PortfolioU is where East African students publish real work and employers hire from it. Verified projects, not padded CVs — so the first interview is about fit, not credibility.
Students get seen for what they can do. Employers get signal instead of noise. The features below serve both.
Work is checked against its source — repos, live links, commit history — so "I built this" actually means something.
A profile is a body of work, not a list of adjectives. Case studies, demos, and outcomes up front.
Filter by skill, stack, and demonstrated outcomes — then sort by match, not by who paid for a boost.
Build a shortlist with your team, leave notes, and move candidates through stages without leaving the app.
Push candidates straight into Greenhouse, Lever, or your spreadsheet of record. No copy-paste.
Free hosting for student projects with clean share links — good enough to put in an application anywhere.
Every project is linked to evidence — a repository, a deployment, a commit trail. PortfolioU checks the link and gives a confidence signal, so employers don't have to take anyone's word for it.
const proof = await portfoliou.verify({ repo: "github.com/amina/rentflow-ui", live: "https://amina.dev/rentflow", }); // → commits authored · deploy reachable · ✓ { verified: true, confidence: 0.94 }
Students start free. Employers see proof before the first call.
