Hire with proof, not promises.

Independent skills validation and hiring intelligence for enterprise technical teams. Know who can actually do the work — before the offer.

The Problem

Interviews reward performance. Not competence.

Technical hiring is broken. Candidates rehearse answers. AI generates polished portfolios. And your team spends weeks interviewing people who can’t do the job.
 
Raise Skills Validation evaluates the candidates you already have — with proof-of-work assessments, skills fraud detection, and AI competency validation — so you make decisions based on evidence, not gut feel.

How It Works

Evidence-based hiring in three steps.

We evaluate the candidates you already have. No placement. No recruiting. Just truth.

1

Define the Role
We deconstruct the role into a validated skills taxonomy — the actual competencies required, not a wish-list job description. AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, full-stack, data engineering — mapped to what the work actually demands.

2

Assess with Proof
Candidates complete proof-of-work technical assessments, Jupyter-based coding challenges, and video knowledge checks. AI scoring delivers 0–100 ratings with evidence breakdowns — strengths, risks, and transcript-anchored clips.

3

Decide with Confidence
You get a scored pipeline with skills fraud flags, hire/pass recommendations, and the evidence to defend every decision to your VP or board. No opinions — just data.

Why Raise

Neutral. Evidence-based. Structurally different.

Most assessment vendors are selling you candidates or software seats. We evaluate the people you already have — with no placement incentive, no upsell, no conflict of interest. The evidence speaks for itself.

No Placement Conflict

We don’t place candidates. We evaluate them. Our only incentive is accuracy — which means you can trust the results.

Skills Fraud Detection

AI-generated portfolios, rehearsed answers, credential inflation — we flag it before you make a $45K mistake.

AI Competency Validation

Separate real capability from interview performance. Proof-of-work assessments that candidates can’t game with GPT.

Evidence You Can Defend

Every score comes with transcript clips, code artifacts, and risk analysis. Take it to your VP, your board, or your audit team.

Proof Point

Enterprise AI Hiring — Validated.

AI/ML hiring engagement for a major financial services organization. 10 candidates assessed through proof-of-work technical evaluations, video knowledge checks, and AI-scored competency analysis.

Result: 20% of candidates flagged for skills fraud. Two strong hire recommendations delivered with full evidence packages. Time-to-confidence reduced from weeks of interviews to days of data.
