Problem
Companies often struggle to accurately assess the skills of potential hires or contractors, leading to mismatches between project requirements and developer capabilities. Traditional methods rely on resumes and interviews, which can be subjective and fail to provide reliable validation of specific platform expertise.

Consultants build profiles showcasing their experience and request reviews from colleagues familiar with their work on those projects. The platform aggregates these reviews into a Merit Score©, offering companies a more reliable and accurate assessment of a consultant's proficiency in specific software platforms. This enables companies to make more informed hiring decisions based on validated skills and peer feedback.
