Hire on evidence, not gut feel
Published Wednesday, June 24, 2026
Verdict turns hiring decisions into evidence. Most hiring still comes down to gut feel: two finalists and no one agrees why one is better, fifty CVs screened by keyword, a promotion justified with "I've known them for years." None of it leaves a record you can defend. Verdict is an AI evaluation tool that fixes that. Upload two CVs and the job description for a head-to-head verdict on who to hire, rank a shortlist of up to 50 candidates, or validate a promotion. Every candidate is scored across six dimensions — capability, track record, trajectory, influence, domain edge, and risk — and every point is backed by a verbatim quote from their CV. You see not just the score, but exactly why. Three things set it apart from an ATS keyword score or a black-box AI screener: • Evidence, not opinion. A blind synthesis (names removed, order randomized) reasons against a fixed rubric and cites the CV directly. Built to reduce bias — never claimed to eliminate it. • Defensible by design. Record your decision and Verdict generates a tamper-evident report — rubric, reasoning, and audit trail — that HR and legal can stand behind. • It learns your bar. Calibrate it on your past hires and their outcomes, and the verdict weighs what actually worked at your company. It's self-serve: try the demo, sign up for free credits, and pay one credit per candidate. No onboarding, no sales calls. Hire on evidence. Put it in writing.
