Technical hiring, backed by independently sourced verification.

Proxy interviewing and AI-assisted answers are quietly breaking technical hiring. Techie Passport gives IT professionals one portable profile showing identity, certification, skill, and employment checks — each labeled with its verification source and date.

the problem

Resumes and interviews are being gamed faster than hiring teams can catch it.

In technical hiring, a growing share of interviews aren't being taken by the candidate on the resume at all — a more skilled proxy sits in, or answers arrive fed from an AI tool off-screen, in real time. By the time it surfaces, the hire has already been made, trust with the hiring team is already damaged, and the honest candidates competing fairly are the ones who lose the seat.

  • Proxy interviewingA different, more qualified person appears on camera or on the call in place of the actual candidate.
  • AI-assisted answersTechnical questions get answered from an off-screen model in real time, undetectable on a standard call.
  • Self-reported everythingCertifications, past roles, and skills are typically taken at face value with no independent check.
how a passport is built

Four verification layers, each sourced and dated.

1

Identity

Government ID matched to the candidate through a live liveness check — the person applying is the person interviewing.

Does not certify skill or character — identity only.
2

Certification

Claimed certifications are checked against the issuing body’s available verification source whenever possible.

Confirms the credential exists — not that it's current knowledge.
3

Skill

A live, camera-on interview using structured "why" and trade-off follow-ups — the strongest low-cost defense against fed or memorized answers.

A point-in-time assessment, not a guarantee of on-the-job performance.
4

Employment

An independent, non-HR reference confirms role and tenure — not just what's written on the resume.

Confirms tenure and title — not performance or conduct.
