India's first AI-powered skills-based hiring assessment platform moves hiring decisions beyond resumes and interviews, inviting HR leaders to evaluate candidates on real, role-specific scenarios before they decide.
Every hiring decision in India today rests on two signals. A resume, which tells a story someone chose to write. An interview, which tells a story someone chose to perform. Neither confirms whether a candidate can actually do the job. CSB Score, India's first AI-powered skills-based hiring assessment platform, today announced its mission to become hiring's third trust signal alongside CGPA and CIBIL backed by an aggressive 30-day goal: on-boarding 100 HR teams as early adopters.
Hiring managers currently sift through hundreds of resumes for every open role, then rely on a 30-minute interview to decide who joins the team. Good candidates get filtered out by keyword-matching software before a human ever reads their application. Others get through on polish alone. Everyone loses time, and organisations pay for the mismatch months later. CSB Score was built to fix the system not to catch out candidates, and not to second-guess hiring managers.
The platform lets hiring teams create job description based on organization goals and instantly generate a role-specific assessment scenario-based multiple-choice questions and open-ended challenges built for that exact role, not a generic question bank. Candidates complete the assessment through a shared link, with integrity monitoring running throughout. Every submission produces a Hiring Intelligence Report: a CCI™ (CSB Competitive Index) score out of 10, a skill-by-skill breakdown, an integrity signal, and interview questions tailored to that candidate's specific gaps. Hiring managers receive an AI-ranked shortlist instead of a stack of unopened resumes.
For job seekers and employees, CSB Score is free. Candidates across 100+ marketing specialisations can take a weekly skills assessment, build a verified skill profile, and appear on a public leaderboard a chance to be evaluated on what they can do, not only on what their resume says they've done.
CSB Score is currently opening a limited number of demo slots for hiring teams who want early access, as it works toward onboarding 100 HR teams within the next 30 days.
The Vision
Banks don't lend on a handshake. They check a CIBIL score. Universities don't admit on a conversation. They check a CGPA. CSB Score's long-term vision is for hiring to work the same way for “what's your CSB Score” to become as standard a question as “what's your CIBIL score,” and for the resume to become a formality rather than the deciding document. The company isn't building a better resume screener. It's building the score the corporate world checks before it trusts anyone with a role a permanent, portable, skills-based score that follows a professional across companies and years, the same way a credit score does.
“I spent 13 years on the other side of the hiring table, deciding who gets an offer based on a resume and a 30-minute conversation. I've watched good people get filtered out before anyone looked at their work, and I've watched hires that looked perfect on paper fail within 90 days. That's not a candidate problem or a hiring manager problem — it's a signal problem. CGPA tells you what someone studied. CIBIL tells you how someone borrows. Nothing has told hiring managers what someone can actually do. CSB Score is built to be that signal. Skills don't lie.”

“We didn't want to build another resume parser or another interview scheduler. We built an engine that reads a job description the way a hiring manager reads it, generates questions no candidate has seen before, and scores every answer with the same rigor, every time. That consistency is what's been missing from hiring and it's what makes a skills signal actually trustworthy at scale.”
— Rohit Singh, Co-Founder, CSB Score
