Our Product · Skillsdex

You spent six weeks reading CVs.
Then you hired the wrong person.
Again.

Skillsdex is the AI layer that screens IT talent on what they actually do — Code, Prompt, Process — not on what their CV claims they did. Shortlists in 72 hours. Proof-of-work in the score. No more interview roulette.

— The hidden tax on tech hiring

CV-driven hiring
is broken. And expensive.

Every IT hire today costs you three months you didn't budget — and the math gets worse with AI. CVs say "AI-fluent" when they mean "I read a Medium post about ChatGPT." You only discover it 90 days in.

01

The cost of reading CVs

On a senior IT role, your hiring manager reads ~80 CVs to find 5 to interview. That's 12+ hours of senior time you'll never recover — for a process that hasn't told you a single thing about how the person actually codes.

02

The gap between "claims AI" and "uses AI"

30%+ of new IT code is now AI-generated. But CV self-declarations don't reveal whether a candidate prompts well, validates output, or just commits whatever Copilot suggests. The CV can't show the gap between AI-user and AI-operator.

03

The wrong hire stays for 18 months

When the screen misses, the cost compounds: 6-month ramp, lost roadmap velocity, severance, replacement search. One mishire on a senior tech role burns €100k+ in delivery cost — invisible until you measure it.

— The shift

Stop hiring on what they wrote.
Start hiring on what they ship.

Skillsdex replaces keyword-matching with evidence. Every candidate is screened on three axes that show actual operational ability with AI — not familiarity with vocabulary.

— The Skillsdex difference

Three axes.
One score that means something.

We don't ask "do you know Python." We measure how a developer interacts with AI in a real delivery context — across three axes that compound into a Technical Fit Score.

Axis 01

Code

The output. Architecture quality, test coverage, code health, maintainability. Not just "compiles". Whether the work survives a senior code review six months later.

  • Architecture review
  • Code-health metrics
  • Testing discipline
Axis 02

Prompt

How they collaborate with AI. The quality of their prompts, their iteration loop, their ability to refine output instead of accepting the first draft. The difference between AI-user and AI-operator.

  • Prompt construction
  • Iteration patterns
  • Output refinement
Axis 03

Process

How they decide. How they decompose a problem, what trade-offs they weigh, when they push back on AI suggestions with critical judgement. Decision-making is where mediocre engineers fail.

  • Problem decomposition
  • Trade-off analysis
  • Critical thinking on AI output
— What happens when you use Skillsdex

From open role
to validated shortlist in 72h.

The flow you walk every time you hire — without the cost of doing it manually.

01
You drop in a JD.

Text, PDF, link to a careers page — whatever you have. Skillsdex parses the role, normalises the required skills against the Skill Matrix (300+ skills mapped on ESCO/WEF), and identifies what's must-have vs nice-to-have.

Time
~2 minutes
What you get
Structured JD with prioritised skill list — ready to match against any talent pool.
02
Skillsdex finds candidates.

Across your internal pool + sourcing connectors, Skillsdex returns the top N candidates with an explainable score 0–100: which skills they cover, which they don't, what the AI Readiness Index says about their AI-operator ability.

Time
Under 1 hour
What you get
Top-N candidate list with explainable Technical Fit Score — not a black-box ranking.
03
They get assessed — optionally.

For T&M staffing the assessment is opt-in (default off) so you don't lose deals to friction. For enterprise HR the Test Engine is core: live coding sandbox, situational simulations, file-upload challenges. Skill Inference updates the Skill Matrix automatically.

Time
24–48h per candidate
What you get
Score per skill with evidence (video, log, timing) — Skill Matrix updated.
04
You send the shortlist.

One click generates the Plugin CV B.A. — an anonymised CV in under 30 seconds. Name → initial, employer → "Series B fintech", dates → month-year. No email, no photo, no traceable detail. PDF branded with your template, ready to send to the client.

Time
Under 30 seconds
What you get
Anonymised branded PDF · untraceability check passed · ready to send.
05
After the hire — the loop closes.

Once hired, the Skill Matrix continues to update from real platform usage. AI Readiness Index tracks how the new hire actually operates with AI. Skill gaps trigger course recommendations or AI-generated learning content — published as new modules in your LMS.

Time
Continuous
What you get
Living Skill Matrix · gap closure on autopilot · AI Readiness Index over time.
— What you walk away with

Not a CV.
An evidence pack.

Three concrete artefacts per candidate. Designed to make the hire/no-hire decision in under five minutes.

Artefact 01

Technical Fit Score

0–100 with full transparency: which skills are covered, which gaps remain, why this candidate scores 87 vs 71. Defensible to a hiring committee, not just a magic number.

Artefact 02

Anonymised CV (CV B.A.)

Generated in <30s. Anonymity-checked: no name, no email, no employer, no photo. Branded PDF ready to be sent to a client — solves the disintermediation risk in staffing.

Artefact 03

AI Readiness Index

A 0–100 score of digital and AI literacy that updates over time. Tells you not just "can they code" but "will they ship AI-augmented code that doesn't rot in 90 days."
