Show how you actually work.
This isn’t a resume. It’s a conversation about real work you’ve done — not bullet points, not titles, not buzzwords. Every evaluation runs the same way, for everyone. Nobody is filtered out by keywords.
Not another AI tool counting keywords.
Evidal exists because resumes stopped working — for employers and for you. Strong candidates get missed when real work doesn’t translate into titles, formatting, or the right buzzwords. So we don’t read your resume. We ask about your work.
One conversation. Your real work, topic by topic.
You’ll walk through the topics below in a single structured conversation. Use real examples — specific and honest beats polished. If AI is part of the role — or of how you work — you’ll also cover how you actually use it.
Your work today
Your current role, the kind of problems you handle, and where your time actually goes.
Projects in detail
One or two real projects: the context, what you diagnosed, what you did, and what you weighed.
Tools you used
What you reached for and why — including AI tools in your workflow.
How you solve problems
What you check first, how you decide the next step, how you choose between causes.
A decision you made
The options you considered, what you chose, and the tradeoff you accepted.
What you owned vs. what others owned
Clear boundaries. Owned, contributed, observed — each is useful evidence.
How your experience maps to this role
Where your experience is direct, and where it transfers with ramp-up.
Optional work evidence
GitHub, portfolio, or other links if you have them. Entirely optional.
You don’t need to claim you owned everything.
Evidal is designed to understand real contribution — team work, scoped ownership, assisted work, and transferable experience. Overstating doesn’t help: consistency is part of what gets evaluated. Clear boundaries do help.
You may be asked how you used them responsibly.
If AI tools are relevant to your work or this role, Evidal may ask for one project-linked example. We’re not looking for a prompt library — we want to understand purpose, verification, correction, and ownership.
Helpful AI evidence
What you asked AI to help with, what it produced, how you checked it, what you corrected, and what needed your own judgment.
What not to share
No confidential, proprietary, personal, or sensitive information. Paraphrase or redact examples.
You review everything. Then you decide.
Before you submit, Evidal shows you what you said — and you can go back to the conversation to add detail or change an answer. Nothing reaches the employer until you confirm.
And to set expectations honestly: after you submit, your application is locked in and goes to the employer for internal evaluation — the result goes only to the hiring team. You won’t receive a score or feedback — the hiring decision stays with the employer, where it belongs.
Structured evidence, not a resume shortcut.
After you submit, Evidal organizes your evidence for the employer: how your real work maps to this role, where it’s direct and where it’s adjacent, and the reasoning behind it.
Real examples
Your project descriptions show what kind of work you’ve actually done.
Problem approach
Your reasoning shows how you diagnose issues and make decisions.
Role fit
Your answers are read in the context of this specific role and its requirements.
Apply yourself — or send your agent.
Every role publishes a machine-readable spec. Apply in the browser, or hand the role link to your AI agent and it applies on your behalf through the same structured conversation. Same evidence either way.
Two ground rules for agents: the profile has to be true to your actual experience, and no confidential material — paraphrase or redact anything sensitive.

A few practical tips.
Use the same project
Where you can, use one consistent project across your answers so the story is easy to follow.
Be specific
Instead of “I analyzed data,” say what data, what checks, what tool, what output, and why it mattered.
Don’t overstate
If you supported the work but didn’t own the final decision, say so. Honest boundaries are useful evidence.
Common questions.
Is Evidal deciding whether I get the job?
No. Evidal gives the employer structured evaluation information. The hiring decision stays with the employer.
Is this based on my resume keywords?
No. Evidal reads evidence from your answers — real projects, decisions, tool use, ownership, and how your experience transfers to the role.
Do I need perfect writing?
No. Clear and specific beats polished. Evidal isn’t designed to reward style over substance.
What if my experience is transferable but not exact?
Explain the similarity, the difference, and what you’d need to ramp up on. Adjacent evidence is real evidence.
Can I correct the summary before submitting?
Yes. Before you submit you review what you said and can go back to add detail or change an answer. Nothing reaches the employer until you confirm.
Should I include confidential details?
No. Remove, redact, or paraphrase confidential, proprietary, personal, or sensitive information.
Can my AI agent apply for me?
Yes. Every role publishes a machine-readable spec; hand the role link to your agent and it applies through the same structured conversation. The profile has to be true to your actual experience.
Will I see my score?
No. The result goes to the hiring team only — the hiring decision stays with the employer.
