Sociable: LinkedIn announces verification for recruiters to help address scam pitches

LinkedIn has announced a new verification badge for recruiters in the app, which will help to address the raft of recruitment scams and spammy outreach.

As you can see in these examples, recruiters will now be able to confirm their identity in order to get a new in-stream badge that confirms they are who they say.

Recruiters will be able to confirm their identity via LinkedIn Recruiter, which will soon include this as an optional process, similar to LinkedIn’s ID confirmation system for regular users, which provides a verification tick, denoting that the user has gone through the ID process.

LinkedIn launched its free user verification process in April last year, which sees LinkedIn working with third party ID verification providers in different regions to confirm the details of users.

Which, as you can see, adds a similar tick icon to your profile in the app, alerting other members that you are, indeed, a real person, and not a bot account set up to steal user data.

That’s helped to add extra assurance to the process, and LinkedIn says that it has had an impact on overall engagement, with verified profiles seeing 60% more profile views, 50% more comments and reactions on their posts, and 30% more messages.

Which is why this expansion makes sense, while it’ll also, as noted, help LinkedIn combat the rise of scammy recruiting pitches in the app.
