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.
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.
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.
