How it works

From hidden talent to hire, in three steps

One verified profile replaces the résumé and travels with the candidate everywhere.

  • Prove your skills once

    Take one AI-generated assessment built to detect cheating: a skills test plus a text interview. You get a verified skills profile, valid for 90 days.

  • Get evaluated blind

    Employers see your verified score and skills, never your name, photo, or background. Candidates are ranked on ability alone.

  • Reveal when you both agree

    Your identity unlocks only when an employer advances you and you consent. Every applicant gets a report card. No ghosting, ever.

Built for both sides of the table

The same verified-skills layer makes hiring fairer for candidates and faster for employers.

  • For candidates

    Get judged on what you can actually do.

    • Prove your skills, not your résumé
    • Apply anonymously, free from bias
    • A guaranteed report card on every application
    • One verified profile, apply everywhere

  • For employers

    A verified, anonymous pipeline in hours.

    • Ranked, verified candidates, ready to review
    • Blind evaluation, with fraud flagged for review
    • Human-in-the-loop, never an auto-reject
    • Designed for EU AI Act high-risk rules and Emiratization

One verified layer, the whole hiring stack

Everything you need to hire on proven skills, with trust and compliance built in.

  • Verified skills profile

    An assessment built to detect cheating replaces the résumé with a verified, portable skills score. Valid for 90 days.

  • Blind, anonymous evaluation

    Candidates are scored on skills only. No name, photo, school, or employer ever reaches a decision.

  • Integrity checks built to detect cheating

    Liveness checks, unique-per-session tests, and interview-integrity signals route risk to a human, never an auto-fail.

  • Zero-ghosting, enforced

    Every applicant gets a growth-framed report card with feedback. It is enforced in code, never optional.

  • Consented identity reveal

    CalHire is the identity broker: real identity unlocks only on mutual progress, per employer, immutably logged.

  • Compliance-native

    Designed to meet EU AI Act high-risk requirements ahead of Dec 2027, with controls for NYC Local Law 144, GDPR, UAE PDPL and Emiratization reporting.

The pipeline

From open role to verified hire

One continuous, auditable flow — AI does the heavy lifting, a human makes every decision.

  1. Post a role in minutes

    Generate a job description with AI, set the skills that matter, and choose your composite-score weights (test, interview, role-fit). No sourcing busywork.

  2. Candidates prove their skills

    Applicants take one AI-generated assessment built to detect cheating — a skills test plus a text interview — under the integrity layer. The résumé is replaced by a verified skills profile.

  3. Get a ranked, blind pipeline

    Verified candidates are scored and ranked on ability alone — no name, photo, or background. Below-threshold candidates are flagged for a human, never auto-rejected.

  4. Advance and reveal on consent

    Move candidates forward and request an identity reveal at an allowed stage. Real identity and right-to-work details unlock only with the candidate’s consent, for your team only, immutably logged.

  5. Offer, e-sign, and hire

    Send an e-signed offer to a verified person. Every declined candidate automatically receives a growth-framed report card — so no one is ever ghosted.

The trust layer

The verified score replaces the résumé. So we protect it like one.

CalHire is the identity broker in the middle: we verify the real human, hide them until a consented reveal, and keep every decision fair, explainable, and human-led.

  • Built to detect cheating

    Liveness checks, unique-per-session tests, response-latency, typing cadence, and LLM-likeness signals — risk routes to a human, never an auto-fail.

  • A human always decides

    AI recommends and explains; a person decides and is recorded. No code path can auto-reject a candidate.

  • No PII ever reaches a model

    Identity is stripped at a hard architectural boundary. Scoring, ranking, and interviews see skills only — never name, photo, school, or employer.

  • Explainable and audited

    Every person-affecting decision is logged, explainable, and tied to the human who made it — ready for the EU AI Act and bias audits.

The pipeline employers actually see

Verified skills and scores, ranked. No names, no photos. Identity stays hidden until you both decide to proceed.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan is the full core product — skills assessments, the verified anonymous pipeline, and report cards (CalHire-branded) — with low usage caps. Candidates are free forever, on every plan — they are never charged to prove their skills or to apply.
Do you charge a fee when we hire someone?
Not for direct hires. When a candidate applied to your job, there is no fee beyond your plan. A one-time placement fee (a standard 10% of the hired candidate’s salary, unless your plan or agreement sets a different rate) applies only to agency placements and to hires from marketplace outreach, where you invite a candidate from the talent marketplace. The percentage is shown before you send the outreach offer, and the fee is charged once, when the candidate accepts an offer.
What is anonymous-first hiring?
Candidates prove their skills once and apply without a résumé. You evaluate a verified skills profile and a score, with name, photo and employer history withheld until you and the candidate both agree to reveal. Identity is released at the reveal or offer stage, never before.
Do candidates still need a résumé?
No. A CalHire profile is built from verified skills assessments rather than a document, so the same profile works for every application and stays valid for 90 days. Employers see evidence of ability instead of a formatting exercise.
Does CalHire support single sign-on?
Yes, on the Enterprise plan: SAML 2.0 single sign-on with your identity provider, alongside identity verification and Emiratisation quota reporting.
How is candidate data protected?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, isolated per tenant with row-level security, and every access is audited. Enterprise plans add in-region data residency, configured with you — our hosting arrangements are still being finalised, so we confirm the region rather than name it in advance.
Can we export our data?
Yes. Analytics CSV export is included from the Scale plan up, and GDPR erasure workflows are built in on every plan.
Do you offer onboarding support?
Every plan includes email support. Business plans add priority support, and Enterprise customers get a dedicated customer success manager with an SLA.
