What is Meritia?
Meritia helps hiring teams assess people working with AI, with fair access to tools and clear evidence of the skills behind the result. In our written work simulations, assessors review candidates’ built-in AI conversations alongside their submitted work. Human assessors award every mark; your hiring team makes the hiring decision.
What is a work simulation in hiring?
A work simulation asks a candidate to tackle a realistic challenge related to the role. In Meritia, candidates receive a brief and supporting material, investigate the evidence and produce written work explaining their recommendation. The assessment gives your panel concrete work to discuss alongside the rest of your recruitment process.
Which skills and roles can we discuss?
Our available assessment material covers programming, data science, cybersecurity and other professional skills, including judgement. We agree the task, permitted AI support, assessment criteria and delivery requirements for your role. The public sample illustrates one written exercise; the selected technical assessment and its delivery are scoped separately.
How is AI used in the assessment?
Candidates can use Meritia’s built-in AI assistant under explicit assessment rules. Assessors can review their prompts and AI responses alongside their written work to understand the questions they ask, the responses they challenge and the decisions they defend. This record covers AI used inside Meritia, rather than activity in personal AI accounts or other devices.
Does AI mark any part of the assessment?
No. AI does not mark any part of Meritia’s assessment. Human assessors review the candidate’s work against agreed criteria and award every mark. Your hiring team makes the hiring decision.
Does Meritia make the hiring decision?
No. Your assessors review candidate work against agreed criteria, and your team makes the hiring decision. Meritia supports the work-assessment stage alongside your existing recruitment process.
How should assessors interpret integrity signals?
Pasting, time away from the assessment and similarity to AI output can provide context for a human review. None alone establishes misconduct. Interpret those signals alongside the task, declared AI conditions and the candidate’s work.
How does the free recruitment trial work?
Discuss a full free trial for one real recruitment round. Before candidates participate, we agree the role, candidate numbers, timetable, data arrangements, assessor responsibilities and measures of usefulness. Your human assessors award the marks. Any paid continuation is a separate decision, with no automatic obligation.
