Question 1

How does Gradogram's AI grading work?

Accepted Answer

Gradogram uses rubric-based AI grading for technical assessments. You define the grading rubric, the AI evaluates every answer against it and shows its reasoning, and every score is confirmed by a person before it counts. No black-box automation — you see why the AI scored it that way and can override when needed.

Question 2

Is Gradogram GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gradogram is built multi-tenant with GDPR soft-delete, candidate anonymization (right-to-be-forgotten), and an immutable audit trail. All candidate data processing follows GDPR principles by design, including lawful basis documentation and data minimization.

Question 3

Do you use webcams or biometric proctoring?

Accepted Answer

No. Gradogram uses session integrity checks, timing controls, and copy-paste guards — no webcam recording, no biometric data collection, no lockdown browser requirements. Assessment integrity without privacy intrusion.

Question 4

How is Gradogram different from HackerRank or Codility?

Accepted Answer

HackerRank and Codility focus on automated coding assessments optimized for algorithmic problem-solving. Gradogram adds human oversight (every AI grade is confirmed before it counts), reasoning transparency (you see the AI's evaluation logic), AI-assisted question generation for role-specific assessments, and a full hiring funnel (jobs → candidates → pipeline → hire, not just standalone assessments).

Question 5

Can I generate questions with AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gradogram's Question Studio can draft rubric-aligned questions from a role description or job spec. Every AI-generated question is reviewed by a person before it reaches a candidate, ensuring quality control and alignment with your hiring criteria.

Question 6

What does "human-confirmed AI grading" mean?

Accepted Answer

It means the AI provides a suggested score and reasoning for every assessment answer, but a recruiter or hiring manager must review and confirm it before the score becomes final. This ensures accountability, reduces the risk of AI errors affecting candidate outcomes, and maintains a human in the loop for all hiring decisions.

Question 7

Is Gradogram compliant with the EU AI Act?

Accepted Answer

Gradogram's architecture requires human confirmation before any AI-generated score becomes a final hiring decision or any automated action affects a candidate — consistent with the human-oversight principle the EU AI Act sets out for high-risk hiring AI (Article 14). This describes our platform's design, not a certification of EU AI Act compliance, which is a shared responsibility between Gradogram and the hiring organization deploying it, and includes obligations (conformity assessment, documentation, impact assessments) beyond what any single software vendor can satisfy alone.

Question 8

Do you have an audit trail for hiring decisions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every assessment event, score, grade confirmation, and hiring decision is logged to an immutable audit trail. You can trace every hire/reject decision back to its source data, supporting defensibility in candidate disputes and compliance audits.

Question 9

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Gradogram is currently onboarding founding partners via sales-assisted setup. We do not offer a self-service free trial at this stage. Contact us for a demo and to discuss founding-partner terms tailored to your engineering hiring needs.

Question 10

What does Gradogram cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is customized based on your hiring volume and team size during the founding-partner period. Contact our sales team for pricing tailored to your needs — we discuss terms during the demo rather than showing a fixed price list.

Question 11

What programming languages and question types does Gradogram support?

Accepted Answer

Gradogram supports rubric-graded assessments across multiple question types: coding challenges (algorithm, debugging, refactoring), system design, architecture discussions, and behavioral/technical scenarios. The AI grading engine is language-agnostic and works with any rubric you define. For engineering teams, we support assessments for backend, frontend, full-stack, DevOps, data engineering, and infrastructure roles.

Question 12

How long does it take to set up?

Accepted Answer

Setup is sales-assisted and typically takes 1-2 weeks from initial demo to first live assessment, including rubric configuration, question library setup, and team onboarding. We work directly with your hiring team during founding-partner onboarding to ensure the platform fits your specific engineering hiring process.
