Why it works
Built so resumes can’t be gamed.
Every job board has the same flaw: the application is the unit of competition, so the winner is whoever rewrites their resume best for each posting. Inflated titles, invented rates, keyword stuffing. None of that is dishonesty exactly; it’s what the system asks for. We removed the rewrite button instead of asking people to behave.

Job descriptions stay hidden
Candidates never read what you're looking for, so there's nothing to mirror back at you. Everything about a profile was written before your job existed. This is also why you can be blunt in a job description in a way you never could in a public advert: real budget, real dealbreakers, the thing that got the last two hires fired.

Profiles are frozen at posting
The moment you publish, we snapshot every profile we rank. Later edits change nothing about what you were shown, and you see the date each person last touched theirs. Someone who hasn't edited in 74 days isn't reacting to you.

Claims carry their source
A skill is either confirmed by a past engagement both sides signed off on, or it's self-reported. We weight confirmed claims roughly double and label them so you can see the difference. Anyone can type "expert in Dentrix"; not everyone can point at the practice that agreed.

One rate, locked
A standing rate applies to every employer, changes lock for 30 days, and the history is visible to anyone who shortlists that person. It ends the guessing game where the outcome depends on who read whom better.

Short slates beat padded ones
Below a quality threshold we return nobody rather than filling five seats. When we tested against the real pool, an Amazon PPC job surfaced a recruiter and a postal-services generalist in the top five; that shortlist now comes back empty, honestly, instead of spending your attention on people we already know are wrong.
What this doesn’t fix
Hidden job descriptions stop tailoring at the matching stage; they don’t stop someone overselling in the interview once the job is finally revealed to them. Frozen profiles prove what was claimed and when, not whether it was true. Identity verification, which is optional, ties an account to a real person on one day and says nothing about the next.
What the design actually buys is narrower and more useful than “no more bad hires”: the profile that got someone in front of you existed before you did. Every claim on it is either backed by someone else or visibly not. Whether they can do the job is still a conversation you have to have.
