AI fluency · Hiring and development

Everyone says they can use AI. See who makes good decisions with it.

Resumes, self-reported skills and course certificates don't show how someone works with AI. Coodesh measures it with evidence: in hiring, each candidate's judgment in real situations from the role; on your team, the level of each person and each department, to guide development and projects.

Coodesh organizes the evidence. The decision is always your team's.

The problem

Saying you can use AI got easy. Proving it didn't.

AI reached the workplace faster than the ways of measuring who can use it. Every resume lists tools, every team says it already uses them, and HR still can't tell who makes good decisions with AI and who just copies and pastes the answer.

Knowing a tool's name doesn't set anyone apart. Judgment does: when to use it, how to prompt, how to verify and what never to paste into a chat.

Two moments, one standard

Hire people who already work well with AI. Develop those who aren't there yet.

The criteria are the same in both cases. What changes is what you do with the result.

For hiring teams

Assess candidates

Measure each candidate's judgment with AI before the hiring manager interview. Results you can compare across candidates, with identity and integrity verified.

See how it works in hiring
For people development teams

Assess employees

Find out the AI fluency level of each person, team and department, and use the diagnosis for development paths, project staffing and workforce planning.

Hiring

An AI test for candidates that measures judgment, not vocabulary.

Candidates solve everyday situations from the role with AI available, as they would at work. The assessment looks at the decisions they make, not the tools they can name.

What gets measured
  1. 01

    Delegate

    When a task is worth handing to AI, when to do it alone and how to split the work into parts AI handles well.

  2. 02

    Prompt

    How they describe the goal, give context, set the output format and adjust the prompt when the result is weak.

  3. 03

    Verify

    Whether they check facts, numbers and code, catch the mistake AI delivered with confidence and know when not to trust it.

  4. 04

    Protect

    How they handle customer data, personal data and confidential information, and when the rule is not to use AI.

What the recruiter gets
  • A score per criterion and an overview you can compare across candidates, using the same standard.
  • Answers, transcript and prompt history to review their reasoning.
  • A summary of strengths and areas of concern, generated by AI from the criteria your company wrote.
  • Integrity signals and verified identity in the same report.

You decide, assessment by assessment, whether AI is allowed. When it is, the score rewards using it well. When it isn't, use outside the rule shows up as suspicious activity.

Workforce

Is your team ready for AI projects? See it department by department.

The diagnosis shows each person's AI fluency level and each department's maturity. With it, you decide where to invest in training, who to bring into an AI project and what you need to hire externally.

Fluency levels

    Exploring

    Uses it for one-off tasks, with generic prompts, and rarely checks what comes back.

  3. 3
    Functional

    Uses it often for tasks in the role, gives context, reviews the result and knows what can't be shared.

  4. 4
    Advanced

    Redesigns their own workflow with AI, combines tools and knows when AI isn't the answer.

  5. 5
    Leader

    Sets up AI for the team, creates safe-use standards and helps others improve.

Usage archetypes

Cautious

Avoids AI or uses it only when asked. Usually careful with data, but leaves productivity on the table.

Enthusiast

Uses it for everything and trusts it too quickly. Gains speed but risks passing errors along.

Doer

Uses it well on familiar tasks, with good prompts and review. Hasn't changed how they work yet.

Builder

Redesigns processes, sets up AI for others and creates usage rules for the team.

What you do with the result

A diagnosis to develop people, not to cut them.

Each employee knows they're being assessed, why and what happens with the result, and receives their own report. We recommend sharing the goal before the cycle and using the diagnosis to plan development and projects, not as a sole criterion for dismissal.

Roles

Who do you need to assess?

Integrity and security

The person taking the assessment is the person you'll hire.

In an assessment about AI, integrity matters even more. You define what's allowed, and the platform records what happened.

Anti-fraud and Proctoring

Tab switching, pasted text, AI use outside the rule, second screen, browsing recording and webcam photos, with a severity indicator to prioritize review.

ID Verification

ID document and photo identification confirm the person is who they say they are.

Learn more

Accessibility

An accessibility menu on every screen, with screen reader, dyslexia-friendly font and Libras (Brazilian Sign Language). The integrity system is calibrated not to penalize people who use assistive technology.

Learn more

AI organizes the evidence. A person decides.

AI scores and summarizes. The final score and the decision about each person belong to your team, with recorded criteria, in line with rules on automated decisions such as GDPR Article 22. No integrity signal fails anyone on its own, and people being assessed know from the start which features are active.

In English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Set up the assessment in each person's language and compare teams from different countries using the same standard. If the role calls for another language, add the Language Test to the same assessment, with a level on the CEFR scale.

Language Test
How it works

From goal to decision in four steps.

  1. 1

    Set the goal

    Hiring or team diagnosis, which roles and what level you expect from each.

  2. 2

    Build the assessment

    Situations from the role, formats and the AI usage rule, from the Coodesh library or your own questions.

  3. 3

    Run it with integrity

    Invite by link, email or through your ATS, with proctoring and ID verification according to the risk.

    ATS Integration
  4. 4

    Decide and develop

    A report per person and a view by department. Your team decides who moves forward and what each person will develop.

Frequently asked questions

It's an assessment that measures how a person works with AI in real situations from the role: when they delegate a task to AI, how they prompt, how they check the result and how they handle sensitive data. It isn't a test about tool names. At Coodesh, it's used for hiring and for diagnosing your team's level.

AI literacy usually means understanding what AI is, how it works and what the risks are. AI fluency is putting that to work: making good decisions with AI in the day-to-day of the job. The Coodesh assessment measures the second, with practical situations from the role.

The candidate receives the invite, solves situations from the role with AI available, when the rule allows it, and can answer by text, video, code, whiteboard or in an AI Interview. The recruiter gets the score per criterion, the answers and a summary of strengths and areas of concern, along with the integrity signals.

No. AI scores and organizes the evidence using the criteria your company wrote. The final score and the decision about each person belong to your team, with the criteria recorded, in line with rules on automated decisions such as GDPR Article 22.

For development and planning: setting paths by gap, choosing who joins AI projects and planning hiring, redeployment and training. We recommend telling the team before the cycle, explaining the goal and giving each person their own report. The diagnosis shouldn't be used as a sole criterion for dismissal.

You decide, for each assessment, whether AI is allowed. When it is, AI is part of what's being measured. When it isn't, Anti-fraud and Proctoring records tab switching, pasted text, AI use outside the rule and, if enabled, the webcam. Liveness checks and face matching confirm the person answering is the right person.

For technology and business functions: product, engineering, data, sales, marketing, finance, HR and operations. The assessment uses situations from the role, and you can combine questions from the Coodesh library with your own.

English, Spanish and Portuguese. If the role requires another language, you can add the Language Test to the same assessment, with a level on the CEFR scale.

Yes. Candidate results flow back to your ATS through an API integration, and the employee diagnosis connects to your LMS to recommend courses by gap and reassess later.
