How WorkFirst Works
Prove & hire replace CVs with proof of work
The Revolutionary Process
Four simple steps that transform how companies hire and workforce gets hired
Companies Post Tasks (Not Jobs)
Companies create real tasks with category (e.g. development, design, sales, support), clear deliverables, deadline, and reward. Evaluation criteria and weights are required before publishing so everyone knows how work will be judged.
- Clear deliverables, timeline, and payment
- Evaluation criteria defined up front (no publish without it)
- Optional cap on participants per task
Accept Task → Submit Deliverable
Workforce accepts a task (slot is locked, countdown starts). Then they deliver: upload a file, share a repo or video link, write a response, or for coding tasks submit a live demo URL plus credentials so the company can run and check the work (e.g. app on S3, optimized React page).
- Accept task = lock your slot and start the clock
- Submit by file, repo, video, text, or live demo + access info
- Get paid for proving your work
Score Submissions → Award Winner
Companies review all submissions. For live demos they get an "Open demo" link and secure access to credentials to test the work. They score each submission against the task's criteria and weights; the platform computes a final score and ranks results. The company then awards the task to the chosen winner.
- Score against defined criteria (weighted scoring)
- For coding: test live demos with provided credentials
- Award winner from submissions; task completes
Complete & Hire
Once the winner delivers and the company marks work complete, they can optionally hire and start onboarding (assign an onboarding template). Companies build trusted pools; proven contributors get re invited and long term roles emerge from proven collaboration.
- Mark work complete; optional hire + onboarding
- Build relationships through work
- Natural progression to full time roles
