Career mobility, built on proof. Leap turns real-world experience into verified, mathematically-validated skills. A portable Capability Ledger, proven through five-minute scenario challenges, guided by Opal the Empathetic Oracle, and trusted by recruiters and enterprises that need evidence, not keyword guesses.
The Problem
Hiring still runs on CVs and keyword-scanning software. If a person’s history doesn’t read like a tidy ladder, the scan misses them. Career changers moving industries. Parents returning after a break. Carers rejoining the workforce. Military veterans translating service into civilian capability. Gig-economy workers with messy, non-linear histories. All capable. All invisible to software that was never designed to see them.
The cost is paid by everyone. Recruiters fight over the same small pool of “safe” candidates and miss the bigger one sitting just outside it. Employers make multi-million-pound hiring decisions on proxies instead of proof. HR teams chase internal mobility targets without the data to act on them. The CV was never a good measure of capability. Keyword scans just made it worse.
The Cost of the Data Gap
Roughly half the working-age population doesn’t fit the linear-CV mould. Returners, switchers, veterans, gig workers, neurodivergent talent. Every one of them carries hard-won capability that the current pipeline cannot read. The result is a labour market that under-serves both sides: workers locked out of opportunities they could do tomorrow, and employers paying premium rates for the ones the scanner happened to surface.
The Solution
Leap replaces the CV-then-interview pipeline with a three-step flow: Translate, Prove, Match. Translate unstructured work history into the skills employers actually recognise, jargon-free, no HR vocabulary required. Prove them through five-minute capability challenges built around real-world scenarios, not coursework or paper certificates. Match directly to roles that need those specific skills, with the reasoning behind every score shown in plain English.
The verified results are written to a tamper-proof Capability Ledger that belongs to the user, not the platform. It exports as a portable Skills Passport that travels with them between jobs, sectors, and life stages. No-one has to re-prove themselves every time the role changes.
Three Portals, One Source of Truth
Talent is for individuals and families. Career exploration, the Capability Ledger, scenario challenges, and Opal-led guidance, in a tone built for real life rather than corporate HR. Recruiter is for agencies and direct hirers. A feed of “Transferable Gems”, anonymised by default, surfaced by the skills they actually have rather than the keywords they happen to use. Enterprise is for HR directors and people teams. Internal mobility, succession planning, retention modelling, and pay-equity enforcement, all running off the same verified evidence the talent side owns.
Opal, the Empathetic Oracle
Opal is Leap’s Synaptic Intelligence. She watches patterns in real work, offers low-friction verification prompts in the flow rather than yanking people out of it, and translates lived experience (parental leave, caregiving, military service, a winding career) into language employers understand. She also keeps an eye on live market demand and suggests learning paths with a clear return on investment, so users aren’t guessing where to put their next ten hours.
Built to Be Trusted
UK-sovereign data storage. ISO 27001 aligned. Cyber Essentials certified. Every match score carries a mandatory plain-English Display Reasoning module. The matching engine is regression-tested against a 10,000-career Ground Truth dataset and governed by an independent Data Integrity Board. Career mobility and hiring decisions should rest on the truth, and the truth has to be auditable.
