Hello! Adrian and Paul here, we conceived of Higher almost 2 years ago now, partly inspired by a HN thread! The other part was Paul being asked to endorse a colleague he had worked with before, he did so positively, however the owners asked him if he'd bet anything on it and he retracted his endorsement!

We invented the concept of a confidence curation market as a spin off from content creation markets, the system wide effect is those who rise to the top have the most network confidence in passing probation.

We also wanted to bring the human element back into recruiting, giving control back to the candidates to indicate their keenness and applicability for a role whilst staying informed (it's amazing how many recruiting processes right now DON'T update you), candidates can self-endorse or reach out to their network for endorsements.

It's a big idea with lots of nuances and we've just launched our MVP, we're happy to answer any questions!

AD: It's worth pointing out that Harvard Business School just published a report[1] on what they deem as 'Hidden Workers' - one of the major factors in these workers remaining hidden is that their CV or digital profiles can't get past the AI filtering engines almost all ATS system use... We've side stepped AI filtering systems with peer-to-peer collateralised endorsements, humans are doing the match-making and at scale.

Less AI and more people. I hope this succeeds.

But AI can weigh connections too, if reqruiters use outdated AI systems doesn't mean AI cannot solve the current problem.
