Hi, In interviews I kept seeing inflated CVs so figured there must be a way to back up some claims before an interview. That's essentially what a CV is, a bunch of claims, the role, the company, the projects. The reader has to take your word for it, and AI now writes a convincing one in a minute and honest candidates pay for that. Their CV reads the same as the inflated ones, so it gets the same doubt. So then I thought what if we had some hard validation to the claims on a CV or portfolio. That's when I came up with the idea of Workproof. For starters, you prove that you had access to a domain or work email, it doesn't prove you built it, but it does prove somebody trusted you enough with access to that domain or have given you a work email, so that by itself is a good baseline. Additionally, you can ask colleagues to give you feedback, as a reference, signed by them from an work email. Something like LinkedIn endorsements, but more portable. I'd love your honest take, on two things most of all: - If you hire: would a link like this on a CV or a proposal change anything for you? - If you freelance or build: which of those would you want first, or what else should Workproof check? Thanks for taking the time!   submitted by   /u/Draken33 [link]   [comments]
