Transparency & Methodology

Methodology

Darna scores evidence-backed hiring practices, not legacy submissions or vague sentiment.

Trust is the product

No company can pay for a higher score. Scores come from skill-assessment activity, job transparency, verified policies, and candidate process signals.

Assessment Safeguards

Every score must be tied to evidence from the candidate answer or transcript.

We do not score protected traits, personality, accent, or nationality.

The assessment supports screening and does not make final hiring decisions.

High-stakes technical correctness is manually reviewed or later checked against verified reference material.
