Problem
Traditional hiring processes often rely on resumes and cover letters, which can reinforce privilege and fail to accurately communicate a candidate's true value. This leads to ineffective hiring decisions, increased turnover, and a lack of diversity within organizations.

The platform moves beyond traditional resumes and job descriptions to assess candidates holistically, emphasizing factors like dignity, autonomy, growth, purpose, and belonging. By prioritizing quality over quantity, Handprint helps employers identify candidates who are the right fit for their team and culture, leading to increased employee engagement and reduced turnover. The platform aims to create a more equitable and effective hiring process for both job seekers and employers.
