Assess Your Team’s AI Readiness

Before you hire — check if your marketing team is truly ready for AI.

Even the smartest recruitment strategy falls short if your existing roles and job descriptions aren’t designed for AI performance.

Take the Quiz & Get:

Your personalised AI Readiness Score
A free Job Description Audit for your next hire or to support your whole marketing team
