Proof layer for hiring.
Prove you can lead AI transformation without a single bullet point. Spend your time answering a real-world business challenge from companies rebuilding their work with AI, not rewriting a resume nobody reads. Hiring managers see what you build, watch how you think, and read an objective score. Your Provn Profile is the proof. The resume is dead.
Are you a builder?
You know the customer. You know how the work gets done. You run three or four AI tools a day without thinking about it, and you use them to do what used to take a team a quarter. Some weeks that's product. Some weeks design. Some weeks you ship the code yourself. That's a builder. Your Provn Profile is where you prove it.Create Your Free ProfileHiring builders?
Time to hire keeps climbing. Interview loops keep growing. You get five to ten times more resumes and they all read the same, because AI wrote them. The job itself changed too. You're hiring for work AI transformed, and your job description still describes the old role. You don't want another pile of applicants. You want to see what a candidate built, watch how they think with AI, and read a score you can trust. Then you talk.See How It Works231 applicants. 10 builders worth interviewing. 10 days.
Brilliant Earth needed an AI Product Strategist. 231 people applied. Provn surfaced 10 interview-ready builders in 10 days, with zero phone screens. The Profiles replaced the HR screen entirely. Brilliant Earth hired Alexandrea R., who beat product managers from Microsoft and Meta. The hiring SVP put it plainly:
“I feel like I know you already.”

Frequently asked questions
What is Provn?
Provn is where builders prove what they can do with AI. The resume stopped carrying signal. AI writes them now, they all read alike, and a hiring manager can't tell who is good or who is even a person. A Provn Application replaces the guesswork. A builder takes on a challenge drawn from what companies are hiring against, records a video walkthrough of that thinking, and gets an objective score with specific feedback inside 48 hours. All of it builds a Provn Profile, a portfolio the builder owns, grows, and sends with every application. The resume is dead. The Profile is what replaces it.
How does Provn work for builders?
Provn curates challenge prompts by occupation and role, alongside prompts attached to specific open jobs. A builder builds something in response and records a walkthrough. Both save to the Profile. Every completed submission is reviewed by the Provn team, humans, and comes back with feedback. Apply to a job and that work is packaged and curated for the hiring manager. The Profile gets built once and reused on as many roles as a builder wants.
How does Provn work for employers?
Employers start with a short call with Provn's founder, Nikesh Parekh. He maps a challenge to one role the company is hiring for right now. Candidates complete it, record video walkthroughs, and arrive as a scored shortlist. Brilliant Earth went from 231 applicants to 10 interview-ready candidates in 10 days, with zero phone screens. The For Employers page is where to book.
Is Provn free?
Builders get started free. A free account opens the Proving Ground community, saves completed challenge prompts to a Provn Profile, and submits Provn Applications to open roles, all at no cost. Premium services like interview coaching and AI mentorship are coming soon.
Do I still need a resume?
A resume is still required, and it's uploaded once. Provn absorbs the parts that matter, employment history, education, and certifications, and uses them to populate the Profile. Employers receive it with every application. What changes is how much it has to carry. Instead of evenings spent reframing old job history so it reads as AI-fluent, those hours go toward answering a question a company is trying to solve. The proof leads. The resume rides along.
Do I have to be looking for a job to be here?
No. Job searchers use Provn, and so do people sharpening a skill, moving into a new kind of work, or competing for its own sake. A builder can solve a hard business question, iterate on it with other builders, and share the Profile wherever it helps, at a current employer, or in the interview taken next year.
Is the Proving Ground live today?
The Proving Ground is live, with improvements shipping every month. A free account starts saving work inspired by the catalog of challenge prompts, each one written with a partner company or drawn from a business case common across industries. Archetype challenges for the roles AI has changed most are being added, written at four levels, so a builder starts where they are and works up. The AI Talent Draft arrives this fall.
What is the Talent Draft?
The AI Talent Draft is a Provn competition for builders using AI. Builders take on challenges from businesses transforming their industry, and the work climbs a leaderboard by discipline. Cash prizes go to the top of each one, and visibility goes to everyone who competes, because employers hiring on Provn start at the top of the board. Whatever gets built stays in the Profile afterward. The first AI Talent Draft is this fall.
Does Provn sell my data?
No. A Provn Profile is the property of the builder who owns it. Provn does not sell the IP or data in a Profile to any third-party company or vendor.
Why do so many job applications never get a response?
Applying has never been easier, and that is the problem. AI tailors a resume to any job description in seconds, so hiring managers open piles of near-identical, high-match resumes they can't tell apart or trust. Sending more only feeds the pile. A Provn Application breaks out of it by presenting the solution a builder produced and the thinking behind it. That is what earns a second look.
How can employers tell if an applicant is a real person?
Fake candidates, hidden fronts, and deepfakes make up a growing share of the resumes employers receive, and most applications offer no reliable way to tell. The Provn team screens them out of live searches every week. Provn works like a spam filter for hiring. Every builder is a verified person who proved their skills on a challenge prompt and recorded a walkthrough of how they built it, so employers meet the person behind the work before scheduling an interview.
