Quests

The brief

Hiring contract engineers means choosing between a recruiter's fee, a marketplace's race to the bottom, or weeks of LinkedIn archaeology. Quests replaces the pipeline itself: an eight-stage hiring funnel where the first six stages — eligibility, role fit, evidence, skill verification, AI technical interview, ranking — run autonomously, and humans decide only what should never be automated.

The build

Three faces of one platform: a public site where roles are published and found, an app where contractors build verified profiles and get matched, and a company workspace where hiring runs end to end. Underneath, a system engineered for trust — every AI decision recorded, every stage explainable, every contract and payment handled in-platform.

The signature

Auditable AI hiring. Every model call logs its model and prompt version to an attribution trail; a versioned registry, programmable policy gates and appeal flows answer the EU AI Act and GDPR Article 22 with paperwork instead of a shrug. On the commercial side: tripartite contracts signed in minutes, escrow, a single monthly invoice and Stripe Connect payouts.

Built and demonstrable

Deployed across production, staging and development environments, with disaster-recovery runbooks and an infrastructure estate that can be torn down and rebuilt on demand — the operational maturity of platforms many times its age.
