Hire on proven skill, not resumes

SkillJudge scores real work product against a transparent rubric and shows the evidence behind every grade, so your shortlist is fast and defensible.

  • One scorecard, any role

    Engineering, sales, data, support, product. Score every candidate against a consistent, transparent rubric instead of juggling five different tools.

  • Every score shows its work

    No black box. Each sub-score links to the exact evidence in the candidate submission, so you can defend the decision to any hiring manager.

  • A ranked shortlist, not a pile of CVs

    Candidates come back ranked with overall grades and per-skill breakdowns. Open the top three, skip the noise.

  • AI scores, you decide

    SkillJudge does the heavy evaluation; the final judgment stays with your team. Override any score with one click.

A consistent, evidence-linked scorecard across every role you hire for.

The candidate scorecard

A score you can defend, with the evidence attached

The number one objection to AI scoring is "can I trust it?" SkillJudge answers it visually: every sub-score links to the exact evidence in the work, and your team makes the final call.

How it works

How to assess candidate skills in three steps

From sending an assessment to an explainable shortlist, SkillJudge runs the whole evaluation loop. No test-building, no take-home review marathon.

  1. Step 1

    Send the assessment

    Pick a role and send a short skills-based challenge or structured interview. Candidates complete it in their own time.

  2. Step 2

    AI scores against a rubric

    SkillJudge evaluates every submission on the skills that matter and grades each one red, amber or green.

  3. Step 3

    Get an explainable shortlist

    Open a ranked scorecard with overall grades, per-skill sub-scores and evidence-linked rationale. Decide with confidence.

Inside the rubric

What a sub-score actually means

Every competency is graded against written criteria that are fixed before the first submission arrives. Here is the scale each sub-score uses, so nothing about the grade is a mystery.

  • Strong

    The requirement is met in full, with the approach visible in the work: edge cases handled, decisions justified, and nothing left for the reader to assume. Scores in this band clear the bar on their own.

  • Mixed

    The core requirement is met but something material is thin: a missing case, an unexplained shortcut, or a solution that works without showing why. Worth an interview question, not a rejection.

  • Weak

    The requirement is not met, or is met in a way that would not survive contact with the real job. The rationale names the specific gap rather than reporting a low number.

The same three bands apply to every candidate for a role, on every competency.
