A trustworthy profile should help an employer distinguish between information supplied by a candidate, information reviewed by a platform, and information actually verified through an applicable process.
Useful profile layers
No single data point proves suitability. Better decisions come from combining several relevant signals.
- Identity information
- Training completion
- Skills assessments
- Work history
- References
- Availability
- Role preferences
Do not overclaim verification
A platform should never label something verified merely because it was entered into a form. Transparency about what has and has not been checked creates more trust than an impressive-looking badge with vague meaning.
