Verified hiring
A short simulation of real work, answered in your own words. Not a quiz, not a personality test, no trick questions.
Free. No account. Scored against reviewed criteria.
The research
Selection research has ranked the hiring signals for decades. A sample of the actual work says more about future performance than the years and titles a résumé lists.
The science
Predictive validity, across two major meta-analyses shown together. The longer the bar, the better that signal predicts real job performance.
Scale 0 to 0.6
The 2022 revision (Sackett et al.) lowered most estimates across the board, including credential-based methods — but the gap between demonstrated work and claimed credentials holds under both analyses.
Simulations decide who gets interviewed; structured interviews decide who gets hired. Luminid replaces resume screening, not the interview.
| Selection method | Predictive validity coefficient |
|---|---|
| Work sample tests | 0.33–0.54 |
| Structured interviews | 0.42–0.51 |
| Years of experience | 0.18 |
| Years of education | 0.10 |
How it works
A short simulation of real work, answered in your own words. Not a quiz, not a personality test, no trick questions.
An automated system scores your response against reviewed criteria at a fixed threshold, and your own words are quoted back as the evidence.
It lives on your profile, on your exported résumé, in a QR code, and behind a link. Anyone can check it in thirty seconds.
Nothing wasted
The work you do while applying is not spent on one company. It joins your Work Record and stays yours.
A skill you verify during an application stays on your Record even when the answer is no.
A verification is worth the same wherever you earned it. Every company on Luminid sees it at full weight.
Each application can leave your Record stronger than it found it. The next one starts further ahead.
Never left in the dark
You never wonder where you stand. Every application on Luminid ends in a decision or an honest, explained close. It never just goes quiet.
A company either decides on your application or closes it with a reason. Silence is not one of the options here.
How often a company decides, and how fast, is published on its page. The promise comes with receipts.
What you earn
Every verification is a public card a stranger can read in one screen. The claim is narrow on purpose, and the evidence is quoted from your own work.
The format is part of the proof. See how the card reads for each one.

For job seekers
Prove a skill in about twenty minutes and own the proof forever. No pedigree filters, no keyword games, and your accent never takes the test. Your work makes the case.
For employers
Applications arrive with verified skills and quoted evidence, so your team reads real work instead of claims, on assessments built to be audited, not just believed. Interviews go to the human questions.
From the founder
I spent seven years in recruiting, including Amazon and Grupo Bimbo. The pattern never changed. Capable people were filtered out on paper, and confident writers got through. The résumé measures how well you describe work. It should measure the work.
Luminid is early, and we say so plainly. Judge us on the methodology, which is published in the open, and on the credentials themselves. Every one of them can be checked.

Questions
Exactly this. Demonstrated this skill in a work sample, scored against reviewed criteria, at a fixed threshold, with quoted evidence. It never means qualified, vetted, or ready for a role, and it never predicts job performance. The claim stays narrow so it stays true.
An automated system scores each response against documented criteria, and the methodology is published in the open. The score arrives with your own words quoted as evidence. If you believe a score is wrong, you can request a human review.
Proving skills is free for job seekers, and the practice check on this page needs no account. Employers pay for hiring tools, and the pricing is public.
Every verification has a code and a public page. Enter the code at luminid.org/verify or scan the QR on an exported résumé. The check takes about thirty seconds and shows the skill, the format, the date, and the holder.
Nothing public. A run below the threshold never appears on your profile and is never called a verification. Practice results are always labeled practice.
