The hiring gap

AI writes the reports now. Who’s reading them critically?

AI output looks authoritative

AI-generated security reports are increasingly polished — and increasingly wrong. Candidates who can't distinguish confident AI prose from sound analysis are a liability.

Interviews don't surface this gap

Technical screens test memorised CVEs and syntax. Scenario-based assessments reveal whether candidates actually reason through an analysis or just pattern-match.

Standard rubrics are subjective

Most soft-skill assessments rely on interviewer opinion. ScenarioLab scores against a fixed key — same standard for every candidate, every time.

How it works

Three steps from sign-up to insight

01

Choose a scenario

Select from curated scenarios — each contains an AI-generated security report with embedded analytical flaws, scored against a fixed rubric.

02

Invite candidates

Paste a candidate email and we send them a private assessment link. They authenticate with a one-time code — no account creation needed.

03

Review the results

Each submission produces a detailed evaluation report: per-question scores, reasoning quality, and an overall band. Export as PDF for your records.

Built for security teams

Designed with rigour in mind

No AI in scoring

Every response is evaluated against a deterministic rubric. Scoring is a pure function — reproducible and auditable.

Time-limited by design

20-minute sessions. Realistic pressure without the noise of open-book take-homes.

Structured evaluation

Per-question scoring with overall bands. Clear signal on where a candidate's reasoning breaks down.

Privacy-first

Candidate emails are hashed after OTP verification. Raw answers are never written to the database.
