FluencyFox
FluencyFox is an AI-powered assessment platform that lets employers evaluate candidates' practical AI fluency through recorded, real-world work tasks. Candidates complete assignments using their preferred AI tools while the platform captures their screen, narration, and submitted work, which AI then scores against a client-defined rubric. The result is a human-reviewed, evidence-based view of how a candidate actually thinks and works with AI, not just what they claim on a CV.

Problem
Traditional hiring processes fail to differentiate between candidates who are genuinely skilled at using AI and those who are just starting out, as CVs and interviews only capture surface-level claims about AI proficiency. A conversation can only test how someone talks about working with AI, not how they actually perform with it, leaving employers with an incomplete picture of a candidate's true capabilities.
Solution
FluencyFox provides an AI-powered assessment platform that lets employers invite candidates to complete a recorded, practical work task using whatever AI tools they prefer. Candidates record their screen, audio, and submitted work while they solve a real problem, giving employers a direct view of their workflow and thought process. The platform uses AI to transcribe and score the recorded response against a client-defined evaluation framework, covering the submitted work, AI tool interaction, and spoken communication. Scores are generated across weighted dimensions and combined into a single overall score, which is advisory only and always reviewed by a human decision-maker. The platform deliberately avoids using candidate identity or demographic information in scoring, and tests its rubric annually for adverse impact across protected characteristics. Employers receive the recording, transcript, and score, enabling a more personable and evidence-based hiring decision.
Target Audience
Primary customers are employers, recruiters, and hiring teams who need to evaluate candidates' practical AI fluency and problem-solving abilities beyond what CVs and traditional interviews reveal.
