Provyn
AI-resistant skills verification

Verified skill,
not claimed skill.

CVs and take-home tests can't be trusted in the age of AI. Provyn verifies real ability through a proctored, time-boxed work sample — graded by AI and a named human expert — and issues a portable, cryptographically verifiable credential.

Launch domain: software & data engineering.

The hiring signal is broken. AI writes the CV, aces the take-home, and coaches the interview. So a great application no longer means a great engineer.

Provyn measures what someone can actually do — through a live, time-boxed work sample that's served and graded so it can't be gamed — and turns the result into a credential anyone can trust.

How it works

One assessment. Four steps. A credential you own forever.

Step 1

Take the work sample

A parameterised, time-boxed task in a real editor. The server holds the clock; every task instance differs.

Step 2

Process is recorded

Edit timing, pastes, and focus are captured as an integrity signal — never full keystrokes.

Step 3

AI + human grading

An AI first pass, then two independent named experts grade against a rubric and confirm or override.

Step 4

Get a credential

A signed, revocable credential with a score and competency profile — verifiable by anyone, forever.

Why it can be trusted

Trustworthy by design

Tasks are served and graded server-side, the timer is authoritative, and prompts are parameterised — so a credential means what it says.

Human-verified

Every result carries the names of the experts who reviewed it. Not a black-box score — accountable judgement.

Portable & verifiable

An Ed25519-signed credential with a public verify link. Employers confirm authenticity in one click, no login.

Success stories

Candidates get hired on proof. Teams hire with confidence.

I kept getting filtered out by keyword screens. My Provyn credential got me straight to a technical conversation — and an offer.

We cut take-home reviews entirely. The dossier — telemetry, AI pass, and two expert grades — tells us more than a CV ever did.

As a reviewer I see the candidate's real process, not just the final answer. Grading is faster and I trust the result.

Questions

What makes it “AI-resistant”?

The task is served and graded on our servers, the countdown is enforced server-side, and every candidate gets a slightly different, parameterised prompt — so answers can't be pre-generated or shared. We also record the work process (edit timing, pastes, focus) as an integrity signal.

Who actually grades my work?

An AI model does a first pass against the rubric, then two independent namedhuman experts grade the same submission and confirm or override it. The credential shows who reviewed it — it's accountable judgement, not a black-box score.

What's in a Provyn credential?

A 0–100 score and band, a per-competency breakdown, the names of the reviewing experts, and an Ed25519 digital signature. Anyone can open its verify link to confirm it's authentic and not revoked.

How do employers verify a credential?

Every credential has a public verify page that re-checks the signature on each visit and shows whether it's valid or revoked — no account needed.

What does it cost?

Candidates get verified for free. Employers browse verified candidates and unlock full evidence dossiers. (This is an early pilot — pricing and some integrations are still being finalised.)

Is my data used to train models?

Only if you opt in, and it never affects your result. Identity checks are kept separate from everything else and used solely to confirm who you are.
