Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
Traditional Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews only tell part of the story. They can show if a candidate can code, but not how they’ll solve problems in the real world, especially in an AI-powered workplace. That’s why we built AI Assistant by Glider AI.
AI Assistant is Glider AI’s embedded support agent inside Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews. It guides candidates in real time, offers proactive nudges or debugging help, and captures every interaction to reveal how candidates think, adapt, and collaborate with AI.
Unlike generic chatbots, AI Assistant is built for hiring—structured, transparent, and tailored to technical evaluations.
AI Agents for Hiring are intelligent systems that actively participate in the hiring process, not just automating tasks, but engaging with candidates or recruiters in real time. They can assist candidates during assessments, validate identity to prevent fraud, or provide recruiters with richer insights.
AI Assistant is one of these agents—focused on helping companies uncover talent that’s not just technically skilled, but AI-ready for the future of work.
Hiring is evolving fast:
By 2026, 75% of software engineers will use AI copilots daily. Hiring without testing AI fluency is like hiring drivers without ever seeing them behind the wheel. AI Assistant is built to close that gap.
| Traditional Technical Assessments | With AI Assistant by Glider AI |
| Focus on code output only | Reveal how candidates think, debug, and solve with AI |
| Static pass/fail experience | Dynamic, interactive, real-time support |
| One-dimensional view of skill | Multi-dimensional: technical chops + AI fluency + adaptability |
| Often stressful, test-like | Realistic, engaging, closer to on-the-job work |
| Recruiter sees the “what” | Recruiter sees the “how” and “why” |
AI Assistant is built into both Technical Skill Assessments and Live Coding Interviews, creating a highly realistic candidate experience while giving recruiters deeper insights.
It engages candidates in two ways:
Together, these reveal how candidates truly work with AI—not just if they can write code.
With AI Assistant, you get:
Hiring isn’t just about evaluation—it’s also about experience. Candidates often describe traditional assessments as stressful and disconnected from real work.
With AI Assistant, assessments feel authentic:
This balance of rigor and realism makes AI Assistant better for candidates—and better for recruiters.
Glider AI leaders see AI Assistant as more than a feature—it’s a shift in how enterprises approach technical hiring. By combining technical skill validation with AI fluency, hiring teams gain a window into real-world performance.
“AI Assistant is a breakthrough for our customers. “For the first time, they can assess not just technical skill—but how well a candidate leverages AI to solve real problems. It’s the closest thing to seeing how someone will actually perform on the job.”
– Ben Walker | COO, Glider AI
“We built AI Assistant because the future of hiring isn’t about testing code in isolation—it’s about testing readiness for AI-powered work. The companies that embrace this shift will build stronger teams, move faster, and lead their industries.”
– Satish Kumar | CEO & Co-Founder, Glider AI
This isn’t about making tests easier—it’s about making them more real. The best engineers and developers will be those who can work with AI, not depend on it.
If you’re still relying on code-only assessments, you’re missing the #1 predictor of job readiness: how candidates collaborate with AI.
With AI Assistant, you can see that readiness today.
An AI Assistant in technical hiring is an AI-powered companion integrated into assessments and live coding interviews that supports candidates with real-time guidance while helping recruiters evaluate problem-solving, reasoning, and AI collaboration skills.
The AI Assistant provides contextual hints, debugging guidance, and interactive support during assessments. At the same time, it captures candidate interactions to give recruiters deeper visibility into how candidates think, adapt, and solve problems under real-world conditions.
Recruiters can understand how candidates approach challenges, respond to feedback, collaborate with AI tools, and refine their solutions. This helps evaluate practical thinking beyond final answers or code submissions.
Yes. By providing consistent guidance and standardized evaluation signals across all candidates, the AI Assistant helps create a more structured and objective assessment experience while reducing dependency on subjective interview judgment.
No. The AI Assistant is designed to be intuitive and supportive for all candidates. It helps users navigate tasks naturally, regardless of their prior experience with AI tools or prompt engineering.
Skills assessments are is often treated as a single step in the hiring process. In reality, they run through the entire hiring workflow. They appear in different forms depending on the hiring stage, the role being evaluated, and the level of hiring risk a team is willing to take. If you look at the broader […]
Why Skills Assessment Has Become a Hiring Priority Hiring teams are not struggling because they lack candidates. They are struggling because traditional hiring signals no longer predict performance reliably enough. A polished resume does not guarantee execution. Strong interview performance does not always translate into strong on-the-job performance. And as hiring volumes grow, these gaps […]
Most people think skills assessment is just a way to test candidates. That is the basic idea. But in actual hiring, it means something more practical. A skills assessment is not just about checking whether someone can solve a problem in isolation. It is about reducing uncertainty before making a decision that is costly to […]
