WorkTrial AI has introduced a groundbreaking hiring platform that replaces traditional resumes, interviews, and theoretical tests with real-work simulations. Combining a real-work simulation environment, a multi-dimensional Signal Engine, and an AI-powered evaluation layer, the platform offers a seamless experience, enabling companies to evaluate candidates' actual performance in real time before hiring decisions.

  • WorkTrial AI launches a hiring platform using real-work trials to assess candidates' performance.

  • The proprietary Signal Engine captures actions like commits and collaboration for detailed insights.

  • AI-powered rubrics generate role-specific scores for technical ability, problem-solving, and communication.

  • Platform replicates proven trial-based hiring models from companies like Linear and PostHog.

  • Employers gain evidence-based reports for faster, fairer hiring with improved retention.

  • Candidates receive paid trials, transparent feedback, and a traceable work record.

Revolutionizing Hiring with Real-Work Simulations

WorkTrial AI transforms recruitment by placing candidates in real working environments using tools like GitHub, Notion, and Slack. Candidates tackle role-specific projects, collaborating with AI teammates to mirror modern team workflows. Unlike traditional interviews, these simulations reveal how candidates think, solve problems, and collaborate, providing a true measure of their potential success.

"Hiring has been broken for decades. Resumes lie. Interviews mislead. Stop hiring imposters. With WorkTrial AI, teams finally see the truth — how people actually perform under real-world conditions," said Michael Guan, Co-Founder of WorkTrial AI. "It's the most meaningful innovation in recruiting since the invention of the resume."

The Signal Engine: Capturing Meaningful Insights

The platform’s proprietary Signal Engine captures every candidate action—code commits, document edits, Slack interactions, and collaboration moments—turning them into actionable insights. It provides quantitative metrics like commit timelines and PR quality, alongside qualitative feedback on writing clarity and documentation habits. AI-powered rubrics convert these into role-specific scores, ensuring transparent, auditable, and fair assessments for hiring managers.

Building on Proven Trial-Based Models

WorkTrial AI builds on trial-based hiring systems used by companies like Linear, PostHog, Gumroad, and 37signals, which prioritize paid work trials for better retention and cultural alignment. Previously, such systems required significant manual effort. WorkTrial AI eliminates this overhead, making high-signal hiring scalable and accessible to all organizations.

Benefits for Employers and Candidates

For employers, WorkTrial AI offers clarity through pre-built role templates and standardized rubrics, enabling consistent evaluations. Evidence-based reports replace gut-based decisions, leading to faster hiring, stronger cultural fit, and higher retention. Candidates benefit from paid trials, transparent feedback, and a traceable work record, ensuring a fair and valuable process, regardless of the outcome.

WorkTrial AI redefines hiring by creating value for both companies and candidates, delivering a scalable, transparent, and evidence-based approach to recruitment.

About WorkTrial

AI WorkTrial AI is the hiring platform that goes beyond resumes and interviews, replacing talk with proof. Instead of answering rehearsed questions, candidates step into immersive work trials where they complete scoped projects in secure environments using the same real tools they'll use on the job. Every action is captured and evaluated by the AI-powered Signal Engine, transforming real work into clear, auditable insights. The result is hiring that's scalable, transparent, and fair for every team. Hire real people. See the real work.
