Hiring Is Broken.
AI has destroyed trust in how we evaluate human capability.
Resumes are now trivial to generate. Interviews are easy to game. Entire hiring pipelines are built on assumptions that no longer hold.
In a world where machines can convincingly imitate people, trust has collapsed — and organizations are paying the price.
When anyone can look qualified, qualification stops meaning anything.
Modern hiring platforms optimize for visibility, engagement, and volume — not truth.
They reward performance over proof. Signals over substance. Appearances over reality.
This worked when human claims were hard to fake.
It does not work anymore.
The result:
- False-positive hires at scale
- Inflated credentials with no grounding in reality
- Recruiters forced to guess instead of verify
- Candidates reduced to content
A professional network built on self-assertion cannot survive a world of artificial self-assertion.
Trust does not come from profiles, popularity, or probability.
It comes from proof generated under constraint.
When the stakes are real, verification must be real too:
- A real human
- Under defined conditions
- Without automation, impersonation, or assistance
- Producing evidence that can be examined, reused, and challenged
This is not about surveillance.
This is not about scoring people.
This is about restoring dignity to human work by grounding it in reality.
In a post-AI world, trust must be earned — not assumed.
Troof exists to establish a baseline truth:
Can this human actually do the work they claim they can do — without assistance, impersonation, or automation?
Principles:
- Proof over claims
- Verification over probability
- Integrity over convenience
- Portability over lock-in
- Human dignity over engagement metrics
Troof does not decide who should be hired.
Troof ensures the process itself is trustworthy.
Troof is a human verification and hiring infrastructure for a post-AI world.
- Verifies real human capability under controlled, fraud-resistant conditions
- Produces portable, reusable proof instead of self-reported credentials
- Enforces integrity without defining success or failure
Troof is not a recruiter.
Troof is not a social network.
Troof is for organizations that cannot afford to guess.
That includes:
- Teams hiring for roles where failure is expensive
- Organizations operating in high-noise applicant environments
- Companies where trust, safety, or correctness actually matters
Size is not the filter. Stakes are.
If a bad hire costs you time, safety, reputation, or mission integrity — Troof applies.
Troof is launching with a limited number of organizations that want to stop hiring blind.
This is not self-serve software.
This is not optimized for volume.
It is a conversation about standards.
