The hiring bar is broken.

AI can now produce 80% of what most marketers deliver. Here's why that's a problem.

$150K

Average marketing hire salary

If your new hire's output is indistinguishable from what Claude produces for $20/month, you're paying 7,500x for the same work.

83%

AI-generatable take-homes

Your current screening process can't distinguish between a strategic thinker and someone who prompted their way through.

20hrs

Wasted per open role

Your senior team is spending days reviewing candidates who can't outperform the tools you already have.

How ProofOwl Works

We don't test if candidates avoid AI. We test if they're worth more than AI.

1

Tell us the role

Content marketing, demand gen, product marketing, growth — we generate custom assessments calibrated to what AI can do for that specific role.

2

Candidates complete it

35-minute browser-based exercise. Strategic scenarios, AI orchestration challenges, and comparative edits. AI access encouraged.

3

We run the AI benchmark

The same exercise runs through Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini in parallel. This is the baseline your candidate needs to beat.

Questions

Doesn't this penalize candidates for using AI?
The opposite. ProofOwl encourages AI usage during the assessment. We're testing whether candidates can use AI tools effectively AND add human value on top. The best score goes to someone who orchestrates AI brilliantly and then brings strategic insight AI can't generate.
How is this different from TestGorilla or other assessment tools?
Traditional assessment tools test "can this person do X." ProofOwl tests "can this person do X better than AI." We generate custom exercises calibrated to what Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini can actually produce for a specific role, then compare. No other tool does this.
Does it integrate with my ATS?
We're building native integrations with Ashby and Greenhouse first (launching Q2 2026), with Lever following shortly after. The assessment triggers automatically when a candidate reaches a specific pipeline stage, and the scorecard posts directly back to the candidate's profile.
What does a "free role audit" include?
We'll take one open marketing role at your company, analyze which tasks AI can handle vs. which require human judgment, and show you exactly what your assessment criteria should be. It takes 30 minutes of your time and you'll get a written report within 48 hours. No commitment.
How long does the candidate assessment take?
35 minutes. Two strategic exercises and one comparative edit. Candidates get access to AI tools during the assessment. It's designed to feel like a valuable exercise, not a hoop — most candidates tell us it's the most realistic hiring exercise they've done.
What does it cost?
Early access pricing starts at $299 per role assessment. Each assessment includes custom exercise generation, multi-model AI benchmarking, and a detailed Human Edge Scorecard. Volume pricing available for teams hiring 10+ roles per year.
