The workforce you need is already here

Everyone deserves to do the work they were made for.

A historic labor shortage on one side. A hidden workforce of trained professionals on the other. Stratum proves what people can do on the work itself, then connects the two.

The bridge between them is proof, and proof is what we build.

For employers

You can't find people. We already did.

A historic shortage on your side, a workforce of trained professionals on the other. We grade the work itself, so you hire on what a person can do.

How it works

Prove the skill. Close the gap. Make the hire.

01
Prove the skill
A worker shows real work product, graded against a field-specific rubric.
02
Close the gap
Where a role needs English or a US credential first, the education side carries them there.
03
Make the hire
An employer sees what a person can do, and the wage they expect, before the first interview.

America isn't short on talent.

It is short on people who can prove what that talent can do. Be the one who opens the door.

Common questions

Questions we hear.

How do you vet the people you send employers?

Every candidate is graded on real work product against a field-specific rubric by the same assessment engine we built with teachers. An employer sees what a person can actually do, plus the wage they expect, before the first interview. You judge the work, not the passport.

Why haven't these people already been hired?

Not because they can't do the job. A foreign degree is hard to read, a foreign license doesn't transfer, and an unfamiliar name gets filtered out of an applicant pile. The skill was never the problem. The proof was. That is the gap Stratum closes.

How does Stratum handle foreign credentials and licensing?

We grade work product against a field-specific rubric instead of leaning on a credential that is hard to read across borders. Where a role legally requires a US license, we say so plainly and map the path to it, including the English or bridge steps that most often stand in the way, rather than pretending the requirement isn't there.

Does the AI replace teachers?

No. The teacher sets the rubric, the teacher holds the final grade, and the AI flags what it is unsure about so a human looks at it first. It learns from her corrections and works for her, not instead of her. She can take any grade back at any time.
