How CVH works
How CVH works
Four steps, and one of them is optional. Here is what happens, who sees what, and what we don't do.
Claim + Observation + Decision
01
You publish what the role needs.
You write the requirements and approve each one before it goes live. Candidates answer to those, not to a generic form.
02
The candidate describes what they did.
In their own words, tied to one requirement. We keep the exact wording, so what an observer reads and what you read are the same text.
03
Someone who was there confirms it.
The candidate names a person who saw the work. We email that person a secure link with the claim and one question. One tap answers it: Yes, I can confirm this. Detail is optional.
04
You review the application.
Organized by requirement, with the person, how closely they saw the work, and a link to the record behind every line.

Evidence is optional
An application is complete with nothing attached.
- Zero claims, zero requests, zero confirmations still submits.
- Submission goes through immediately and never waits for anyone to reply.
- Employers can't require confirmations or reject a candidate automatically for not having them.
A claim nobody has confirmed reads as nothing more than this:
Not yet independently corroborated
Who sees what
The same rules apply to every surface.
The screen and the email answer to the same rules.
Candidate
Sees
Their own application, their claims, and the requests they sent with the date they were sent.
Never sees
How any specific person answered. No delivery state, no opens, no declines, no reminders.
Observer
Sees
Only the claims put in front of them, who is asking, and their own answer and manage controls.
Never sees
Other observers, the rest of the application, or anything the employer does next.
Employer
Sees
The application, the claims, the positive confirmations, and who gave them, with the source behind each one.
Never sees
Declines, non-answers, wrong-recipient replies, withdrawn confirmations, reminders, or trust and fraud state.
CVH internal
Sees
Operational, consent, and integrity state, under explicit authorization and a recorded reason.
Boundary
Internal access never opens a private outcome to a candidate, an observer, or an employer.
The observer's side
Every answer costs the candidate nothing.
Saying no is a full answer
Anyone we email can say they can't speak to it, that they don't know the person, or that the request reached the wrong address. The employer never sees that they were asked.
Correcting the record
If the relationship a candidate described is wrong, the observer corrects it in their own words before answering, and how closely they saw the work is theirs to state.
What a confirmation never becomes
A confirmation is one person saying they saw one thing. There is no verified badge, no trust number, and nothing that ranks one person above another.
What we don't do
CVH changes the application. Not the reference call.
No candidate score, ranking number, or verified badge
No public candidate profile or portable reputation
No route for criticism
No paid referrals, no network requirement
