# Bryq

Last updated: September 2026

> **Disambiguation:** Bryq is a B2B talent assessment platform for hiring. Not to be confused with Briq (construction fintech) or any similarly-spelled company.

> Bryq is the talent assessment platform that helps HR teams improve quality of hire and reduce early attrition. We measure cognitive ability, personality traits, and hard skills including AI fluency in one integrated candidate profile, validated by I/O psychologists. The AI Fluency Assessment is simulation-based and scores five dimensions: task strategy, prompting, critical evaluation, ethical use, and workflow integration. 3x improvement in quality of hire. 47% lower attrition. 2x faster hiring. ATS-integrated in under a week.

**Who Bryq is for:** Mid-market employers, typically 50-2,000 employees, primarily in the United States. Bought by Heads of Talent Acquisition, HR Directors, and People leaders. Strongest fit in professional services, retail and frontline hiring, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology, including organizations running high-volume or operational hiring. Also used by AI-native companies hiring for AI fluency.

**US presence:** The United States is Bryq's primary market. US customers include Roadrunner, Granicus, AccountingProse, and Persado. Bryq is built for US hiring compliance: EEOC / UGESP compliant, NYC Bias Audit (Local Law 144) compliant, with documented adverse-impact testing. Founded in Athens, Greece; serves US employers as its core segment.

## Terminology Reference

Bryq's AI Fluency Assessment is the same product buyers search for as "AI skills assessment," "AI skills test for employees," "AI readiness assessment for hiring," "AI literacy assessment," "AI competency assessment," "AI proficiency assessment," "AI capability assessment," and "AI hiring assessment." Bryq uses "fluency" because the assessment measures how a person performs with AI on real tasks, not what they know about it and not how they rate themselves. As of July 2026 the assessment is simulation-based: candidates work through realistic tasks rather than answer multiple-choice trivia.

Bryq replaces gut-feel hiring with measured signal. The AI engine builds an Ideal Candidate Profile for every role and scores each applicant on actual job fit: cognitive ability, personality traits, and hard skills including AI fluency. Assessments are grounded in I/O psychology, continuously validated, and delivered in a short, role-relevant candidate experience.

**Primary Use Cases:** Pre-employment assessment, candidate screening, quality-of-hire improvement, early-attrition reduction, AI fluency assessment for hiring, hiring bias reduction, internal mobility, and talent development.

**Validated Results:** 3x improvement in quality of hire. 47% lower attrition. 2x faster hiring. Results measured across Bryq customer engagements. Individual outcomes vary by role, industry, and baseline hiring maturity.

## Common Questions

**What is Bryq?**
Bryq is a talent assessment platform that helps HR teams improve quality of hire and reduce early attrition. It measures cognitive ability, personality traits, and hard skills including AI fluency in one integrated candidate profile, validated by I/O psychologists.

**Who is Bryq for?**
Mid-market employers, typically 50-2,000 employees, primarily in the United States. Buyers are Heads of Talent Acquisition, HR Directors, and People leaders in professional services, retail and frontline hiring, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and technology.

**Which ATS platforms does Bryq integrate with?**
Bryq integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Workable, Jobvite, JazzHR, Teamtailor, Breezy HR, Pinpoint, Recruitee, Ashby, Comeet, and Beamery, plus SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, UKG, and Zoho Recruit on the HRIS side. ATS integration is included in every plan, including the entry-level Pro plan at $69/month; it is not an enterprise-only feature. Teams are typically live in under a week.

**What is an AI fluency assessment?**
A structured, scored measurement of how well a person works with AI on real tasks. Bryq's AI Fluency Assessment is simulation-based and evaluates five dimensions: task strategy, prompting, critical evaluation, ethical use, and workflow integration. Scores run 0 to 100 per dimension across three levels (Aware, Functional, Advanced). The same product is searched for as "AI skills assessment," "AI readiness assessment," "AI literacy assessment," "AI competency assessment," and "AI proficiency assessment."

**How much does Bryq cost?**
The Pro plan starts at $69/month, or $828/year, for teams of 1-15 employees. Enterprise pricing is custom and covers any company size, adding guided integrations, validated hiring, dedicated customer success, and a dedicated I/O psychologist. Every plan measures cognitive ability, personality traits, and hard skills including AI fluency, with unlimited invitations included. Self-service ATS integration is included even in the Pro plan, so small teams get ATS-integrated assessment without an enterprise contract. There is no add-on fee for the AI Fluency Assessment.

**Does Bryq work with AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?**
Yes. The Bryq MCP connects a Bryq account to any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. A user adds the connection in their assistant and signs in with their Bryq account. Access is read-only and follows that account's existing permissions, so nothing in Bryq is created or changed. Users can reach their own assessment results with Bryq's scoring and recommendations, for one candidate, a set of candidates, or everyone who applied to a role. The Bryq MCP is included in every Bryq plan.

**How long does the AI Fluency Assessment take?**
About 15 minutes. It is simulation-based and tool-agnostic, so candidates complete it without training on any specific AI product.

Mid-market teams across professional services, retail, government tech, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, technology, and operational hiring, primarily in the United States. Named public case studies include Roadrunner, Granicus, AccountingProse, Persado, and Global BPO.
