PROVEN
PROVEN is a professional validation platform that combines structured self-assessments with anonymous peer feedback to create trusted, data-driven profiles of a candidate's real capabilities. The platform scores professionals across four dimensions—experience, knowledge, attitude and skills, and contribution—so hiring teams can skip lengthy resume reviews and focus on pre-validated candidates. Each professional initiates, controls, and owns their validation process and resulting report, with peers personally invited to provide anonymous feedback.

Problem
Traditional hiring relies heavily on self-reported resumes and gut feelings, which often conceal a candidate's true professional capabilities and fit. This approach leads to time-consuming screening processes and costly hiring mistakes, as recruiters lack reliable, unbiased signals about how a person actually performs in a work environment.
Solution
PROVEN provides a talent validation platform that builds trusted professional profiles through structured self-assessments combined with anonymous peer feedback. The platform scores candidates across four dimensions—experience, knowledge, attitude and skills, and contribution—to deliver a transparent, holistic view of their capabilities. Hiring teams can access pre-validated profiles instantly, skipping lengthy resume reviews and focusing on candidates who have already been vetted by people who have worked with them. Each professional initiates, controls, and owns their own validation process and resulting report, with peer feedback gathered anonymously from individuals personally invited by the candidate. This approach removes bias, reveals authentic strengths, and helps employers make informed hiring decisions without disrupting their existing recruiting workflow.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hiring managers, recruiters, and human resources teams at companies of all sizes who want to reduce screening time, minimize bad hires, and identify overlooked talent without overhauling their current recruiting processes.
