← The Talent Index·Proof

Evidence over pedigree.

The résumé is the claim.
The test is the proof.

A résumé says “expert.” We started testing the claim — skill-assessing engineers who had already cleared the paper screen. This is what the evidence shows.


The figure publishes once the evidence clears the bar.

We only publish a rate once the verified sample is large enough to be honest, and once the framing has cleared review. Until then, here is the live market the Proof Report is built on.

The live market behind it

Tracking 27,327 live postings across 12 countries — the same real signals that feed every verified assessment.

Why proof beats pedigree

A résumé was never proof. It is a claim — written by the candidate, optimised for the screen, and impossible to verify by reading it.

So we stopped reading and started testing. Every engineer who reaches a shortlist has already proven the skill under assessment, not just described it.

That is the whole idea behind diiirect: you see the proof before you see the person. No middle, no guessing — the top 1%, verified.

Hire the proven ones.

You have seen how hard the skill is to prove. Now reach the people who proved it.
