LinkedIn is committed to fostering authentic and safe experiences for our members. We have introduced a new badge on job posts to indicate that there is verified information about the company and job poster, providing job seekers with more trust signals about the jobs they may be interested in applying for.
When you see a verification badge on a job post, it means that there is information about the company that has been confirmed by LinkedIn, or information about the job poster that has been confirmed by the job poster through LinkedIn or one of our trusted third-party partners. You can tap or click the badge to see all the verifications related to the job post. Please note that applying to a job with a verification badge does not mean you are more likely to be hired or that the job is a better fit for you. Instead, it provides you with more information about the job poster and company.
Currently, LinkedIn supports several forms of verification. The following may show up:
-
Identity verification: The job poster’s government-issued ID has been verified via one of LinkedIn’s verification partners such as CLEAR for US members. Learn more.
-
Workplace verification: The job poster has confirmed information that helps indicate they work at the specific company using work email, Microsoft Entra Verified ID, or a LinkedIn Learning license provided by their company. Learn more.
-
Educational institution verification: The job poster’s association to an educational institution has been verified using an education email or supported LinkedIn Learning license provided by that institution. Learn more.
-
Official company page: LinkedIn believes the LinkedIn company page of the organization posting the job represents the actual business.
Verification badges on jobs are currently being piloted with a select number of LinkedIn Jobs customers, so not all jobs will have them at this time. If you see a job without a verification badge, it does not necessarily mean that the information is incorrect or fraudulent. It may simply mean that the job poster has not gone through the verification process yet, or that the company posting the job does not have access to the feature.
However, it is always a good idea to conduct additional research about the company and position before applying for a job or engaging with a company. Some best practices include researching them online, visiting their official website, and reviewing their social media profiles.
Currently, this feature is being piloted with a select group of LinkedIn Jobs customers. We understand the importance of getting this right, so we are testing this feature and will continue to scale it globally as we learn from this pilot.
