FirstTask
Proof of work, not resumes

Interview-ready is not work-ready.

FirstTask is the marketplace where companies post real paid micro-tasks and students complete them for real money. Every finished task becomes permanent, verified proof on a public profile — so hiring is based on work done, not interviews performed.

The loop

How FirstTask works

A simple loop that turns real work into real opportunity.

Companies post real tasks

A landing page, a set of creatives, a research sheet, a data cleanup — real micro-tasks with real budgets and deadlines.

Students do the work, get paid

Apply with your pitch, get picked, deliver. Payment is locked up front and released when the company approves your work.

Proof gets you hired

Every completed task becomes a verified entry on your public proof profile. Companies hire the people whose work they have already seen.

Role tracks + AI senior

Train with a senior, not a tutorial

Pick your track — Frontend, Backend, Data, Design. An AI senior hands you real industry scenarios, grades your approach like a design review, and shows you how a pro would do it.

28 real-world scenarios: outages, slow queries, leaky pipelines, dropping funnels

Rubric-based feedback on correctness, approach, industry practices and completeness

Every passed scenario becomes verified proof on your public profile

Work-ready, not interview-ready

Resumes describe what someone claims they can do. Proof shows what they actually did.

The resume says

  • Self-reported skills with no evidence
  • Interviews that test talking, not doing
  • References you cannot verify

The proof shows

  • Completed tasks, verified by the company that paid for them
  • Real deliverables, real deadlines, real money
  • A public profile that compounds with every task

For students and early professionals

Stop sending resumes into the void. Earn money doing real work, and let every task build the profile that gets you hired.

  • Paid micro-tasks across development, design, content, research, data and marketing
  • Practice tasks with grading rubrics to sharpen skills before paid work
  • A public proof profile that employers can trust

For companies

Stop gambling on interviews. See candidates do the actual work before you hire them — or just get the task done.

  • Post a task in minutes, fund it securely, release payment on approval
  • Review real submissions from motivated early professionals
  • Hire from verified proof profiles when you find someone great
