Passa is a portable, evidence-led professional identity platform that lets professionals verify their career history, references, skills, and interviews once, then be discovered by recruiters without a traditional CV. Every claim on a profile displays a transparent status—verified, pending, or self-declared—and verification status can never be purchased. The platform includes AI-assisted interviews and structured references, with recruiters using a pre-vetted network to shortlist candidates based on evidence rather than guesswork.

Problem
Traditional hiring processes rely on self-reported CVs and fragmented reference checks, making it difficult for recruiters to trust candidate claims and for professionals to reuse verified credentials across multiple applications. This leads to repetitive verification cycles, inefficiency, and a lack of transparency about what is actually confirmed.
Solution
Passa provides a portable, evidence-led professional identity where users verify their identity, career history, references, and skills once, then share that verified profile with recruiters. The platform uses AI to assist with structured interviews and CV parsing, while named referees and former employers confirm claims on the record. Every record displays an explicit status—verified, partially verified, pending, or self-declared—and no amount of payment can alter a verification outcome. Recruiters can search this pre-vetted network, compare candidates side by side, and access structured interviews and reference answers in one view, eliminating guesswork from hiring decisions.
Target Audience
Primary users are professionals seeking to build a trusted, portable career identity, and recruiters or hiring teams who want to shortlist candidates based on verified evidence rather than self-reported resumes.
