The Problem

Finance Firms
Can't Measure
AI Skill.

Financial institutions increasingly expect junior and mid-level talent to be fluent in AI tools — yet most firms still have no reliable way to measure AI skill in a job-relevant setting.

Existing recruiting processes test technical knowledge and finance knowledge, but they rarely test whether a candidate can effectively use AI to complete real tasks under realistic constraints.

Can't distinguish real AI users
Firms cannot tell who merely talks about AI vs. who can use it to produce better work faster.
No meaningful benchmarks
Hiring teams cannot compare AI fluency across candidates using consistent, role-specific scoring.
Interviews miss applied skill
Candidates can talk about AI fluency without proving they can use it under realistic finance constraints.
The Platform

Hiring Assessments.
Sharper Signal.

Pine helps hiring teams evaluate AI fluency with role-specific finance tasks, embedded AI assistance, structured scoring, and recruiter-ready reports.
