Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Capstone is a verified, established staffing agency with significant historical traction (Inc. 500 recognition, >$10M estimated revenue based on team size). However, the submission quality is poor, featuring a likely incorrect project name ('GoldenForge') and hyperbolic, unverifiable user claims. As a service business, it scores lower on technical innovation but high on utility and proven business viability.

Description
Capstone is a 100% women owned, staffing and recruiting firm providing professional, technical, analytical, project and strategic talent. As former technology professionals ourselves, we screen deeply for skills, knowledge, scope and experience, then we share our interview notes (similar to retained search firms) with HR and hiring managers. Nine+ times out of ten, our candidates fit 100%. As women in tech, we recognize the value of diversity and culture fit, and seek out hard to find talent. Our delivery process results in reduced screening time and more substantive interviews for hiring managers. We ensure excellent candidate experiences, and the highest quality professional hires. In the words of our clients: “Capstone’s ability to understand the candidate, understand the role and match them together is the best I have come across…” - Ken Sandberg, Director, Subscriber Platform Group Engineering at Autodesk "...Capstone recruiters perform multiple levels of screening candidates which ensures my time as a hiring manager is maximized interviewing and on-boarding only the best." - Eli Potter, VP, Product and Technology, ServiceSource Recognition: • Best Staffing Firms To Work For, Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), 2017 • 100 Top Women Owned Businesses List, 2013/2014/2015/2016/2017, SF Business Times • #250 INC. 500 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies in America, INC.
