Why hard skills tests aren't enough anymore

Hiring engineers who can actually work with AI tools is rapidly becoming table stakes. A candidate can ace a coding challenge and still be useless with an AI assistant, churning out plausible code they can't critique. Another can write rough code in isolation but ship 3x faster with a copilot because they know how to prompt, validate, and iterate. The hard skills test alone misses both.

The AI Proficiency Assessment

Bryq's AI Proficiency Assessment scores candidates 0 to 100 across five dimensions: AI Task Strategy, Prompting and Interaction Quality, Critical Evaluation and Validation, Ethical and Responsible Use, and Workflow Integration and Output Quality. Three proficiency levels (Aware, Functional, Advanced) calibrate scoring to the role. Tool-agnostic. Built on six peer-reviewed research sources.

Behavioral fit for engineering teams

Strong technical hires don't always ship. Bryq's Behavioral component scores adaptability, problem-solving under ambiguity, and collaboration traits that predict whether a senior IC will actually move things forward on your team, not just pass the panel. The profile is built from your team's actual high performers.

It's a 15-minute Bryq assessment that scores candidates 0 to 100 across five dimensions: AI Task Strategy, Prompting and Interaction Quality, Critical Evaluation and Validation, Ethical and Responsible Use, and Workflow Integration and Output Quality. You pick one of three proficiency levels per role (Aware, Functional, Advanced), and the scoring calibrates. It's tool-agnostic, so it works whether your team uses ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, or an internal LLM. The methodology is built on six peer-reviewed research sources.
No. Bryq replaces or augments the screening stage and the behavioral interview, not the live coding session or system design round. Customers typically use Bryq to cut their interview funnel from five rounds to three, while improving signal on cognitive ability and fit.
Most assessment platforms either give you a personality test (useless for engineering) or a coding challenge (limited and easily gamed). Bryq combines cognitive ability, behavioral fit, and AI proficiency in one 15-minute assessment, scored against your team's actual role profile. The AI Proficiency Assessment is the only piece of its kind from an assessment vendor right now.
Yes. PM, designer, data analyst, DevRel, technical writer all have Bryq role profiles. The AI Proficiency component is especially relevant for PMs and designers who increasingly work with AI tools in their daily workflow.
