Workzo
A proof-of-work hiring platform that helps recruiters hire reliable developers with measurable signals.
Workzo was built for a modern hiring problem: resumes are now easy to polish with AI, but they often give recruiters very little real-world developer signal. The platform helps companies hire developers through proof-of-work data by combining LeetCode profile strength, GitHub activity, ATS resume quality, and an overall Workzo score into quantifiable metrics recruiters can compare with confidence.

The Challenge
What the client needed to solve
Recruiters were being asked to screen developer candidates from resumes that could look polished without proving much. AI-written resumes made the problem worse: keyword-heavy applications created noise, while actual developer ability was scattered across coding profiles, GitHub activity, past work, and resume quality. Workzo needed to turn those scattered proof points into a hiring workflow that reduces guesswork and helps recruiters identify reliable developers faster.
Our Approach
How we solved it
We positioned Workzo around proof-of-work hiring. Instead of treating the resume as the main source of truth, the product brings together a candidate's LeetCode profile, GitHub profile, ATS resume score, and overall Workzo score. Recruiters get quantified candidate signals for screening and shortlisting, while job seekers can understand how competitive they are for a role before spending time applying.
What We Built
What changed in the product
Proof-of-work candidate profiles
We created developer profiles that go beyond resume text and bring practical work signals into one place for recruiters to review.
LeetCode and GitHub scoring
We shaped the review experience around coding practice and real project activity so recruiters can evaluate candidates using stronger technical evidence.
ATS resume matching
Candidates can check how well their resume matches a specific job before applying, helping them avoid roles where they are unlikely to be competitive.
Overall Workzo score
We made candidate comparison easier by consolidating multiple proof signals into one overall score that supports faster recruiter decisions.
Recruiter screening workflow
Recruiters can screen applicants with quantifiable metrics instead of relying only on keywords, reducing review time and improving shortlist quality.
Outcome
Results
Workzo now communicates a clearer solution to the hiring market: reliable developer hiring through proof of work. Recruiters can reduce hiring time, screen stronger candidates, and compare applicants using measurable developer signals. Candidates also benefit by seeing their ATS fit for specific jobs before applying, so they can focus their effort on roles where they have a better chance.
