Vetano also supports knowledge work across sales, analytics, design, and operations. Wherever someone's ability is more honest on video than on paper, Vetano works. Employers post roles in minutes, share their Vetano link or QR code anywhere they already recruit, and review verified candidates asynchronously. No resume parsing. No interview-first screening. No AI-generated application noise. Vetano launched publicly in December 2025 and is now listed in the Paychex Marketplace. The company also publishes The 10-Factor Hire, an open standard for proof-first hiring released under CC BY 4.0 at vetano.com/the-10-factor-hire: verified identity, intro video, proof of skill, work over timeline, deal-breakers up front, fewer better faster, shareability, async-first review, open access, and no homework. Both candidates and employers are held to the same proof-first bar. Vetano has been covered by Yahoo Finance, AP News, KTLA, and Morningstar, and was ranked #2 Product of the Day on PeerPush.
