Trust & privacy

A trust layer has to be trustworthy first.

VERYFY only works if professionals trust us with their evidence and employers trust what our verification means. This page explains how both hold up.

Our commitments

What we will and will not do with your evidence.

You own your evidence

Everything on your profile was produced by you. You decide what is added, what is submitted for verification, and what stays private.

You control visibility and contact

You set whether your profile is link-only, visible to matched employers, or hidden — and whether employers can contact you at all. Both can be changed or withdrawn at any time.

VERYFY'D means checked

We never mark a capability as VERYFY'D on self-assertion alone. If evidence cannot be substantiated, the claim stays unverified rather than being quietly upgraded.

Evidence is not sold

Your evidence is not sold, licensed or used to train models for third parties. It exists to support your capability profile.

Your controls

Nothing is visible unless you decide it is.

Professionals hold every switch on VERYFY. You choose who can see your profile, what appears on it, and whether employers can contact you at all — and you can change any of it at any time.

  • Set your profile to link-only, matched employers only, or hidden
  • Decide whether employers can message you, and for what kind of role
  • Show or hide individual items — credentials, location, work history
  • Keep evidence in your library without publishing it
  • See which employers viewed your profile, and withdraw visibility
  • Export or delete everything, whenever you want

  • Credentials hidden
  • Location hidden

How verification works

A claim is not a capability until it has been checked.

Every capability follows the same path: you claim it, you attach evidence, that evidence is checked through a method appropriate to the claim, and only then is the capability published as VERYFY'D.

Methods differ by evidence type — confirming a role with an employer of record, reviewing submitted work, validating a credential with its issuer, or an employer's review of completed Work. The method used is recorded against the claim.

Where something cannot be substantiated, it stays visible as unverified. We would rather show an honest gap than a soft approval.

AI agents

No agent decides anything about you.

Employers can run sourcing, assessment and screening agents on VERYFY. Those agents organise evidence you have already chosen to publish — they never create it, and they work inside the controls you set above.

  • Verification stays human

    An agent can evaluate a submission and recommend. Only the employer who reviewed your work can mark it VERYFY'D.

  • Your settings bind the agents

    A hidden profile is never sourced. If you are not open to being contacted, no agent invites you to anything.

  • You are told when it is AI

    Assessment invitations say the challenge was drafted by an agent. A screening interview says plainly that the interviewer is AI.

  • Declining is not penalised

    You can ask for a human conversation instead of an AI screening. It is not recorded as a withdrawal.

What we hold

Who can see what.

  • Profile basics — name, title, locationVisible to employers you match with or share your profile link with
  • Capabilities and verification statusVisible on your profile, including which claims are unverified
  • Evidence items — work, projects, credentialsVisible only where you attach them to a published capability
  • Verification recordsHeld by VERYFY as the basis for a VERYFY'D status; source documents are not republished
  • Employer activity — views, messagesVisible to you; employers see their own team’s activity

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to verification records is limited to the team performing checks, and every access is logged.

Your rights

You can export your evidence, correct any record, withdraw a published capability or delete your account and its verification history at any time.
