- Parcision — Parcision revolutionizes the hiring process on Wall Street by introducing a crucial element: quantifiable skill. The current Wall Street hiring practice puts too much emphasis on alma mater and network connection, which deters many candidates. We aim to establish a quantitative approach that enables individuals from all backgrounds to assess theirskills and demonstrate their accuracy in analyzing critical market events, such as company earnings and economic announcements. We firmly believe that regardless of identity, sex, race, location, or educational background, everyone deserves an equal opportunity to pursue a rewarding career in the financial industry. Through our blind hiring and skills-first approach, we hope to change the DNA of Wall Street.To achieve this, we harness the power of Web 3 technology, specifically smart contracts, to facilitate and oversee tamper-proof tests that quantify candidates' analytical capabilities. By leveraging this advanced technology, we ensure a transparent, auditable, and provable performance metric for participants. The most accomplished participants are duly acknowledged financially and reputationally based on their exceptional proficiency. This recognition is facilitated through participants' undeniable track records on Parcision.Parcision is chess for financial analysts.
