Carry your
vetted profile.
A V3 idea. Candidates re-do the same assessment for every company they apply to; the system forgets them between employers. Picked Verified is the idea that the candidate could carry their Picked-vetted profile with them, with consent, and skip the repetition. We are working through what it looks like.

What is in scope
What ships with this.
The problem we are trying to solve.
A senior engineer doing 30 applications in a quarter sits 30 assessments. The signal is the same; the friction is on the candidate. Picked Verified is an attempt to remove the friction without losing the signal.
Candidate-owned data.
The verified profile sits with the candidate, not with Picked. The candidate decides who can see it, for how long, and with what scope. Picked stores the assessment; the candidate holds the share key.
Employer consents to view.
The employer requests access to a verified profile; the candidate grants for that specific role or that specific firm; the access is logged, time-bounded, and revocable.
Fairness audit per employer-share-event.
Every employer who views a verified profile runs the 4/5ths fairness check against their own pipeline. A verified profile does not bypass the audit; it adds a row to it.
Recalibration over time.
A profile from 2027 is not the same signal in 2030. The verified profile carries a freshness signal; older assessments may need a refresh sitting before being shared.
Portability across regions.
A UK-resident candidate moving to the EU keeps their profile. Cross-region data transfer follows the same UK and EU adequacy regime Picked already operates under.
Why we are not shipping this yet
Candid about the constraint.
The constraint

A portable assessment profile is a category-defining feature with category-defining risks. The data model has to be candidate-owned in a way that survives the company being acquired or the company shutting down. The consent flow has to be revocable, granular, and auditable. The fairness implications of cross-employer scoring are still being worked through in the academic literature; we do not want to ship a portable profile that quietly entrenches a single employer's rubric across an industry.

What would have to be true

Picked Verified ships when the V1 and V2 surfaces have run long enough to produce a representative dataset, when the candidate-side product is mature enough to bear the consent and revocation flows, when we have an external advisory group (candidates, employers, academic researchers, regulators) reviewing the design, and when the legal posture across UK, EU, and US is settled. This is V3 in the master IA; no firm date.

The V1 alternative
What you can do today.

V1 has no portable profile. Every candidate runs the full assessment for every company. The cost is on the candidate; we know it. Until V3, the design choice is to keep the assessment fresh per-application and avoid the cross-employer risks above.

The candidate-experience page describes what V1 candidates get today: a 45-minute assessment, a structured signal in 48 hours including for non-advance candidates, the right to a human review, and full transparency on what the AI sees and does not see.
