For candidates
Build a résumé your colleagues have confirmed
You write the claims once. The people who were there confirm them, each answer counts for what it's actually worth, and you decide which recruiter sees which roles. Free, for as long as you use it.
Write claims, not bullet points
A claim is one sentence a former colleague can confirm or correct: what you did, when, and how big your part was. Bundling three achievements into one line is the most common mistake — a reference can only give it one accuracy number, and that number ends up meaning nothing.
Drove significant growth across the platform
Led the checkout rebuild that raised completed orders from 61% to 74% in 2022
The first one has nothing a colleague can confirm or correct. The second names the work, the change, and the year.
Team leadership and mentoring
Managed four engineers, including two I hired, from March 2021 to June 2023
One number and two dates turn an adjective into something a former manager either recognises or doesn't.
Claims live under a position, so start by adding the job — company, title, and dates — then write its claims one at a time.
Invite the people who were there
For each position you invite a manager, a peer, a report, or a client by email, and you say how you worked together. They get a link, answer the claims for that position, and never set a password. It takes them about five minutes.
Pick people who saw the work
An answer from someone who worked on it with you counts fully; someone who only heard about it counts at 0.4. Two well-chosen references beat six distant ones.
Aim for two per claim
A claim with a single answer still shows a reading, but it is marked as resting on one person — recruiters can see that, so a second answer is the cheapest way to strengthen a claim.
You can't vouch for yourself
Invites to any address verified on your own account are refused, and an answer that turns out to be your own never counts.
Nudge, don't nag
Your dashboard shows who has opened their invite and who hasn't, with one Remind button per person. Invites expire after 14 days.
How a reading is worked out
Each claim gets a reading from 0 to 100, and a word for it: Strong at 85 and above, Moderate from 60, and Weak below that. The number is a weighted average of the accuracy scores your references gave, so an answer from a well-identified person who did the work with you moves it much further than a distant one.
Three things set an answer's weight
- How their identity was checked — a verified company email counts fully, a Google sign-in at 0.7, an email link alone at 0.4.
- How they knew the work — worked on it with you counts fully, saw the results at 0.75, heard about it at 0.4.
- Whether your two stories match — if you both describe the relationship the same way and your dates overlap, the answer counts fully; a disagreement or a gap reduces it.
Your reference also says what your part was — led it, a major part, one of several, or a small part. That is shown beside the claim rather than folded into the number, because it describes the work, not how accurate the sentence is.
The exact factors a recruiter sees are on the recruiter's guide, and identity checks and trust flags are set out in trust & safety.
