H-Evaluate feature
AI Sandbox
See how candidates actually work with AI
Many people now use AI tools at work. But a CV line that says "confident with AI" doesn't tell you how someone really uses them.
The AI Sandbox is an optional part of an H-Evaluate skills test. Candidates get an AI assistant and a real task for your role. They work through it, then explain what they did and why. You see how they work with AI, not just that they say they can.
It is available where your plan includes it, and you decide which roles need it.
What it covers
A real task for your role
Candidates work on a task that looks like the job, not a quiz. It is set for the role you are hiring for.
An AI assistant to work with
Candidates use an AI assistant during the task, as they would at work. They are told up front that AI is part of the test.
Their reasons, in their own words
When they finish, candidates explain what they did, what they checked and what they changed.
Results your team can discuss
Your team sees how each candidate did on the task, next to the rest of their results. Everyone is held to the same standard.
Why it matters
- ✓If the job uses AI tools, a test that bans them misses how the person will really work.
- ✓A hands-on task and the candidate's own explanation tell your team more than a line on a CV.
- ✓It is optional. Add it to roles where working with AI matters, and leave it out where it doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AI Sandbox assessment?
An AI Sandbox assessment is a hands-on task. A candidate uses an AI assistant to do real work for your role. When they finish, they explain what they did and why. In H-Evaluate it is an optional part of the skills test. It shows your team how someone works with AI, instead of relying on what their CV says.
Why let candidates use AI during a test?
Because many of them will use it in the job. A test that bans AI checks a way of working your new hire may never use. A real task with AI shows how they work with the tools they will have on day one. Candidates are always told up front that AI is part of the test.
Is the AI Sandbox included in every plan?
No. The AI Sandbox is optional and depends on your plan. Where your plan includes it, you decide which roles need it and which don't. In a demo we can show you how it works for a role you are hiring for. We can also confirm what your plan would include before you buy.
What does my hiring team see?
Your team sees how each candidate did on the task, next to the rest of their test results. Everyone is held to the same standard, so you can compare people fairly. Your team then talks the results through and makes the decision. H-Evaluate prepares the evidence; the choice of who to hire stays with you.
