Signal Profiles for Employers
See which skills a candidate can actually back up.
The problem it solves
Every resume lists the same terms. “Project management”, “stakeholder communication”, “SEO” — and nothing in the list tells you whether someone ran that function for three years or touched it once on a side project.
So the first interview goes on establishing what should have been clear from the application, and occasionally you find out in week three that a headline skill was thinner than it looked.
How it works
Skills linked to real work
Candidates connect each skill to the specific role, project or accomplishment where they used it, with a note describing what they actually did.
Evidence you can count
A skill used across three roles reads differently from one used once. The profile shows that difference instead of flattening both into a list item.
Visible on the application
Where a candidate has built a profile it sits alongside their resume in your pipeline — no extra step, no request for more information.
What you get
- Which skill claims are evidenced, and which are only listed
- The work behind each capability, in the candidate’s own words
- Shorter first interviews, because the basics are already established
- A fairer read on career changers, whose evidence often sits outside job titles
What it looks like
Illustrative example — real profiles are built by candidates from their own history.
Common questions
Do all candidates have one?+
No, it is optional and a minority of members have built one so far. Where a candidate has not, you still get their resume and application as normal — the profile is additional, not a replacement.
Can candidates exaggerate the evidence?+
They can write what they like, the same as on a resume. What changes is that a claim has to be attached to a specific role or project with a description, which is harder to bluff and much easier for you to probe in an interview.
Is this a personality or aptitude test?+
No. It records what someone did and where. There is no inferred trait, no ranking of people against each other, and no score generated about the candidate as a person.
Can I search by evidenced skills?+
Yes. In the talent browser you can filter for candidates who have evidence behind a skill rather than only listing it.
