A verified trust layer for student-to-work.
Across disciplines — tech, engineering, business, science, design — matching people to roles is hard when skills are self-reported. We're building a layer where academic partners can verify student work, companies see clearer signals, and students carry portable proof across the EU. Starting in Italy.
We connect people and values.
We connect people and values — verified evidence on one side, real opportunities on the other.
People are worth more than the way they're currently described.
A CV is a translation of work that already happened — usually translated badly. A LinkedIn profile is a self-description optimized for search. Neither tells you whether someone can actually do the job. Both let bias travel further than it should.
We built InTransparency to put the work back in front of the decision. Skills extracted from real artifacts. Grades read in their original system, normalized for everyone else. Optional verification from the academic partner that knows. Outcomes tracked back to the signal that predicted them.
What we won't do
- We won't pretend a logo strip is a customer base. If it's a conversation, we'll say it's a conversation.
- We won't gate hiring on prestige. The whole point of measuring skills is that the school stops being the headline.
- We won't sell fear. No "talent shortage" landing pages, no cost-of-bad-hire countdowns to push a subscription.
- We won't replace your ATS, your HRIS, or the interviewer's judgment. We feed the systems that already work, and we hand off where someone else does the job better.
Why "InTransparency"
The opposite of opaque hiring isn't more rules. It's more visible work. The name is a promise: what's measured is shown — and what isn't shown isn't measured. We built the company on that distinction.
How hiring decisions are made today — and how we change it
- Self-reported skills with no evidence attached
- Projects summarised in a line instead of shown
- Favours how people write about themselves
- Hard to compare candidates across institutions
- A mismatched hire costs around €4,000 — industry estimate
- AI-Verified · Optional Professor Bonus projects in any format
- Hard and soft skills surfaced from evidence
- A profile that complements — doesn't replace — the CV
- Work you can actually look at, not just claims
- Matches you can explain, with human review available
Same flow, both sides
A student uploads real work. Our AI extracts the skills with the source attached. A recruiter opens a Decision Pack that shows the evidence behind every claim. One loop, two surfaces.
What we're trying to do
A platform where skills are verified, matches are explained, and requirements are clearer.
The context
- Self-reported skills
Without optional professor endorsement (bonus signal), skills are hard to validate — which leads to mismatched hires on both sides.
- Unexplained matches
Without an explanation of the match, candidates have nothing to improve on and recruiters can't audit decisions.
- Vague requirements
When job descriptions are vague, candidates can't self-assess fit and apply broadly instead of relevantly.
- Feedback that doesn't come back
Without data flowing back to universities, curricula drift away from what employers actually need.
Our approach
- Real skills with optional professor endorsement (bonus signal)
Hard skills (Python, AutoCAD, Excel) and soft skills (teamwork, leadership, communication) tied to projects, courses, and institutional records.
- Explainable matching
Every match surfaces the why (e.g. "your Python project matches 3 of 4 requirements"). No black box; students can ask for human review.
- Two-way transparency
Companies state requirements clearly. Students see exactly what jobs ask for. Institutions see which skills are being searched for most.
- Clear audit trails
Students see who viewed their work. Institutions see hiring patterns. GDPR Art. 15-ready.
Trust takes time to build. We'd rather earn it step by step than promise it upfront.
Our mission
We'd like to contribute to a European way of hiring where what a person can actually do is visible — verified by the institutions that taught them. Not a replacement for the CV; an honest complement to it.
"Work that speaks for itself, paths that can be explained, hiring decisions you can stand behind."
Why we started
There's a gap in EU hiring: companies can't easily find the right graduates, and graduates can't easily find roles that fit. The tools in between — CVs, job boards, opaque algorithms — weren't designed for trust.
We think transparency helps. When a student's work is verified by their university, a recruiter has something to work with beyond claims. When a company states clearer requirements, a student has a fairer chance of finding their fit. When outcomes are tracked, universities can see their impact.
We started in Bergamo. The scope is European: we'd like a continent where a mechanical engineer from Brescia and a data scientist from Berlin can be evaluated on the same, verifiable grounds.
That's the layer we're trying to build.
What we care about
Skills alongside stories
What you've built adds to how you describe it. A verified project is evidence a reader can examine.
Access over gatekeeping
Visibility shouldn't depend on which school is on your letterhead. We'd like every student's work to get a fair look.
Transparency over opacity
Students see who views their work. Companies see verified data. Institutions see real outcomes. No hidden algorithms, no black boxes.
Proof alongside words
AI-Verified · Optional Professor Bonus work sits next to a candidate's own description — together they're better.

Early access
We're in early development — the best time to shape what we build
Students get judged on work that speaks for itself. Companies get signals they can audit. Neither replaces the other — together they just make hiring clearer.
Product definition
Wording aligned with the description required for the Italian innovative-startup registry (Camera di Commercio).
InTransparency is a B2B2C digital Academic Talent Intelligence platform for matching students and graduates from universities, ITS academies and secondary schools with Italian and international companies, available both as a standalone web application and as a plugin integrable into academic and school portals. This product is innovative in that it allows the traditional curriculum vitae to be replaced with verified portfolios of real academic projects — theses, papers, deliverables and presentations — letting companies evaluate demonstrated rather than merely declared competencies, reducing the number of interviews required and the cost of the selection process, and introducing salary-transparency mechanisms in job postings in Italy and abroad. Furthermore, this software is highly technological in that it uses Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision algorithms for the automatic analysis of academic projects, an artificial-intelligence engine for candidate-to-position matching with explainable-scoring systems, an audit-log system compliant with the traceability and oversight principles of the European AI Act, and an API-first architecture integrable with the leading university, school and corporate information systems.
