Why it works

What happens when they open your VouchCard.

VouchPath is in private beta, onboarding our first cohort. Here is what we already know about why structured private endorsements work.

What he did next

I was about to pass on her. The resume was fine but nothing stood out. Then I saw the VouchCard in her email. One of her colleagues described a specific client situation in detail. I booked the interview that afternoon.

What she did next

Two of us had different reads on the candidate after the first interview. I pulled up the VouchCard and we went through it together. It settled it. We made the offer the next morning.

What he did next

I used it in the interview. Asked the candidate to walk me through the budget situation one of their vouchers had mentioned. The conversation went somewhere a standard interview never would have.

What she did next

There were 80 applicants. I was skimming. I saw the VouchCard link in the cover email and stopped. Read the whole thing. Put her in the yes pile. She got the offer.
