The Standard · v1.0

A credential
the industry
didn’t have.

Four layers. One score. Three tiers. The Promptintern Standard is the only intern credential built from first principles for how teams actually hire — not how CVs pretend they do.

Why it exists

Resumes broke. Nobody fixed it.

Every hiring manager admits it in private: intern CVs are noise. Same templates, same buzzwords, same projects. The Promptintern Standard is the first credential that replaces self-reporting with assessed, observable signal — across the four dimensions that actually predict performance.

01

Built for hiring, not gatekeeping

Every layer maps to a behaviour a manager will see in week one.

02

Transparent by design

The full rubric is public. No secret scoring, no black-box ranking.

03

One badge, portable everywhere

Earn it once. Use it across every application, profile, and intro.

The system

Four layers. Each one measures what the others can’t.

LAYER 1

Real-world task

48h · async

Weight
40
  • Reads a brief and finds the real goal
  • Ships output a teammate could actually use
  • Reasons from the user, not the rubric

Why this layer: Day-three-on-the-job work, not leetcode. The most predictive single signal in the entire system.

LAYER 2

Soft-skills video

5–10 min

Weight
25
  • Explains thinking out loud, without rehearsal
  • Listens to constraints instead of ignoring them
  • Coachable under critique

Why this layer: Technical talent gets the interview. Communication and humility get the offer.

LAYER 3

Setup & environment

async check

Weight
20
  • Stable internet, working webcam, sharable screen
  • Comfortable in modern collab tools
  • Operates without hand-holding

Why this layer: Remote-first is the default. We pre-clear the small frictions that quietly cost teams hours.

LAYER 4

Live round

30 min · synchronous

Weight
40
  • Thinks under real-time pressure
  • Asks sharp questions, not waiting for instructions
  • Curious, not performative

Why this layer: The last filter. Async polish is one thing. How you show up live is the other.

Scoring

One score. Out of 125.

Every candidate gets a single, comparable number — built from the same rubric, scored by trained reviewers, and visible end-to-end.

Credentials

Three tiers. No ambiguity.

Your score maps directly to one of three badges — portable, verifiable, and visible on every company-facing surface.

E

Elite

Top 1% · 95 – 125

Exceptional across every layer. The rare hire teams reorganise to make room for.

V

Verified

Gold standard · 70 – 94

Cleared the bar. Ships meaningful work from week one, with no hand-holding.

R

Rising

High potential · 50 – 69

Sharp instincts with clear gaps. A high-growth bet worth securing early.

Below 50: no badge issued. Not a judgement — the profile simply doesn’t yet meet the standard we’re willing to stand behind. Reapplication welcome after 3 months.

Why nothing else compares

The only intern credential built like this.

Resumes describe. Generic tests measure trivia. Bootcamps issue completion certificates. None of them tell a hiring manager what they actually want to know.
