq's assessment measures problem-solving speed, learning agility, attention to detail, resilience, and communication style. These aren't generic trait labels. They're validated against your company's actual performance data by I/O psychologists.
This is not a personality quiz. It's a predictive instrument validated against real-world job outcomes. The traits Bryq measures predict performance in your specific roles because we validate them against your actual results.
Hard Skills:
Extracted From Resumes, Weighted by Your Data
Bryq's AI pulls hard skills from every resume: programming languages, certifications, industry tools. But here's the difference: Bryq weights each skill based on what actually drives performance in your role, using your Ideal Candidate Profile. A Python certification might be critical for one engineering role and irrelevant for another. Bryq knows which because the weighting comes from your data, not from assumptions.
NEW: AI Proficiency Assessment
75% of knowledge workers already use AI on the job. But most organisations can't tell who uses it as a force multiplier and who uses it badly.
Bryq's AI Proficiency Assessment evaluates how candidates integrate AI into real workflow decisions. Tool-agnostic. Scenario-based. Built on six peer-reviewed research frameworks (UNESCO, SFIA, OECD, and others).
Five scored dimensions: AI task strategy, prompting and interaction, critical evaluation, ethical and responsible use, and workflow integration. Each scored 0-100. No pass/fail. Proficiency levels matched to role requirements: Foundational, Functional, or Advanced. It's included in your Bryq plan. Add it to any role in two clicks.
One Score:
Predicted Role Fit
Most platforms separate skills from personality from AI capability. Bryq combines everything into a single predicted-fit score specific to your organisation and role. Hiring managers see a ranked shortlist of candidates most likely to succeed, based on your Ideal Candidate Profile. Not keywords. Not credential filters. Predicted performance.
Why Skills-Based Hiring Is Replacing Resume Screening
Years of experience and degrees are weak predictors of actual job performance. Cognitive ability and behavioral traits are 7x more predictive than unstructured interviews. That's not opinion; it's decades of I/O psychology research.
Companies that match for fit instead of filtering resumes see measurable results:

Bryq makes this possible by building your Ideal Candidate Profile and automating the matching. Your team interviews only candidates who are already data-backed fits.

Bryq vs. Other Approaches
Bryq vs. Resume Screening
Resumes predict job success about as well as a coin flip. Bryq's AI matching is 7x more predictive than unstructured interviews because it measures what actually correlates with performance, not what candidates claim on paper.
Bryq vs. Skills Testing Platforms (TestGorilla, iMocha)
Skills-only platforms tell you what someone knows today. Bryq measures the full picture: cognitive ability, behavioral fit, hard skills, and AI proficiency in one integrated profile. We help you understand whether they'll succeed in the role, not just whether they can pass a test. TestGorilla offers seven separate AI assessments built on a proprietary in-house framework. Bryq delivers one integrated profile built on six peer-reviewed frameworks.
Bryq vs. Video Interview Platforms (HireVue)
Video interviews put candidates on camera unnecessarily and introduce more bias. HireVue focuses on how someone performs on camera. It can't tell you whether they can evaluate AI output or know when not to use AI at all. Bryq measures what actually predicts success: cognitive ability, behavioral traits, hard skills, and AI proficiency, without video.
Bryq vs. Criteria Corp
Criteria Corp offers strong psychometrics, but no AI proficiency measurement. Their platform predates the AI-at-work era. In 2026, you need both: cognitive and behavioral assessment plus AI proficiency.
Bryq vs. CodeSignal
CodeSignal is built for developers and technical hiring. Not designed for the other 95% of your workforce. Can your marketing manager, your analyst, your ops lead work with AI effectively? CodeSignal wasn't built for that question. Bryq was.
FAQ
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Bryq
What is skills-based hiring?
Skills-based hiring means evaluating what candidates can actually do and how they behave, not filtering for degrees or job titles. At Bryq, we automate this by building an Ideal Candidate Profile that combines cognitive assessment, behavioral traits, hard skills, and AI proficiency to predict fit for each specific role.
How is Bryq different from skills testing platforms like TestGorilla?
Skills tests tell you what someone knows today. Bryq predicts whether they'll succeed tomorrow. We validate against your company's actual performance data to build your Ideal Candidate Profile. Plus, Bryq includes AI proficiency assessment built on peer-reviewed research, not proprietary question banks.
What does the AI Proficiency Assessment measure?
It measures how candidates actually work with AI in realistic scenarios, across five dimensions: task strategy, prompting, critical evaluation, ethical use, and workflow integration. It's tool-agnostic, role-universal, and built on six peer-reviewed research frameworks including UNESCO, SFIA, and OECD. Bryq's AI skills assessment for hiring evaluates practical proficiency, not knowledge recall.
How does Bryq reduce hiring bias?
Bryq's assessments show no adverse impact across demographic groups. Every candidate is scored against the same Ideal Candidate Profile, eliminating the subjective bias in resume screening and unstructured interviews. I/O psychologists validate the platform against EEOC and OFCCP compliance standards.
