knownguy is an HR-tech platform for verifying professional relationships used in hiring and talent evaluation.
HR professionals and hiring teams can review a candidate’s public trust profile to see confirmed vouches from people who have worked with them — such as colleagues, managers, or clients — instead of relying only on self-reported profiles or unverified endorsements. Candidates collect vouches via a personal link; confirmed relationships appear on a shareable profile and trust badge that can be attached to applications and professional profiles.
The product is intended for recruiting and HR workflows where reference-style verification and relationship context support screening and hiring decisions.
