One line
CareerID is an early-career hiring platform where candidates are ranked by a proctored skill score generated from the job description, rather than by CGPA, resume keywords or referrals.
Boilerplate
CareerID is a hiring platform for early-career talent in India. Each job posting can carry a JD Score assessment generated from that job's own description — a proctored, four-layer test covering breadth, applied understanding, hands-on execution in real code and SQL, and scenario reasoning — producing a single score from 0 to 10. Employers review a ranked pipeline and interview shortlisted candidates inside the platform, using a built-in interview room with a code runner, SQL sandbox and shared whiteboard. No applicant is screened out on CGPA, college or resume keywords: shortlisting follows the score, and every applicant is told theirs. CareerID is free for candidates, and free for employers during early access.

How the JD Score test works
Each test is generated from the job description, proctored, and scored 0–10 across four layers. When results are released, applicants at or above the employer's cutoff, and inside an optional top-N shortlist, move to Shortlisted automatically, and every applicant is told their score.
L0 · Speed & Coverage20%
Timed rapid questions across every skill in the job description.
L1 · Understanding20%
Per-skill questions, including trap questions that catch memorised answers.
L2 · Execution30%
Hands-on work in the right tool for each skill: code run against tests, SQL on a database, a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and more.
L3 · Real-World Validation30%
Real-world scenarios where the candidate chooses an approach and defends it.
