Scoring priorities for EdTech
Every point of the score maps to an evidence quote from the CV. Dimensions, weights and critical requirements are shown alongside each candidate — the score supports judgment, it doesn't replace it.
What we evaluate in EdTech hires
Dimensions specific to EdTech — not a generic checklist.
Dimension
Audience served
K-12, higher-ed, workforce or consumer — captured explicitly with named districts or institutions.
Strong signal
A edtech CV that names its audience served outright: the work, the dates, the scope it owned, and something a reference can confirm.
Watch-out
Audience served asserted for edtech with nothing named behind it — no dates, no scope, no way to tell individual work from team credit.
How TaaSFlow validates
Every edtech match against this signal is tied to a quoted CV line and reviewed before the shortlist reaches you.
Other EdTech dimensions

Platform configuration
How TaaSFlow is configured for edtech hiring
Same platform, same objects, different configuration — Engineering and product. Depth of production skill carries the rubric; credentials carry very little.

Requirements
Requirement patterns captured at intake
- Named languages, frameworks and clouds with years of production use
- Ownership scope: services owned, on-call, incident command
- Scale markers: traffic, data volume, users, cost envelope
- Work model and timezone overlap as a first-class requirement
Evidence
Evidence types extracted from the CV
- Systems owned
- Named services with production ownership, quoted from the CV.
- Architecture decisions
- Trade-offs stated on the CV, with the alternative rejected.
- Scale and reliability
- Latency, availability and incident numbers, not adjectives.
- Delivery record
- Shipped work with dates, scope and measurable outcome.

- Skills sit at the ceiling of the allowed range because stack depth is the discriminator.
- Credentials sit at the floor: certifications rarely predict engineering outcomes.
- Adjacent stacks are scored as adjacency, with the gap stated rather than hidden.
Compliance
Compliance handled in the workflow
- Security programme exposure
- SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS scope recorded where the role touches it.
- Data handling
- GDPR-aware handling flagged for roles working on EU or UK personal data.
- Right to work and location
- Work authorisation and timezone captured as hard requirements when the role demands them.
Approval controls
Who has to agree before anything moves
Fast configuration: one reviewer, evidence verification on, no second approver on stage moves.
- Approval before client visibility
- No candidate appears in a client workspace until a reviewer approves them for that specific role.
- Evidence verification
- Extracted evidence is reviewable line by line, and a reviewer can confirm or reject each finding before it counts.
- Separate contact release
- Seeing a candidate and seeing their contact details are two different permissions, released independently.
- Reversible decisions
- Client decisions stay reversible for a short window, so a mis-click never becomes a permanent outcome.
- Full audit trail
- Every state change records who did it, when, and against which rubric version.
