Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Employa is a verifiable US-based HR technology company (est. 2019) offering AI recruitment tools and agency services. While the project has legitimate existence, ~30-50 employees, and positive third-party reviews (e.g., G2, Capterra), the submission itself is of critically low quality. The claims of 'everyone' as the audience and 'most people have used my product' are factually false and heavily penalize the score. External data suggests the company has generated modest traction (likely <$1M annual revenue or valuation based on the ambiguous '500000' figure provided) and user trends appear to be stagnating or falling. The project falls into the 'Minimal traction' category relative to the PoU scale, despite high real-world utility for its specific niche.
