Automated assessment
Coding assessments turned manual validation into a scalable workflow.
The context
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.
Opportunity@Work was formed to support the TechHire initiative and rewire a labor market that often overlooks people with valuable skills but without traditional credentials or experience.
01 · The challenge
Manual matching could not scale with demand.
Staff were personally validating job seekers and sourcing candidates for employers. The process proved the model, but it needed software to reach substantially more people.
- 01Validate technical ability without relying on conventional credentials.
- 02Help employers discover, evaluate, and connect with candidates.
- 03Coordinate job seekers, employers, educators, and volunteers.
02 · The partnership
Build the product—and the team behind it.
Source Labs embedded senior engineers, evolved the marketplace through real-world validation, and helped Opportunity@Work establish the internal team that would ultimately own it.
Integrated delivery
Senior engineers worked alongside product and operational teams.
Sustainable handoff
We helped hire, mentor, and equip an internal Agile product team.
03 · The product
A marketplace centered on demonstrated ability.
The platform gives candidates a way to prove their skills and employers a focused way to find people who conventional hiring can miss.
04 · The result
A validated product with an organization ready to own it.
- 01Thousands of job seekers, employers, educators, and volunteers served.
- 02Hundreds of candidates able to validate technical skills.
- 03Employer participation from LinkedIn, Amazon, Capital One, and CVS Health.
- 04An internal product and engineering team prepared for long-term ownership.
Source Labs brought critical technology expertise to build our first platform. They cared deeply about our success and helped us hire, train, and mentor the internal team that would carry the product forward.Byron AugusteCEO and Co-founder, Opportunity@Work
