How Hire Rules Works

Once your business is set up, you're ready to begin building your Proof of Performance.

Share your Business Profile or a team member or location link with your customers.
Customers confirm four observable performance behaviors.
Each completed verification becomes part of your growing Proof of Performance.

Over time, your Proof of Performance becomes a verified record of how your business consistently performs.

What You Can Do

Your Hire Rules subscription includes everything you need to build, manage, and understand your Proof of Performance.

With your subscription, you can:

View your Verified Proof of Performance
Access Partial Proof of Performance (visible only to your business)
See who's following your business
Add team members with individual Proof of Performance links

Businesses can create a Hire Rules listing and be listed without a subscription. However, only subscribed businesses have access to dashboard features, follower information, Partial Proof of Performance, and business insights.

Understanding Proof of Performance

Proof of Performance is your business's verified record of performance over time. Instead of relying on ratings or opinions, Hire Rules verifies observable performance through customer confirmations, creating a trusted record that grows over time.

Verified Proof of Performance

Completed customer verifications that appear on your public Business Profile.

Partial Proof of Performance

Incomplete verifications visible only to your business. These insights can help you better understand customer interactions and identify opportunities for improvement.

Add Team Members

Create a unique Proof of Performance link for each member of your team.

Each team member receives a unique Proof of Performance link so completed verifications can be associated with the right employee.

Many businesses create QR codes using their team members' unique Proof of Performance links. While Hire Rules doesn't generate QR codes at launch, any QR code generator can create one using the link provided.

People can find your business by searching for your city, state, or ZIP code.

The street address helps you recognize the business location associated with this Proof of Performance.

Add Business Locations

If your business operates from multiple locations, create a unique Proof of Performance link for each one.

Each business location receives its own unique Proof of Performance link.

Each business location has its own unique Proof of Performance link, making it possible to track performance separately across multiple locations.

Sharing Your Business Profile

Your Business Profile is designed to be shared. Sharing your profile helps prospective customers view your growing Proof of Performance before choosing your business.

Copy your Business Profile link directly from your dashboard and include it wherever customers may want to learn more about your business.

Many businesses choose to share their profile:

On their website
In email signatures
In estimates and proposals
On social media
In customer follow-up emails

Many businesses share their Business Profile before customers make a hiring decision, giving them an opportunity to view verified Proof of Performance instead of relying solely on ratings or reviews.
