The Signal layer for skill-first hiring.
Hiring at depth needs more than a search box. UpStar produces a structured set of Signals — for candidates, for hiring teams, for the talent decision itself — with transparency at every step.
Verified Talent Board
The public discovery surface for verified, role-ready tech professionals. Anonymous by default, transparent on signal, navigable by skill — not by resume keyword. Already live at /talent.
Skill Wallet
Verified, candidate-portable proof of professional value. Education, experience, certifications, skills, projects — all independently validated. Carried by the professional, not locked to a single employer.
Role-Fit Matching
Quantified match against a specific job description, computed continuously. Each candidate receives a personalised Top 5 every Monday from the Talent Board; hiring teams get on-demand ranking against any JD. Skill Score out of 1000, Role-Fit Score out of 100, Trust Score out of 100 — transparent, auditable, explainable.
Learning Path Signal
Every Role-Fit Matching evaluation surfaces what the candidate brings and what to develop next. Your candidate's gap map, refreshed with every match.
Career Path Signal
Multi-year trajectory mapped from your verified history. See how your wallet leads to the roles you want next — and the ones you didn't know to look for.
Pipeline Signal
For hiring teams. Predictive bench of likely matches before a role opens. Plan headcount against the talent pool, not against the job board.
Other platforms measure workforce skills inside the enterprise. UpStar produces portable Signals that follow the professional and surface to the hiring teams that need them — built for a two-sided hiring market, not just internal mobility.
Built for technology hiring teams that need quality, not volume.
UpStar replaces the resume pile with a curated, scored, verified talent layer. Every candidate is screened by UpStar's verification engine; you see only Top Talent and Star Talent engineers, backed by:
- Verified credentials — degrees, certifications, references, work history
- Validated technical skills — assessment results, project review, demonstrable capability
- Quantified Role-Fit against your specific JD — Skill Score, Role-Fit Score, Trust Score, Readiness Score
- Transparent scoring methodology — every score auditable, every signal explainable to stakeholders
Built for mid-to-senior tech professionals who want their skills to be seen.
UpStar gives you a verified Skill Wallet — a structured, scored, portable representation of your professional value. Validate your AWS, Kubernetes, Python, security, ML, or full-stack experience in a way employers can trust. Get matched to roles that actually fit, with a personalised learning path to close any gaps for the role you want next.
Why UpStar.
Verified, not just claimed
Every candidate's credentials, certifications, and skills are independently verified by UpStar before any hiring team sees them. The signal is checked before you check the signal.
Portable, not locked
Your Skill Wallet belongs to you, not to a single employer's HRIS. Carry it across roles, share it with hiring teams, update it as you grow.
Two-sided by design
Built for both candidates and hiring teams. Same signals, same transparency, same scoring methodology — visible to whichever side is making the decision.

- Role-Fit Score (out of 100) — match against a specific job
- Trust Score (out of 100) — verification confidence
- Readiness Score (out of 100) — immediately deployable signal
Role-Fit, not just resumes.
Upload your JD or pick a common role. UpStar's Role-Fit engine evaluates each candidate against the specific requirements — must-have skills, experience years, seniority, location fit. The result: a ranked list of pre-validated engineers, each with a transparent breakdown of strengths, gaps, and bonus skills.
