where candidates agree upfront not to use GenAI, search engines or other tools during assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separate analysis by Talogy of more than 2,000 assessment participants showed that when an honesty contract was introduced at the start of the assessment, the number of candidates using some sort of assistance, (such as Gen AI, search engines or even asking family and friends) <strong><em>dropped from 28% to just 13%.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shows that while candidates may have a new tool to enable cheating, most still choose not to. Effective assessments support candidates to find an organisation and role that fits their needs and values &#8211; something they are clearly not prepared to put at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ted Kinney, VP of Research &amp; Development at Talogy, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cConfidence in assessment effectiveness needs to be restored for hiring managers if the recruitment process is to be a success and this is where the honesty contract has a pivotal role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s important to recognise that although the use of GenAI in assessments could be interpreted as cheating, it\u2019s still early days for AI and its use could also point towards a high potential candidate simply using the available tools and resources in order to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are heading into a future where using AI to complete assessments will simply be seen as standard practice, so it\u2019s important to focus on how we can enhance assessments to accommodate the honest use of AI in the world of talent assessment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, download Talogy\u2019s honesty contracts research <a href=\"https:\/\/info.talogy.com\/en-us\/generative-ai-and-assessment-completion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-black-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-537cecd9 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns two-keyline-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cb0a7ccb wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-border-color has-primary-600-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-ef36ea6d wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-width:2px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-s-font-size wp-elements-366165fa26e07a9d87ad7a2bec487513 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Talogy<\/strong><br>At Talogy, we&#8217;re proud to be one of the world&#8217;s leading talent management solution providers.
