About Rexe
Hiring is broken at both ends, and AI broke it further. Rexe is a small, honest attempt to fix one piece of it: proving what someone can actually do.
The problem
A single job opening now attracts hundreds of applications, most of them AI-polished to look identical. Employers can't tell signal from noise, so good people get lost and hiring takes forever. At the same time, the way software gets built has split in two: there are deep systems engineers, and there's a fast-growing wave of people who ship real, working products mostly by orchestrating AI. Traditional interviews are built for the first group and quietly punish the second — even when the second group demonstrably ships.
The idea
Rexe is a credential, not a job board. Instead of self-reported skills that everyone distrusts, it runs a short adaptive interview and produces a verified, calibrated read of how you actually work — and it does this for both kinds of builder. The credential's whole value rests on one principle: it never overstates. It shows the gaps as plainly as the strengths, and it's honest about what it couldn't confirm. A report you can't trust is worthless; a report that's candid about its own limits is something an employer can lean on.
Why honesty is the product
It would be easy to hand everyone a shiny "pass" — and worthless. So Rexe does the opposite: conservative scoring, no fake green ticks, clear assurance levels, and no pretending an interview can't be gamed. If "independently verified" is going to mean anything, it has to be earned.
Where it's at
Rexe is an early beta, built in the open and improving fast. It's free for candidates during the beta. If you've got feedback — especially if you're a hiring manager or an engineer who's taken the interview — we genuinely want it.
