Four kinds of evidence
| Evidence | What it tells you | What it does not tell you |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Work the worker says they did, with photos | Who else worked on it |
| Skills Demonstrated ✓ | Practical evidence for a specific skill | Every related skill |
| Credentials & Checks ✓ | Nauie reviewed a specific document | That the person is right for every job |
| Recommendations | A team's account of working with this person | Customer satisfaction on other jobs |
Read them together
Look for consistency: does the portfolio match the skills listed? Are the recommendations from teams that worked in similar jobs? Ask the worker about anything unclear — good workers are happy to explain their work.
