Work that fits the question
Different skills deserve different ways to show them.
A hiring team can combine assessment formats, but each stage should have a clear purpose, time limit, and set of criteria.
Coding
Write and run code in a focused workspace with the prompt, examples, and timer in view.
Take-home
Download a starter project, work locally with your usual tools, then upload the finished project and reflections.
System design
Work through an architecture problem on a blank board while explaining the tradeoffs you make.
A fairer shot, by design
Fairness comes from the process—not a slogan.
ShowWork cannot promise an outcome. It can make the task clearer, use the same criteria for each submission, and leave the hiring decision with accountable people.
Consistent criteria
The submitted work is evaluated against the rubric approved for that assessment.
Context travels with the work
Reflections give you room to explain tradeoffs, incomplete areas, and what you would do next.
People remain accountable
Automation organizes a first pass. The hiring team reviews the evidence and owns its decision.

These are the next problems we want to solve. They are not part of the current invitation experience, and they do not promise an interview or a job.
