The assessment method
Each candidate completes a written business case: the problem, where AI adds value, the workflow change and how adoption is led.
An independent expert reviews the case and joins the interview, with no commercial ties to the client , keeping scoring separate from placement.
AI Expert Assessors
Every shortlisted candidate is reviewed by hands-on AI experts in the relevant domain , the people who actually do this work.
