    Not opted in, not in the search. No back door.

  • Consent, and a record of it.

    Every run kept on the record. You can always show your working.

  • Verification is not self-service.

    Only demonstrated work flips a skill to verified. The source is stored with it.

  • Flags. Never verdicts.

    The record notes what happened and when, and you can jump to the moment and watch it. Nothing is scored as guilt and no keystrokes are logged. Nobody is rejected by a machine: a rule can suggest, and a person decides.

The questions you were going to ask anyway.

Rather we ran it for you?

Tell us the role. A Winkle recruiter finds the people, puts each through a skills assessment and an AI interview, and hands you vetted finalists with the evidence. We agree the fee with you on a call.
