The Problem

Your Workforce Is a Blind Spot

46% of business leaders cannot see the skills in their own workforce. 91% believe their employees are overstating their proficiency. Organisations are making workforce decisions blind.

Sources: Workday 2025, Skillsoft 2025

💸
Mis-hire & mismatch
High cost of capability gaps when skills are invisible at hire
🔍
Invisible internal talent
Organisations recruit externally for skills they already have
📋
Manual, disconnected reporting
Compliance teams manually stitch data from multiple disconnected systems
⚖
Regulatory exposure
New laws require structured workforce evidence most organisations cannot produce
👤
No individual ownership
Workers cannot own or carry their verified skills between employers — growth and development stays locked in siloed systems, invisible and non-portable

Workforce identity is not portable. It is not structured. It is not owned by the individual.

Solution

CareerID: One Portable Identity Layer

CareerID is a portable, consent-based professional identity layer — owned by the individual, used by employers. Verified skills data makes workforce AI decisions explainable, auditable, and regulation-ready.

Individual Owns their data CareerID Evidence-based · Consent-gated Explainable AI · Regulation-ready IDENTITY LAYER 🏢 Employer Trusted skills intelligence Regulation-ready reporting

One identity. Three consent-based views.

Public

The Missing Layer

CareerID doesn’t compete with HR systems or social networks. It’s the identity layer they all connect to.
