Potential
Signals may include learning speed, initiative, adaptability and how a candidate responds to unfamiliar work.
Assessment method
Look beyond the CV without ignoring evidence.
A CV provides context. Hire42 also looks at how someone learns, frames problems, uses modern tools and turns responsibility into an observable result.How does Hire42 assess talent?
Hire42 uses human review across four practical dimensions: potential, build evidence, AI fluency and problem solving. The evidence available varies by candidate and role, so this is a review framework—not a standardized test.
Build evidence
Projects, prototypes, case studies, repositories and documented experiments help show what the candidate actually contributed.
AI fluency
Tool familiarity matters when it improves reasoning, production or workflow design. A long tool list alone is not evidence of capability.
Problem solving
Hire42 looks for problem understanding, decomposition, decisions, communication and follow-through.
