Four of your live U.S. postings, starting with your own Military Talent pipeline, read against what your screen can and can’t verify.
This is your own posting text, nothing added. Each role is split two ways: what the screen can verify — a degree, years, a named technology — and what the posting values but nothing measures. Your Military Talent Program is the clearest case of all: it names the durable qualities of service members as the reason to hire them, then screens on a degree.
The Military Talent Program — where the gap is sharpest
Your own pipeline for transitioning service members. It names dedication, discipline, and teamwork as the value — and screens on a degree and years.

Your Military Program names the durable layer as the reason to hire — then can’t measure it
Every role has a technical layer — the degree, the years, the stack. Visa’s screen verifies it cleanly, because it’s pass/fail.
Every role also has a durable layer — dedication, discipline, teamwork, judgment, the ability to collaborate under pressure. Your Military Talent Program names these outright as the reason to recruit service members. The other three roles escalate the same pattern — from implied, to a formal “Core Competencies” list, to the entire substance of the Client Success role. And the screen measures none of it.
That’s the sharpest version of the pattern. The Military Talent Program is built on a real insight — that service members bring dedication, discipline, and teamwork. The screen just doesn’t have a way to see those yet; it verifies the degree and trusts the rest. The program is already right about what matters. The missing piece is a way to measure it.
The Military Talent Program is founded on a conviction we share — that service members bring dedication, discipline, and teamwork worth hiring for. Right now the screen verifies the degree and takes those three on trust. The conviction is sound; what’s missing is a way to measure what you already believe is there.
That’s the whole opportunity in one place: a transitioning service member usually arrives with the durable layer built far past what a resume shows, while the credential is the part they’re still completing. The program is built on exactly this belief. Measuring that layer — turning the belief into something you can see candidate by candidate — is what PowerTechs does.
