Prove yourself.
Get rewarded.
Verified is not a CV check. It is the result of satisfied clients.
Get 3 recommendations in a competency, and you can apply for your Verified badge in that exact competency.

A mark,
not a check.
A freelancer can be Verified in Branding but not in Web Design — giving clients real clarity.

From recommendations
to Verified badge.
Three steps. It starts with your clients.
Prove yourself on the platform.
Deliver outstanding work. Get 3 client recommendations in the same competency. That is the first and biggest step.
Apply for Verified.
Once you have 3/3 in a competency, you can apply. You choose which competencies to get verified in — you do not need to apply for all at once.
A brief conversation.
We invite you to a 15–20 min video call. We talk about your experience, workflow, and what you are strongest at. Approved? You get your Verified badge on the applied competency.
Concrete benefits,
when you are Verified.
One badge per competency, not per profile.
The badge is shown next to each competency you are verified in. Clients see exactly where you have proved yourself — not just that you exist.
Priority in search results
Verified freelancers appear higher when clients search for talent.
