Tempo scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 12 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 8% look like ghost listings, 0% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 96 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed
Overview
Tempo is a blockchain company headquartered in San Francisco, California, and founded in 2025. The company is building a payments focused layer one network designed for stablecoin settlement, with fees payable in stablecoins and throughput targeted at real world transaction volumes rather than speculative trading. It was incubated with backing from Stripe and Paradigm and is aimed at businesses moving money across borders.
