Frequently asked

Questions about Labs.

Everything people ask before they apply or start a Lab. Each role page has questions specific to that Lab.

Is this really from Automaark?

Yes. Labs runs on automaark.com, our own domain, and invitations come from careers@automaark.com. We will never ask for a password, payment or ID documents. If in doubt, email careers@automaark.com.

Can I use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Cursor?

Yes, and we expect you to. You own everything you submit, so check what AI gives you, and tell us where it helped and where it was wrong. No help from another person. The full rules are on our AI-use page (labs.automaark.com/ai-use).

When does the clock start?

Only when you press Start. The deadline in your email is the last moment you can start. Pick any time before then that suits you; once you start, you finish in one sitting.

What if something breaks on your side?

If our platform fails during your attempt, it's on us. Reply to your invite email and we'll give you a fresh attempt.

What happens after I submit?

Your work is scored against the same written criteria as everyone else applying for that role. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a 30-minute call about what they did.

What do you do with my data?

We store your name, email, your assessment work and, for engineering roles, your GitHub username, only for this hiring process. Your work stays private, is never published, and is deleted within 12 months.

Still unsure? Email careers@automaark.com.
