- No résumé required
- Never ghosted
After a strong demo, the buyer says the price is too high for this quarter. What is the best next step?
A fairer way to get hired
The résumé rewards the past. CalHire rewards what you can do right now — verified, anonymous, and on your terms.
Skills over résumés
A verified skills profile replaces the CV. Prove what you can actually do once — no degree, no pedigree, no years-of-experience gatekeeping.
Anonymous until you decide
Companies evaluate your verified score and skills, never your name, photo, age, or background. Your identity unlocks only when you both agree to proceed.
Never ghosted
Every application gets a real answer. Decline or advance, you receive a growth-framed report card showing where you stood and how to improve.
One profile, everywhere
Assess once and apply to any role on CalHire with the same portable, verified credential. No re-doing tests for every company.
Fair by design
Blind evaluation, documented accommodations, and no biased webcam proctoring. A human reviews every decision — nothing is ever auto-rejected.
Free, always
Building your profile, taking the vetted assessment and applying are free for talent, forever. Premium coaching is optional, never required.
Your path to a great job, in four steps
One verified profile does the work the résumé never could — and it travels with you everywhere.
Build your skills-first profile
Sign up passwordless in seconds and declare what you know. Have a résumé? Upload it — it only pre-fills your declared skills. It is never stored or shown as your record.
Prove it once
Take one AI-generated vetted assessment built to detect cheating: a skills test plus a text interview under the integrity layer. You get a verified composite score, valid 90 days, retake-able after 30.
Apply anonymously
Companies see your verified score and skills, ranked on ability alone, never your name, photo, school or past companies. No model ever receives your personal information.
Reveal on your terms
When a company advances you and you consent, your identity and right-to-work details unlock for that one company, logged immutably. You are always in control.
What the vetted assessment looks like
A 25-question skills test and a 7-question text interview, about 50 minutes in total.

One score that proves what you can do
Your composite score is built from a skills test designed to detect cheating, a text interview, and how your verified skills fit a role, never from prestige or keywords. It carries a freshness badge so companies know it is current.
- Valid 90 days, retake after 30 — your score stays fresh and fair.
- Transparent weighting you can see — no black-box résumé match.
- New profiles get a minimal, anonymous talent-directory card on an opaque link, never derived from your name. One tap makes it private.

No one is ever left in the dark
Silence is the worst part of job hunting. On CalHire it is impossible by design: every outcome automatically sends you a growth-framed report card — what was strong, what to improve, and a clear next step. You always know where you stand.
And because a human reviews every decision, you are never filtered out by an algorithm you can’t see.
Assess once. Apply everywhere.
Your verified skills become a credential you own — not a test you repeat for every company.
Apply everywhere with one profile
Your verified credential works across every company on CalHire. Prove it once, reuse it for every application.
Share a verified badge
Add a shareable, tamper-proof verified badge to your links and socials — credibility that travels with you.
Found in the talent directory
New profiles are listed once the vetted assessment is complete: a minimal anonymous card with role area, score band, verified skills and region. One tap makes it private.
Know where you stand, every week
Job hunting goes quiet between applications. CalHire keeps you practising, informed and moving.
A daily practice streak
Every private mock interview you start counts toward a daily streak, so practice becomes a habit. If your streak is at risk, a gentle reminder nudges you — or switch reminders off.
Your week on CalHire
A weekly recap of company interest and updates on your applications, in the app and by email. It is skipped when there is nothing new, and you can turn it off. Report cards never wait for it: they arrive when a decision is made.
