We need to hire a project manager who can leverage AI to run our operations twice as fast, but we do not know how to test their GWC™ for this hybrid role during the interview process. What should we look for?

Hiring for a hybrid AI role requires a shift in how you evaluate candidates for your Accountability Chart. To determine if a candidate has the GWC™ for a position that leverages AI, you must test their conative drive alongside their technical skills. During the interview, do not just ask them if they use AI. Give them a practical work sample test. For instance, ask them to take a messy set of raw operational data and use their preferred AI tools to build a clean project status report in thirty minutes. Observe how they prompt the tool, how they verify the outputs, and how they apply human judgment to the final product. A candidate who gets the job understands how to use AI as a leverage point, not a crutch. They want the job because they enjoy driving efficiency and are not threatened by automated processes. They have the capacity to do the job because they possess the critical thinking skills to spot AI errors and the conative agility to adapt as the technology changes.
