Screening is only the floor
AI and CVs confirm that skills and experience match the job description. That is where hiring starts, not where it is decided.
For companies and partners
See how they actually work, before you hire.
A CV and an AI screen tell you whether the skills match. They cannot tell you how someone thinks, how they handle ambiguity, or whether they fit your team. Arete shows you the work itself.
The signal problem
A CV tells you what they did. Not how they work.
A CV cannot show fit
Credentials do not tell you whether someone suits your team, your culture and the way this specific role actually works.
The real questions come too late
How a candidate prioritises, handles ambiguity, responds to feedback and communicates: you usually only find out after you have hired.
What Arete shows you
Judge the working style, not just the output.
A CV shows what a candidate claims. Arete shows how they actually approach the work, so you can read judgement, working style and fit before the first interview.
- How they structure an unclear, open-ended problem
- What they choose to prioritise, and why
- How they respond to feedback and revise their work
- How they adapt when the requirements change
- How clearly they communicate their decisions
- Whether their approach fits how your team works
Ways to partner
Meet talent through real work.
Partner projects
Give candidates a real problem from your team. You see the output and, just as importantly, how they got there: the way they think, prioritise and decide, and where their real strengths lie.
Sponsor a hackathon
Students build and defend their own projects for the field you hire in, not a brief you set. You meet a pool of motivated talent and see how each one thinks and works, judged by practitioners, with proof profiles you can review.
Talent signal
Access proof profiles that explain candidates through their work, reasoning and working style, not just a list of skills.
Arete gives you stronger signal on emerging talent and fit, not a promise of hiring outcomes.
