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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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

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.

Hire someone who can work from anywhere

Post a role and this comes with it. No contract, no seat licences, no sales call.
