Proof-of-Skill builds a hiring and job-search platform designed to verify candidates' actual abilities rather than the claims on a CV. The company's stated aim is to create infrastructure that gives skills, work history and education a credit score employers can trust, in a hiring market increasingly affected by AI-generated resumes, assignments and fabricated evidence. Its verification combines observed work sessions, identity and education checks, reference-confirmed experience, expert validation and AI-assisted analysis.
The technical work spans several domains: AI agents, AI-assisted candidate assessment, workflow and decision analysis, identity and education verification, skills assessment and verification, and hiring workflow automation. Three products make up the offering. The Proof-of-Skill Platform serves both employers and candidates, letting employers source and assess candidates, coordinate interviews and consolidate hiring workflows into a single system in place of several disconnected recruiting tools.
Alongside it, Yoshi is an AI agent that evaluates candidates' workflows, decisions, prompts and trade-offs, then helps recruiters determine who is worth interviewing and which questions matter. Proof CV is a candidate-facing record linking verified identity, education, work history, demonstrated skills and Proof-of-Work, which candidates can share directly with recruiters and AI hiring agents.
The company operates in the recruiting and hiring, HR technology, employment and workforce, and staffing sectors, and is backed by Antler, Advancit Capital and Reflexive.
