Proof of Work: Hire for What People Can Do

Resumes lie. Portfolios don't. Let candidates prove their abilities with real projects, code, designs, and outcomes—not just credentials.

Built for teams running proof of work for talent decisions at scale

See it in action

Real project challenges

Candidates submit actual code, designs, or work samples, not a resume claim.

Structured evaluation

Submissions are assessed against explicit, role-relevant criteria.

Faster, fairer decisions

Evaluate ability directly instead of inferring it from credentials.

See capability, not just history

The best engineer you'll ever meet might not have a Stanford degree. They have a GitHub history that tells you exactly what they can build. Proof of Work lets that speak for itself.

  • Candidates share portfolios, GitHub repos, case studies, and measurable outcomes

  • Validate skills through real work artifacts—not hypothetical interview questions

  • Anonymous evaluation removes bias and focuses attention on merit

  • Direct integrations with GitHub, Behance, Dribbble, and custom uploads

Built for how HR teams actually work

Credentials don’t predict performance

A portfolio of real work is a better signal than a job title on a resume.

Fair by design

Every submission is judged against the same explicit criteria.

Faster than a full interview loop

See proof of capability before committing to a lengthy process.

How it fits into your workflow

Every role, evaluated on real work

From code reviews to design critiques—hire based on demonstrated ability, not interview performance.

Engineering

Review actual code. See open-source contributions. Evaluate architecture decisions from real projects—not whiteboard exercises.

Design & creative

Browse portfolios from Behance and Dribbble. Read case studies with before/after metrics. See the work, not just the presentation.

Product management

Evaluate real PRDs, feature specs, and launch retrospectives. See how candidates think through product problems.

Marketing & content

Review campaigns with actual results. Read writing samples. See content portfolios with engagement metrics attached.

Data & analytics

Explore analysis notebooks, SQL queries, and dashboards. See how candidates approach real data problems.

Hire skills, not stories

Stop asking candidates to describe what they've done. Start seeing it for yourself.

  • Bias-aware review

    Anonymous review means evaluators see work quality—not names, schools, or photos. Pure merit.

  • Reduce mis-hires by half

    When you see real work before extending an offer, surprises after day one become rare.

  • Screen faster, screen better

    Portfolio review beats resume parsing and phone screens. Get to the good candidates quickly.

  • Help great candidates shine

    Top performers finally get a chance to stand out. No more lost in a pile of identical resumes.

  • Build a skills-first culture

    Signal to the market that you care about what people can do—not where they went to school.

  • Defensible and fair

    Structured rubrics create audit trails. Every hiring decision backed by documented evaluation.

From portfolio to offer letter

Skills-validated hiring in three straightforward steps.

1

Candidates showcase their work

Link GitHub, Behance, Dribbble, or upload custom samples. Add context: what was the challenge, what was the outcome, what was learned.

2

Evaluators review anonymously

Hiring teams score work against structured rubrics. No names, no schools, no photos—just work quality and demonstrated skill.

3

Agents prepare the evidence for review

Analyze technical depth, creativity, and impact against the rubric, then let accountable hiring stakeholders make the shortlist decision.
