Grounded Hire

For engineers

No referral? Let the work introduce you.

Hiring teams buried in polished applications lean on referrals. Grounded Hire gives you one page that shows the evidence behind your resume, claim by claim, so your work can do what a referral does.

Free. Private until you publish it. Delete everything in one step.

Referrals are 1% of applications, yet 40% of referred candidates reach interview.

How it works

Three steps, a few minutes.

01

Upload your resume

Grounded Hire reads each claim and looks for the public work that shows it: your repositories and commit history, packages, papers, apps and certificates.

02

Close the gaps

Every claim without evidence comes with the one thing that would add some. Your Credly or Microsoft Learn link, the repository, your GitHub account.

03

Share one link

Publish the page and put the link on your CV, LinkedIn and applications. It always shows your latest checks, and you can take it down at any time.

What it is not

Evidence, and nothing dressed up as more.

Most work happens inside companies and never becomes public. A claim without public evidence is normal, and the page says so to everyone who reads it.

Not a score

No number, no rating, no pass mark. Each claim sits beside what could be found for it, and the reader decides what it means.

Not a badge

The page never says verified or approved. It shows evidence, with a link to every piece of it, so nothing has to be taken on trust.

Not public until you say so

Your page is private until you publish it. Your email address is never on it, and neither is anyone who vouched for you.

Show the work behind the words.

Upload your resume and see which claims public evidence already backs. It is free, and nothing is public until you publish it.
