How we check

We check a little at the start and more as things get serious. We never ask for anything that belongs to your employer: no work email, no documents, no screenshots.

To get your read

You confirm a personal email and tell us where you work. We keep a scrambled code in place of your employer's name, and you confirm that what you've told us is true.

Before any introduction

Before a hiring firm learns who you are, we have a short call with you and look at the public work you sent us. Nothing is shared without your say-so.

At offer

The hiring firm runs its own background check, as it would for any hire. That is when your employment is formally confirmed.

Hiring firms are checked too

Every hiring firm is known to us. Each one agrees to keep profiles confidential before it sees one, and never sees your name or employer until you say so.

What we can and can't see

We can see what you type into the form and the link to your work. For your employer we store a scrambled code, not the name. If your work link shows where you work, we keep that to ourselves. We can't see your work email or anything your employer holds, because we never ask for them.
