The Problem

The Tools You’re Using Weren’t Built For This.

Reference checks correlate with future job performance at just 0.26 — barely better than a coin flip. This systemic gap creates immense friction in high-growth markets.

In Africa specifically, 40 to 60% of firms cite skills shortages as their top barrier to growth — not because talent does not exist, but because there is no reliable way to verify it before the offer letter.

We built the missing layer: proof of work, before you hire — not after.
