Every candidate receives $100 for completing a short mission tied directly to the role.

Transparent evaluation

You approve the mission and rubric before candidates begin, so the comparison stays auditable.

Humans remain responsible

AI organizes job-relevant evidence; human review checks quality, and employers make every decision.

One role. One mission. Clearer evidence.

A concierge pilot from shortlist to finalist report.

01 / Design the evidence

We turn a real role into a focused work mission.

You bring the role and up to six shortlisted candidates. DayOne creates the candidate brief, practical task, submission format, and transparent rubric—then gets your approval before launch.

Candidates: get paid to prove what you can do.

Participation is free. Completion reward: $100.

02 / Run the mission

A short, consistent experience.

Candidates complete the same compensated, role-relevant assignment against the same employer-approved criteria.

03 / Compare the work

Receive an auditable finalist report.

AI organizes evidence, human quality review checks the output, and your team makes the final call.

What DayOne AI will never do

Infer personality, emotion, biometrics, health information, protected characteristics, or “culture fit.” It does not guarantee a perfect hire or replace employer judgment.
