Skills-first hiring

A CV tells you what someone claims. The work tells you what they can do.

The CV isn’t wrong — it’s just a self-reported summary. Real projects plus AI-extracted skills make hiring more predictive, fairer and more compliant. That’s where we start.

We connect people and values.

The starting point

The limits of the CV

Not a failing of the person writing it — a limit of the tool itself.

Self-reported

A CV is a claim. Nothing in it is checked against the actual work.

Low signal

One page of bullet points can’t show how someone thinks or builds.

A compliance risk

Salary history and protected-data inference are exactly what new rules push out.

What evidence looks like

From real work to proof

01

Real projects

Students upload the actual work — theses, code, design, reports.

02

AI extracts the skills

Our AI reads each artifact and pulls out the skills, with the source attached.

03

Optional endorsement

A professor who supervised it can add a short confirmation. Optional, a bonus on top.

Why it works better

More predictive, fairer, documented

More predictive

What someone built predicts performance better than what they listed.

Fairer

Selecting on demonstrated skills reduces reliance on pedigree and protected attributes.

Documented

Every skill traces back to an artifact — defensible and transparent.

It’s also where new rules are pushing. Pay transparency and skills-first hiring →

For each side

One idea, three wins

Your projects are your proof — no more CV anxiety.

Recruiters

Trust what you can see, not what’s claimed.

Academic partners

Your students’ real work becomes verified evidence.
