We noticed something odd while reviewing thousands of candidates: resumes were giving us an increasingly distorted picture of actual ability. People can list anything. Their real work is almost always sitting in a GitHub repo, personal site, Figma file, or some half-forgotten project link. So we built portfolio-level screening into InterviewFlowAI. When a candidate submits a portfolio URL, we analyze the actual project: – structure and depth of work – tech stack used (and whether it looks “real”) – clarity of writing and documentation – attention to detail – common red flags (broken links, empty repos, template sites, shallow descriptions) From that, the system generates: – a match score – strengths and gaps – a short summary the recruiter can skim in a few seconds Early tests show that portfolio signals correlate far more with real-world ability than anything in a resume, especially for engineers and designers. Curious if others here have seen the same shift: Are resumes becoming noise? Would love thoughts from people hiring at scale or candidates who prefer showcasing actual projects.
