AI assists. Your team decides.
ProofHire organizes the evidence for review. Hiring decisions remain with the people responsible for the role.
Inside WorkSim
Candidates respond inside a realistic workplace scenario.
Each scene introduces context, stakeholder pressure, and a decision. ProofHire captures the candidate's reasoning before moving to the next stage.
Evaluation reports
Every assessment generates a structured hiring brief.
Scores, dimension breakdowns, AI-generated probe questions, and evidence excerpts — ready before you schedule the interview.

Signals to review
Highlight
"I'd escalate this now — the 8% error rate in EUR conversions is enterprise-critical and waiting will cost us more goodwill than a 24-hour delay."
Risk signal
"I'll just accept the risk and ship. Customers rarely notice a 1-day discrepancy."
AI-generated probe questions
In the currency-conversion scenario, you prioritized speed over evidence. Walk me through the tradeoffs you were weighing at that moment.
Your stakeholder update in Step 2 was clear but omitted the risk timeline. How do you typically calibrate how much uncertainty to share with leadership?
Signal score
6.3/10
Extremely sparse resume with one massive claim about building trillion-dollar infrastructure but zero technical details or team context to verify actual contribution.
Breakdown
Things to ask about
- No technical specifics for claimed trillion-dollar infrastructure
- Missing co-founder context and role division with John
- Education timeline is impressive but not connected to engineering execution
Probe questions
"You claim Stripe processes over $1 trillion annually. Walk me through the specific technical architecture decisions you personally made in the early days."
"As co-founder, describe the most difficult conversation you had with your brother John about dividing responsibilities in the first two years."

How it works
One workflow for hiring and training.
Describe what you need
Tell the chat what you want to see someone handle, for an interview or for practice, or start from a template. Add a job description, resume or ATS job if you have one; none is required.
Confirm and refine
ProofHire reads back what it understood. Correct anything, add details, and review the simulation before anyone sees it.
Share it
Send candidates one clean link, or assign it to learners in a training program. Everyone reviews consent and retention choices before they start.
Review the evidence
Use transcripts, reasoning, scores, and practical work to decide who deserves the next conversation, or to coach learners, who also see their own feedback.
Candidate trust
Clear choices before recording starts.
Candidates see what the assessment is for, how responses are reviewed, and whether the hiring team may retain audio or only the transcript.
Explicit consent
Candidates confirm consent before beginning the assessment.
Transcript-only option
Candidates can choose to remove stored audio after processing.
Human review
AI-generated analysis supports review and is not the hiring verdict.
Workspace access
Hiring teams review shared candidate evidence inside their workspace.

FAQ
Common questions
What is a WorkSim?
A role-specific work simulation. Participants work through realistic scenarios and a practical task, making decisions and explaining their reasoning, so you see how they handle the work rather than how they describe it.
Can I use it for training as well as hiring?
Yes. Use a simulation as an interview for candidates, or assign it to learners in a training program. Learners practice with coaching and see their own feedback.
How is a WorkSim different from a Voice Screen?
A Voice Screen asks targeted questions built from a job description and resume, and candidates answer by voice. A WorkSim puts people in a realistic situation with decisions and a practical task. Both are completed asynchronously, without scheduling a call.
Do I need a job description to create one?
No. Describe what you want to see someone handle, or start from a template. A job description or resume is optional and only adds context.
What does the hiring team receive?
A structured report with scores, dimension breakdowns, AI-generated probe questions and evidence excerpts, along with transcripts and the practical work, ready before you schedule the interview.
Does AI make the hiring decision?
No. AI organizes the evidence for review. Hiring decisions stay with the people responsible for the role.
What do candidates agree to before they start?
Candidates confirm consent before beginning and see how their responses are reviewed. They can choose a transcript-only option, which removes stored audio after processing.
How much does it cost?
You can start with 1 free WorkSim, no credit card required. Paid plans are $29, $79 and $149 per month, with the monthly quotas shown in Pricing.
