Talent proven before you ever meet them.
Every candidate completes a real, role-specific project, then walks an expert through it in a 30-minute video interview, and earns a transparent tier that shows what they can actually do.
How it works
Identity verification (KYC).
Before anything else, every candidate’s identity is verified. Each result belongs to a real, traceable person, never an anonymous account.
Aptitude test.
A multiple-choice and cognitive test checks core knowledge and problem-solving in the candidate’s chosen domain. Only candidates who pass move on to the project stage.
Data science · fundamentals
Multiple choice + reasoning
Real-world project assessment.
The candidate receives a realistic client brief, deliberately open-ended, the way real briefs are, so they have to spot the gaps and resolve them. The work happens in a private repository created automatically for them, and progress is tracked live as they build, so the process is visible, not just the final result.
Client brief: churn dashboard
Private repository · created automatically
- Asked: which time window counts as churn?
- Committed: cleaned the customer dataset
One-on-one video interview.
In a 30-minute interview with a subject-matter expert with at least 10 years of experience, the candidate walks through their project, explains their decisions and adapts the work when asked. This confirms the skill is genuinely theirs.
Scoring.
The aptitude test is scored by AI. The project and interview are assessed by experts against defined criteria, and a human makes the final decision.

Job-ready
Complex, high-stakes work, end to end.
Solid operators
Tier BStrong, dependable performers for mainstream project work.
Rising talent
Tier CCapable, with real potential. Ideal for well-scoped tasks.
Tiers describe proven ability, not years on a CV, so you can match the complexity of your project to the right level with confidence.
Why three stages
Knowledge
The aptitude test confirms the fundamentals are there.
Real work
The project shows how a candidate handles an unclear brief, from first question to finished result.
Live explanation
The interview shows how they think and confirms the work is their own.
Each signal alone can be gamed. Together, they are much harder to fake, including with AI-generated work.
Below the bar, or aiming higher
Candidates who don’t reach a tier receive specific feedback and can re-attempt after two months. Candidates who want to move up a tier can also re-take the assessment after two months. The test is built to measure growth, not to lock anyone out.
