Chronos includes a complete work-sample hiring module. Send candidates a structured assessment built around the actual job. Get back scored submissions, integrity flags, and a kanban pipeline — no separate ATS required.
The problem we solve
Traditional hiring screens on pedigree — where you went to school, who you worked for. Research keeps confirming the better predictor is a slice of the actual job. Chronos gives every hiring team the tools to ask candidates to do the work, and score it consistently.
Start from a role template or build your own. Mix task types to cover what the job actually requires.
Upload a candidate list or share a public link. Candidates get an email; no account needed to start.
Every submission is scored against your rubric with a written rationale. Integrity flags surface on the same view.
Drag candidates across kanban stages. Reviewers add private notes. Every decision is logged.
Seven submission types
Chronos ships with seven task types because different jobs need different things. A marketing role doesn't need a code sandbox; a data engineer probably does. Mix and match per role template.
In-browser Monaco editor with JavaScript, Python, SQL, and HTML/CSS runtimes. Auto-tested against expected output.
Subject and body with automatic checks for spam triggers, call-to-action clarity, and tone.
Long-form writing with formatting. AI scores against a rubric you define and returns a written rationale.
Multi-step branching decision task. Great for testing judgement in support, sales, and operations roles.
Webcam-recorded answer. Useful for communication-heavy roles — sales, exec, customer success.
Portfolio, report, deck, or design file. Reviewed by humans with a rubric and optional AI draft.
Multi-prompt questionnaires for structured case studies or multi-part answers.
Role templates
We've built out 25 role-specific assessment templates across twelve categories — engineering, data, marketing, sales, operations, finance, legal, design, product, support, content, and executive. Every template is a starting point you can edit, not a locked-in framework.
…and thirteen more. All editable, clonable, and customizable.

AI rubric scoring
Chronos uses Claude to evaluate subjective submissions — writing, emails, scenario choices — against the rubric you wrote. You get a numeric score per criterion and a written rationale reviewers can read in thirty seconds. Hiring managers stop rubber-stamping top-of-pile résumés.
Integrity tracking
For remote assessments, Chronos tracks integrity signals in the background — tab blur, paste detection, webcam snapshots, approximate geolocation — and surfaces them on the reviewer view. Not to catch-and-reject, but to give reviewers the context they need.
