Your identity is now a qualification.

Bind your résumé to the identity you verified. It is free for job seekers.

  1. 1

    Prove you are real

    Government ID and a liveness check confirm you are a person, not a fabricated profile.

  2. 2

    Bind a résumé

    TrustMark signs one résumé version to that identity, so it cannot be swapped later.

Two TrustMarks, one link each

One says a verified person exists. The other says this exact résumé came from them.

SR-4F2M-8KQT

Candidate TrustMark

Issued when your identity check passes. Put it in your email signature or on your LinkedIn profile.

  • Says a verified person is behind your name
  • Shows the month you joined
  • Opens your profile in the verified directory for recruiters
SR-7Q3K-X9PD

Résumé TrustMark

One per signed résumé version. Its QR code is printed on the PDF before it is signed.

  • Carries the version, page count and signing date
  • Publishes the file's fingerprints, not your name
  • Lets anyone check a PDF in the browser without uploading it

You can replace either link at any time. The old link, code and QR stop working at once, even on PDFs you already sent.

Who sees what

Anyone can open your link. Only a verified recruiter sees enough to act on it.

What changes for you

First in line
A verified profile puts you ahead of the unverified pile recruiters no longer have time to read.
A portfolio of résumés
Keep one résumé per kind of role. Each one carries its own TrustMark.
Seen by recruiters only
Your TrustMark opens only for signed-in recruiters at verified companies. Strangers and scrapers get nothing.
Your ID stays yours
Recruiters see your name and that you are verified. Never your identity documents.

What a recruiter can check

Tamper-evident

Your TrustMark PDF carries a digital signature. Drop the file on the TrustMark page and a changed word shows up as no match.

Recruiter-only

Scanning the QR code shows the proof to signed-in recruiters at verified companies, and no one else.

Withdrawn when you are

If your account is locked or your identity no longer checks out, every TrustMark you hold stops showing anything.

Send a résumé a recruiter can check.

Verify once. The résumé you send after that is signed to that verification.
