Evidence.

Students prove their skills with real work. Employers get a shortlist of up to five matched candidates, each with the evidence behind them. No names on the shortlist until the student says yes.

On a shortlist, a candidate stays anonymous until they confirm an interview. The reveal opens with their pitch video.

How PitchMe works

A new standard for early-career hiring

  1. 1. Students build evidence

    Skills become claims. A claim counts only when it is assessed, or corroborated by someone who saw the work alongside other evidence. Everything else is shown for what it is: linked to a source, self-declared, or without evidence yet.

  2. 2. Agents build a shortlist

    Employers set a role's requirements once. From students who asked to be put forward, agents build an anonymous shortlist of up to five candidates, each with a memo that cites the evidence.

  3. 3. Humans decide

    Recruiters read the memo and request an interview. A candidate's identity is revealed only after they confirm, starting with their pitch video. Every hiring decision stays with a person.

    No evidence attached yet. The memo says so.

Evidence memos

Every shortlisted candidate comes with an evidence memo.

Each requirement on your role maps to a candidate claim, its citations, and the state of the evidence behind it. Gaps are stated plainly — a candidate missing something is told to you straight, never hidden behind a number.

For students

Show proof,
not polish.

One profile: your claims and the evidence behind each one. On a shortlist you stay anonymous until you confirm an interview. You keep a record of every shortlist you are put on, with the memo the recruiter reads.

For recruiters

Read the evidence
before you meet anyone.

Hiring, with receipts.

Up to five candidates per role, each with a memo you can audit line by line, showing which claims the evidence backs. Unordered, and anonymous until the candidate confirms an interview.

Who sees your name, and when
  • In Discover, a recruiter can see your profile with your name only if you are open to work and have an active pitch video — Discover is the video feed.
  • On a role's Candidates tab, a recruiter sees your profile with your name if you're open to work and overlap the role; no pitch video is needed there.
  • Applying to a job directly shares your name with that employer.

Start with the evidence.

Students build a profile of checked claims. Employers set a role’s requirements and receive anonymous shortlists.
