We build the trust layer for tech hiring — verification, intelligence, and the engagement infrastructure that lets companies hire well in a world where résumés have stopped meaning anything. One system. Five products. One discipline that started it all.
India loses an estimated ₹37,000 Cr a year to mis-hires. Not because the talent isn't there — because nobody can verify it.
Résumés exaggerate. Assessments score the wrong things. AI made the noise louder. The companies that hire well now will be the ones with infrastructure for proof.
That's what Neoveda is. Same engine, plugged into hiring, staffing, and education.
The Knovia Taxonomy sits at the centre — a continuously updated graph of skills, roles, and evidence. Every product on this page reads from it, writes to it, and gets sharper because of it.
Knovia is the only network in India where every candidate is verified through evidence — GitHub activity, tracked certifications, coding assessments, mentor-verified experience. Not self-reported claims.
Every skill on a Knovia profile sits on a four-tier ladder — Claimed, Demonstrated, Supported, Validated. The Knovia Readiness Score summarises that evidence, but recruiters can still inspect the proof beneath it. Candidates earn readiness, not adjectives.
Built for three audiences. Candidates get an honest profile that travels. Enterprises get verified shortlists. Colleges get an outcomes layer that finally tracks something real.
guIDE is the assessment integrity layer beneath Knovia. Candidates code inside the sealed guIDE.knovia.ai environment with real tools, controlled AI access, and full session evidence — so teams can evaluate how they think, not whether they memorised an answer.
This is not webcam-first proctoring dressed up as assessment. guIDE focuses on work evidence. It tracks code evolution, prompts, paste events, tool usage, and explanation quality so reviewers can separate real engineering judgment from copied output.
AI provenance is first-class: every prompt, suggestion, acceptance, rejection, and manual edit is attributed in the session timeline. The full session becomes replayable evidence for the Validated tier on a candidate's Knovia profile.
guIDE.knovia.ai gives candidates real packages, real tools, controlled access, and a complete audit trail.
Every prompt, suggestion, paste, edit, acceptance, and rejection is attributed.
Review the work as it happened, with the signal track over the top.
US and EU companies want Indian engineering talent. They don't want permanent establishment risk, contractor-misclassification headaches, or yet another body-shopping vendor. Atlas is the structured alternative.
Atlas isn't an outsourcing firm. It's compliance-aware, verification-driven engagement infrastructure. The engineer is verified through Knovia. The contract is structured. The risk is transparent. The talent is the same talent the best Indian startups are hiring.
We position on clarity, not cost. Never on arbitrage. Atlas exists because companies that need Indian engineering talent shouldn't have to choose between offshore vendors and figuring out global payroll on their own.
Every Atlas engineer comes through Knovia's verification ladder. No exceptions.
Engagement models designed around permanent establishment exposure.
L5 through staff. Tech leads. Founding engineers. Not high-volume contractor pools.
Before any of the products, there was the work — placing engineers into companies that couldn't afford to mis-hire. It still pays the bills, still teaches us what's broken, and still ships the most reliable hires in the market.
Tech staffing across India and the US, full-time and flexible, remote-first by default. Our recruiters work the way good recruiters always have — map the team's actual problem, find the four people who can solve it — but with a stack underneath them no other agency in India operates with.
Atlas runs the talent intelligence. Knovia handles verification. guIDE settles the assessment question. The recruiter spends their time on judgment, not coordination — and the candidate gets to you weeks faster than anywhere else.
Best fit for series B and beyond, scale-ups rebuilding platform teams, and global teams hiring senior India ICs. If we don't think we'll find them, we say so on day three. Not month three.
L5 through staff. Tech leads. Architects. Founding engineers.
Atlas + Knovia + guIDE underneath every conversation. Most agencies don't have any of it.
Tech roles across both markets. Full-time and flexible. Remote-first by default.
Every Neoveda product reads from the same underlying graph — a continuously updated model of skills, roles, certifications, and the relationships between them. Built from real placements, not scraped strings.
Most "skill taxonomies" are zip files of strings. Ours is a living graph — built from every assessment Knovia runs, every placement Neoveda closes, every role transition we observe. Resolves messy human input into structured truth, with confidence scores and adjacency you can actually use.
For talent platforms, sourcing tools, internal mobility products, and the next generation of LLM-powered HR products that need more than embeddings. Early-access list opens shortly.
Knovia.ai live with ~15K organic users. guIDE running validations. Atlas placing engineers into US and EU companies. Staffing operating across India and US. Neohire in internal use.
Knovia Taxonomy public as an API. Neohire opens to design partners. Atlas expands engagement coverage. The first cohort of clients running their entire pipeline through the Neoveda stack.
The trust layer we're building becomes how good companies hire — not because we marketed it, but because the alternatives stopped being credible.
We take on a small number of new client engagements each quarter. Tell us what you're trying to build and we'll tell you, honestly, whether we can help.
