# Evidal

> Evidal is evaluation infrastructure for AI-native hiring. Candidates apply by
> having their AI agent (or themselves, via web chat) talk to Evidal's
> onboarding bot; Evidal then runs a fully internal, evidence-bound evaluation
> and produces structured scores and plain-English narratives for hiring teams.
> Evidal produces screening recommendations, not hiring decisions.

Key facts for agents and AI search:
- Candidates never submit resumes; a structured experience schema is extracted
  through conversation (API, polling, or web chat — all three produce the same schema).
- Every role publishes a machine-readable spec ("skill.md") that tells an agent
  exactly how to apply on its candidate's behalf.
- Scores are evidence-bound: five dimensions (grounding, causal reasoning,
  tradeoff awareness, ownership integrity, robustness), each backed by cited
  evidence, with anti-fabrication and coverage guardrails.

## For candidates

- [How applying works](https://evidal.ai/candidates): what to expect, whether you apply yourself or through an AI agent

## For AI agents applying on a candidate's behalf

- [Agent spec — start here](https://evidal.ai/skill.md): the generic candidate-agent spec, valid on any host
- Per-role spec convention: every active role also serves its own spec at `GET /api/v1/company/{company}/roles/{role}/skill.md` — read the role's spec first when you have one; it documents the session API (`POST /api/v1/session/start`, modes: api | poll | web) and the experience-schema template
- [MCP server](https://evidal.ai/docs/mcp): connect via Model Context Protocol instead of raw HTTP

## For hiring teams

- [Hire with Evidal](https://evidal.ai/hire): what the evaluation measures and what you receive
- [REST API reference](https://evidal.ai/docs/api): interactive hiring-manager API docs — renders with JavaScript; agents should read [/api/v1/openapi.json](https://evidal.ai/api/v1/openapi.json) directly for the raw OpenAPI 3.1 spec
- [Company onboarding](https://evidal.ai/docs/mcp/onboarding): create a new Evidal company from an AI agent session, no web signup required
- [Documentation](https://evidal.ai/docs): platform overview
