The Verification Process: Your Digital Professional Passport

What is a Request Verification?

A request verification on Calyptus is more than just a recommendation – it's a blockchain-verified credential that transforms how employers view your professional profile. Our extensive analysis into employer preferences when hiring indicate that 70% of employers prefer candidates referred by trusted contacts, making your professional network your most valuable asset.

Ideally the best time to request a verification is right after completing a significant project or role. You are now building a comprehensive professional profile and you need to enhance your visibility in employer search results.

How to Request a verification

There are two verification steps on Calyptus. The first one is focused on your skills while the second one is focused on your experience. Both are very important in enhancing your visibility to employers.

  1. Skills Verification
  2. Any professional contact with a work email can verify your skills. This means you are not limited to colleagues at your previous work place, even a friend whom you have worked with on a project can vouch for your skills. They will be able to see all the skills you have listed and they can mark the skills they have observed you are proficient at. It is recommended to have atleast 2+ references which in turn also increases your profile’s match score with jobs aside from boosting your visibility to employers.
  3. Experience verification
  4. This verifier must come from someone who is currently employed at any of your previous or current workplaces. If you are reluctant to share with colleagues that you are looking for work, you can verify your own experience as long as you still have access to that work email.
  5. This gives you credibility to an employer that you worked where you mention having worked at.

Best Practices for Verification

Try to maintain strong professional relationships. This doesn’t mean that you necessarily have to go on dates and hangouts with your colleagues. Ways you can maintain professional relationships are:

  • Demonstrating reliability by keeping promises, commitments and delivering high quality work.
  • Communication is key. Be clear, concise and respectful in all interactions.
  • Show genuine interest.
  • Professional networking by doing simple things like sharing industry standards.
  • Be willing to provide references or verify someone when requested.

When sending your verification request, be transparent and provide context in the message.

Don’t slack on regularly updating your profile with new credentials.
