We've rebuilt the way hiring works. Hiring still runs on self-claims. A CV says whatever someone types into it, and the recruiter has to take it on faith, so candidates send out a hundred applications and hear nothing back. On WorkID you verify your identity and work experience. Companies see a profile that has been checked, not a list of claims, and the vetting is done before the first screening. We then match you to the roles you actually fit. Free to start. For hiring globally.

@thorhesselberg A trust score for candidates makes a lot of sense especially for high-volume roles. nice launch
WorkID.ai
@priya_kushwaha1 Thanks! High-volume hiring is exactly where we think it can make a real difference. When you have hundreds of applicants, having verified data and a Trust Score upfront gives recruiters a much better starting point for deciding where to spend their time before inviting into the first interview.
@thorhesselberg no, and not for the reason you are probably defending against. the screening call was never where i check whether the cv is true. it is where i work out whether i want to spend a year sitting near this person, and verification does not touch that at all.
WorkID.ai
@rabnoor_s Fair point - and that’s exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. If the screening call for you is primarily about the person rather than validating what’s on the CV, then verification shouldn’t replace it.
Perhaps the better question is whether having identity and professional history verified beforehand lets you skip some of the CV interrogation and spend that first conversation entirely on the human being and whether you actually want to work together. That may be where the line sits?
@thorhesselberg yes, and that is a better framing than the one i gave you. the caveat is that the cv interrogation i actually do is not about dates or titles. it is working out whether the thing they describe owning was a thing they owned, and verified employment does not reach that. that part is most of the call.

@vipul_kumar1280 Thanks! So far, the biggest challenge isn’t the verification itself, but getting candidates to understand why it’s worth doing before they’re asked to by an employer.
Once they see that they verify once, own the data and can reuse it across future applications, it makes much more sense. That behaviour change is probably the interesting part for us to solve.

How do you actually verify employments?
WorkID.ai
@naimz thanks for a great question. We verify it at the source. The user/candidate adds their employment history, and WorkID connects the claim to the relevant employer for confirmation (direct manager or HR represenative). Once confirmed, it becomes verified data within the candidate’s WorkID that can be reused in all future applications. Rather than having every new future employer verify the same employment history again.

The screenshot shows candidates with a score out of 100 - what's actually feeding that number? If it's still built on self-reported resume data plus some cross-checking, that's not really solving the trust problem, just adding a confidence label on top of the same self-claims. Genuinely curious what the verification step involves.
WorkID.ai
@galdayan Great question, and I agree. A self reported CV with a score on top would not solve anything.
The candidate starts by adding their information, but that does not make it verified. Identity is verified using ID and liveness checks or govermental approved eID. Employment history is confirmed by the relevant previous employer (HR) or manager. Other references can also be independently confirmed.
The Trust Score is based on how much of the profile has actually been verified. It is not a score of how good the candidate is. The whole point is to make it clear what someone claims and what has actually been verified at the source.
