StackCertified: AI-Operator
Every hire passes role-specific tests, AI workflow proof, and communication simulations before they ever meet you. This is why agencies trust Staff Stack operators to ship.
The 4-Part Certification Process
We don't just interview. We test for the skills that matter to agencies: practical execution, AI fluency, and async communication.
Role-Specific Practical Test
Timed, hands-on tests for each role: Klaviyo email builds, ad account QA audits, Shopify bugfixes. Not generic assessments — real agency work.
Example Tasks
- Build a 3-email abandoned cart flow in Klaviyo (45 min)
- QA an ad account for UTM/pixel issues (30 min)
- Fix a Shopify theme bug from a client ticket (60 min)
AI Workflow Proof
We require proof of AI-assisted work: prompt → output → edits → final deliverable. We hire operators, not button-pushers.
Example Tasks
- Show us a prompt-to-email workflow
- Demonstrate AI-assisted copy editing
- Walk through an AI-augmented design process
Communication Simulation
Async-first communication matters. We test for Loom recording, written updates, and escalation messaging.
Example Tasks
- Record a 2-minute Loom walkthrough
- Write a 5-bullet status update
- Draft an escalation message for a blocked task
Shareable Scorecard
You get a candidate scorecard: test scores, sample outputs, tool fluency checklist. Real data for real hiring decisions.
Example Tasks
- Test scores by category
- Sample deliverable from practical test
- Tool proficiency ratings (Klaviyo, Meta, Shopify)
