ProjectsYard lets you create discoverable portfolios in 15 mins. Candidates present real project work in a searchable, recruiter-facing directory organized by skills, not keywords. They turn resumes and decks into structured STAR showcases using AI in seconds. Recruiters run semantic searches, paste job descriptions to find matches, and compare candidates with standardized formats and match scores. ProjectsYard replaces scattered portfolios with a skills-first talent layer.

ProjectsYard lets you create discoverable portfolios in 15 mins.
Candidates present real project work in a searchable, recruiter-facing directory organized by skills, not keywords. They turn resumes and decks into structured STAR showcases using AI in seconds. Recruiters run search for candidates based on skills backed by real projects and real impact instead of shallow resume pointers. ProjectsYard replaces scattered portfolios with a discoverable skills-first talent layer.

Please do reach out to hello@projectsyard.com with any feedback or suggestions. We spent a lot of time refining the UX of creating your own sharable tech portfolio. would love to hear from you now
This hits close to home. I’ve spent a lot of time polishing portfolio and project pages, and the reality is most people skim them quickly.
My friend spent 10 hours making a portfolio, and barely anyone knows it exists. Do you think you can add a feature to convert resumes to portfolio? That would be very useful.
Hey, thats an awesome idea. @venkata_himakar_yanamandra can take this up.
We will add that to our platform soon. ✌️
The biggest hurdle for most creators isn't building the portfolio—it's getting it in front of the right eyes. Love that you've baked 'discoverability' directly into the infrastructure. It’s the difference between a static site and a career tool. Make sure to work on the mobile UI. Upvoted!
@iambel0ved Thanks a lot for the feedback!
We are working on the Mobile UI next and will be up by the end of the month. We will reach out with updates!
Glad you like the discoverability aspect of the platform, exactly what we set out to improve.
The "skills not keywords" framing is the right insight. When I hire, I want to see what someone actually built and the impact it had, not just that they "led" something. The STAR format standardization is clever because it forces candidates to be specific about outcomes rather than vague about responsibilities. Question: how are you handling the cold start problem for recruiters? Is there enough candidate density to make searches useful from day one?

Hi Philip,
Thank you for your feedback.
To answer your question, We are making the platform available for candidates first, and onboarding recruiters after we reach a certain threshold. Being from CMU, we are enrolling a lot of top CS and PM undergrads and grad students.
We have solid infrastructure in place offering REST APIs that make it easy for recruiters to integrate to their existing hiring workflows like eightfold or greenhouse to reduce friction.
