Résumés
A résumé is a claim, not a demonstration. It tells you where someone has been — never what they can actually do.

Human Capability Intelligence
The future of hiring isn’t interviews. It’s demonstrated capability.
Watch candidates do the real job before you make the hire.
From résumé, interview and best guess — to real work, evidence and a confident decision.
The problem
Hiring still runs on inference.
Every tool in the traditional process asks you to guess what someone can do. None of them let you watch.
Interviews
Interviews reward confidence and rehearsal. The best talkers are not reliably the best hires.
Measures answers, not work
Traditional Assessments
Abstract puzzles measure test-taking under pressure. The job is not a puzzle.
