Hiring freshers has always been a challenge. While many companies rely on normal interviews to evaluate skills, they often cannot predict professionalism, responsibility, and commitment. Some candidates accept an offer letter but never join. Others may appear skilled but later prove to be careless or irresponsible. Unfortunately, unlike experienced candidates, freshers don’t have a track record from previous employers. This leads to wasted time, resources, and money for companies.
CREDO (Candidate Rating for Employability, Discipline & Outlook) is Perpex’s complete solution to this problem. Think of it like a CIBIL score, but for candidates. Instead of just testing technical skills, CREDO evaluates a candidate’s attitude, professionalism, responsibility, and reliability during their structured internship journey with Perpex.
Why CREDO Matters for Companies
With CREDO, employers can finally identify who is professional and reliable before making a hire. This rating system ensures that companies spend their valuable resources only on candidates who are serious about their career and committed to workplace responsibilities.
- Filter out candidates who are careless or irresponsible.
- Save time and money spent on no-shows and unprofessional hires.
- Gain confidence in hiring freshers who are job-ready and dependable.
Why CREDO Benefits Candidates
CREDO is not just for companies—it’s also designed to help good candidates shine. Many talented and professional freshers lose opportunities because of the poor reputation created by careless candidates. With CREDO, employers can clearly see who has demonstrated responsibility, consistency, and professionalism.
This levels the playing field and gives serious and skilled candidates more chances to succeed.
How CREDO Works
Perpex is a 3-month structured internship platform that goes beyond traditional internships. During this period, candidates are evaluated on multiple factors such as:
- Attendance & Consistency – Did the candidate show up regularly and participate actively?
- Responsibility – Did they complete tasks, tests, and follow instructions on time?
- Commitment – Did they stay engaged even with college or other responsibilities?
- Communication – Did they inform in advance if they couldn’t join or had valid reasons?
- Professional Attitude – Did they behave responsibly and treat the program seriously?
- Technical Skills – Were they able to demonstrate their skills through tasks and projects?
Tracked Points & Behaviors
| Point Tracked | Description |
|---|---|
| Lack of Responsibility in Application Process | Candidates who apply but fail to complete the required next steps (such as attending the test, submitting documents, or following instructions) receive negative marks. This indicates a lack of responsibility and professionalism, helping employers identify candidates who may not be reliable. |
| Did Not Join After Offer |
The candidate received an offer letter but chose not to join without proper communication. This reflects a lack of commitment and reliability,
which may impact their credibility with future employers.
NB: If you are unable to join due to any valid reason (such as receiving another offer or personal/business obligations), you should report it through this form . Doing so will earn you positive points and exclude you from receiving negative marks. |
| Balanced Commitment | The candidate maintained 50–75% attendance even while managing college or other responsibilities. This shows good time management, dedication, and a willingness to prioritize professional growth. |
| Consistent and Reliable | The candidate maintained more than 75% attendance, showing strong dedication, reliability, and professionalism. Their consistent participation reflects a serious approach to responsibilities and a dependable work ethic. |
| Professional & Responsible | The candidate informed us in advance about not joining. This demonstrates professionalism, responsibility, and a serious approach to their career. It shows they read instructions carefully and respect the process. |
