HRM.2:4.3 - Make the assessment usable for the actual candidates

Specify administration, instructions, resources, time conditions, evidence handling and scoring. Ensure assessors can apply the criteria, and resolve material disagreements by examining the work and scoring grounds. Preserve applicable access, accommodation, privacy and representation requirements. An accommodation that removes an irrelevant barrier can improve the inference; a change that alters the assessed contribution needs its effect examined by the qualified supplier.

Tell candidates the material conditions and permitted use of assistance. If the job uses an agent, assess the relevant assisted contribution. If an outage or independently required operation matters, assess that condition for its own reason. Do not conceal a test of unaided performance inside a nominally assisted task, or interpret access to a more capable private agent as the person’s general mastery without justification.

AI assessment needs an identified model/procedure and evidence relevant to its use. Material changes in scoring or inputs can make prior scores incomparable. Reuse of data from other purposes, including private developmental or health material, requires its own grounds and permissions. A competent agent may perform assessment or checking; the required independence, competence and institutional authority determine the allocation.
