The core marketplace is operational in early access: approved employers can publish public roles, and candidates can discover them, apply with evidence, complete assigned evaluations, receive policy-gated verification, and decide role-specific introduction requests. Public roles require employer reconfirmation within 30 days and pause automatically if an application remains unreviewed for more than 7 days. Marketplace supply is still being expanded.

The current product enforces four differences: roles must be recently reconfirmed and remain responsive; evidence sources stay distinct from self-reported skills; matching explains criteria and gaps; and candidate contact details remain private until an introduction is accepted. These controls reduce stale listings, application black holes, keyword-only ranking, opaque matching, and unsolicited contact, but they do not guarantee interviews or hiring.

Existing Thrive With AI learners and external AI engineers can use the same Thrive With AI account to create a profile. Course enrollment is not required for profile creation.

It is an evidence-backed verification state for candidates who satisfy a versioned evaluation policy. It is not a self-declared label, course-completion badge, placement guarantee, or promise of job performance.

No. Learning activity can appear as learning evidence, but it remains distinct from project-demonstrated and evaluation-verified capability.

No. Employers must be approved before they can access employer-only talent information, and candidates independently control search visibility, profile visibility, evidence visibility, and introduction preference.

No. Personal contact information is never returned in public profiles, talent search, or application responses. An approved employer must submit a role-specific introduction request, and your account email is released only to that employer after you explicitly accept.

The current matching service uses transparent, deterministic factors: evaluation-verified skills carry the strongest weight, project-demonstrated skills carry less, and self-reported skills carry the least. Track, experience, work preference, and visible project evidence also contribute, and every result includes criteria, confidence, and explicit gaps.

No such claim is made today. A more advanced model may be added later, but only after it exists and can be evaluated responsibly.

The intended workflow provides skill-level feedback, an improvement plan, and policy-based retake eligibility. A failed or incomplete attempt cannot be presented as verified.

Yes. The active policy will define validity. Verification may expire, and an administrator may revoke it for a recorded reason, with an audit history.
