TestGorilla has launched a new set of assessments focused on AI readiness and AI fluency, as employers place more weight on AI-related skills in recruitment.
The suite includes seven new assessments and adds AI-focused questions to existing video interview products. The updates cover both general AI readiness and role-specific evaluations.
TestGorilla positions the release as a response to broader shifts in hiring. Data shared by the company shows 70% of businesses are integrating AI into core teams, while 71% of leaders prioritise AI skills over years of experience in recruitment.
Wouter Durville, co-founder and CEO of TestGorilla, said hiring signals have shifted as AI tools spread through workplaces.
"AI has permanently altered the signal in hiring."
Framework approach
The new assessments are based on what TestGorilla calls its five-pillar AI Fluency Framework, developed by its in-house organisational scientists and psychologists. It describes AI fluency as a set of measurable dimensions rather than a single skill.
Under the framework, AI literacy covers the ability to work with AI tools. Learning and digital agility focuses on adapting to new tools as they change. Systems thinking and problem solving looks at how a candidate breaks down problems and decides where AI should be used within a workflow.
The framework also includes ethics and responsible use, which centres on transparency and accountability. The final pillar, human-AI collaboration, covers how candidates work alongside AI systems and decide when to rely on them.
Durville said the framework goes beyond narrow definitions of AI skill.
"AI fluency isn't just prompt engineering. It's all five aspects working together, and the good news is you can measure all of them."
New assessments
TestGorilla has introduced two AI video interview assessments built on the framework: one focused on learning agility and another on AI readiness.
According to the company, the learning agility assessment evaluates how candidates adapt, reflect on feedback, and learn dynamically. The AI readiness assessment looks at a candidate's approach to responsible AI use, adaptation to tools, and collaboration with AI in a workplace context.
TestGorilla has also updated more than 70 existing AI video interviews, embedding one or two AI fluency questions into role-specific assessments. The company said the approach helps assess role-level readiness at scale.
It has also launched five simulation tests using the same conversational AI technology as its video interviews. The simulations cover algorithmic reasoning, B2B account management, conflict handling for customer success, soft skills for customer success, and tech collaboration.
Hiring shift
The launch comes as many employers review how to evaluate candidates who use AI tools in day-to-day work. HR teams already screen for technical skills and job experience, but AI adds questions about judgement, transparency, and how work is divided between humans and software.
Recruiters also face pressure to keep assessments consistent across roles and regions. Companies deploying AI across many functions may look for common standards that apply to technical and non-technical jobs. At the same time, the spread of generative AI has raised concerns about what traditional application materials can reliably demonstrate.
Durville argued that established hiring methods do not reflect how work gets done in AI-enabled organisations.
"The resume was built for a pre-AI world. Updating your hiring stack isn't optional anymore. It's how you restore confidence in your signal and make great hires."
All the new features are now available within the TestGorilla platform, according to the company, with the added AI fluency questions also appearing in updated video interview assessments.
