The problem

Hiring is broken

AI-generated applications have flooded inboxes. You can't tell who's genuine anymore.

3x
more applications per hire

Applications have nearly tripled since 2021, burying quality candidates in noise.

75%
use AI to write applications

Most candidates now use AI tools, making every application sound identical.

23hrs
wasted per hire screening

Recruiters spend days reading CVs that lead nowhere.

How it works

Three steps to better hiring

Create a role, share your link, and let quality rise to the top.

01

Create an assessment

Choose written, audio, or code challenges. Use our templates or write your own question that tests what actually matters.

02

Share your link

Candidates complete the assessment before uploading their CV. We track authenticity signals invisibly in the background.

03

Review authentic candidates

See responses ranked by quality and authenticity score. Reveal CVs only for candidates who impress you with their work.

Authenticity signals

Know if they wrote it themselves

We track behavioural signals invisibly. Candidates never see their score, so they can't game the system.

Start for free

Time spent

2 minutes vs 15 minutes tells you everything about effort and engagement.

Edit patterns

Real writing has revisions and corrections. Copy-paste doesn't.

Paste detection

Spot content copied from AI tools or other sources instantly.

Typing rhythm

Humans type with natural rhythm and variance. Pasted text doesn't.

Focus tracking

Constant tab switching suggests external help or AI assistance.

Authenticity score

0-100 score combining all signals lets you filter candidates at a glance.
