How it works
One framework. Every role. Evidence behind every score.
Gainday replaces CV screening with a 30-minute work simulation built from the employer's real problem, then scores it consistently.
The capability framework
Problem Solving
Analyses situations, finds root causes, makes decisions.
Execution
Answers the task, follows instructions, delivers completely.
Judgement
Prioritises correctly, spots risk, decides sensibly.
Communication
Clear, structured, explains reasoning.
Commercial Awareness
Understands customers, stakeholders and trade-offs.
Role Expertise
Demonstrates the craft the role actually requires.
The Capability Passport
Each completed assessment adds evidence to your passport. Scores are a rolling weighted average over 18 months, so recent work counts most and one bad day doesn't define you. Employers see your capability profile anonymously before they ever see your name.
Fair testing conditions
Assessments run in a locked, timed window. We track focus loss, long idle periods and heavy pasting to flag anomalies. Everyone works to the same clock and the same brief, so a strong result reflects real capability.
