Employment Profile & Digital CV

A verified digital CV — employment history, qualifications, and references all confirmed by employers and institutions. No more fake CVs.

Section 1

Overview

What is it?

Employment Profile is your verified digital CV on IDFlow. Your employment history, qualifications, certifications, and references are all verified by the employers and institutions who issued them — no more fake CVs or exaggerated qualifications.

What does it do?

When you apply for a job, you share your verified Employment Profile via ConsentPass™. Employers see verified employment history, qualifications, and references — instantly, with no background check delays.

Why was it created?

CV fraud is rampant — fake qualifications, exaggerated experience, and fabricated references. Background checks take weeks. Employers can't verify information quickly. IDFlow was created to bring trust to recruitment.

Who is it designed for?

Job seekers, employers, recruitment agencies, HR departments, and professional bodies.
