Hire designers whose work you can verify before the first interview.
Every graduate profile links to jury-assessed portfolio work and a verifiable credential — you're reviewing evidence, not screening resumes.
Hire designers whose work you can verify before the first interview.
The Certified Fast-Track Partner programme
"ADS Certified™ designers get fast-tracked interviews."
That sentence — stated formally, by named companies — is what turns a credential into a hiring standard. We're enrolling the founding cohort of Fast-Track Partners: companies that agree to advance ADS Certified™ holders (CDA–CDM) directly to interviews, skipping resume screens.
What you commit
A fast-track interview policy for credential holders at the levels you choose — and permission to name you as a partner.
What you get
Pre-verified candidates scored against a public rubric, priority access to portfolio days and juries, zero fees — and a hiring filter you didn't have to build.
Why founding partners matter
Founding partners shape the rubric review board and are named first, permanently, wherever the programme is described.
- Zero fees — no employer charges, no placement cuts
- Verified portfolios — jury-assessed case studies with public rubrics
- Portfolio days — meet a cohort, review capstones live, shortlist same-day
- Join a jury — evaluate final projects and meet talent before the market does
- 90-day check-in — we follow up on every placement's performance
