Before sending an assignment

Confirm job relevance; set the time box, permitted tools and AI policy, submission method and accessibility contact. Approve role-specific anchors and weights before reviewing submissions. Use fictional inputs, keep the exercise separate from production work and follow the candidate instructions.

The materials do not validate a selection procedure or predict job performance. Have qualified HR and legal reviewers approve the exercise and applicable process, compensation, privacy and recordkeeping requirements.
