HIRING VALIDATION · GOVERNED PROTOCOL

Prove it.
Don't pitch it.

Résumés and interviews are theater. Pairpath runs candidates through structured, AI-orchestrated work evaluations — so you hire on evidence, not eloquence.

Exhibit A — The Problem

Every résumé is a pitch deck. You keep funding the pitch.

Credentials are claims. Interviews reward rehearsal. The only thing that predicts how someone performs in the role is how they perform in the role — so that's what Pairpath measures.

WHAT THE RÉSUMÉ SAYS
WHAT PAIRPATH RECORDS
"Expert in distributed systems."

EVAL-72H ▸ designed queue backpressure under live fault injection · recovery p95 −38%

"Thrives in ambiguity."

OBSERVED ▸ took an unowned migration from zero context to scoped plan, tradeoffs, and delivery

"Strong communicator."

LOGGED ▸ 14 review threads · clear rationale on every decision · zero churn loops

"Moves fast, ships quality."

MEASURED ▸ 3 features shipped in evaluation window · 0 rollbacks · tests written first

Exhibit B — The Protocol

Four agents. One governed evaluation. Zero vibes.

Pick a role and run it. This is the same orchestration that governs every Pairpath evaluation period — live, structured, and auditable end to end.

Technical Screener

Scores real work artifacts against the role's skill graph — not keyword bingo.

Behavioral Assessor

Reads how the candidate works: communication, judgment, follow-through under load.

Role-Fit Evaluator

Semantic match between demonstrated skills and what this role actually demands.

Scoring & Calibration

Normalizes every signal across candidates so verdicts are comparable and fair.

[idle] ORCHESTRATOR standing by. Select a role and press Run evaluation.

This verdict took 90 seconds. Yours run over real evaluation periods.

Exhibit C — The Math

One mis-hire funds Pairpath for years.

Drag the slider to the salary of your next engineering hire. The numbers do the pitching — which is fitting, because we won't.

$160,000/ YEAR

Mis-hire cost modeled at 30% of first-year earnings (U.S. Dept. of Labor estimate) — before counting lost roadmap time, team drag, and the re-hire itself.

Cost of one mis-hire $48,000
Pairpath Team plan $950 /mo
Months covered by avoiding it 50
Avoid one bad hire at this salary and Pairpath pays for itself for 50 months.

Procedure — Four Stages

From open role to evidence-backed offer.

STAGE 1

Define

Encode what the role actually demands. Pairpath builds the skill graph and evaluation rubric with you.

STAGE 2

Match

Semantic skill matching surfaces candidates whose demonstrated work fits — not whose résumé ranks.

STAGE 3

Evaluate

Candidates complete a structured, paid evaluation period. Four agents observe, score, and calibrate.

STAGE 4

Decide

You get a verdict with the receipts attached: scores, artifacts, and the full audit trail behind them.

The Terms

Subscribe monthly. Cancel the moment we stop earning it.

No annual lock-in, no per-hire success fees. A flat monthly rate that costs less than one week of a mis-hire.

ALL PLANS: MONTHLY BILLING · CANCEL ANYTIME · EVALUATION STIPENDS BILLED AT COST

Do candidates actually agree to evaluation periods?

Yes — the strong ones prefer it. Evaluations are scoped, time-boxed, and paid, and candidates keep a portable evidence record either way. The people who object most are the ones whose résumés were doing the heavy lifting.

How is this different from take-home tests?

Take-homes are one artifact, graded by a tired human, with no calibration across candidates. Pairpath runs a governed protocol: four specialized agents score real work over a structured period, and every verdict is normalized so candidates are comparable.

What does "governed" mean in practice?

Every evaluation follows the same rubric, the same stages, and produces the same auditable record. You can open any verdict and see exactly which evidence produced which score. No black box, no gut feel laundered through software.

Can I really cancel anytime?

Yes. Billing is month to month and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current cycle. Active evaluations run to completion so candidates are never left hanging.
