Verification standards

What AIO verification badges mean

Verification is evidence-based, time-limited and revocable. It cannot be purchased. A company badge never guarantees that every listing, project or outcome is genuine; each public job must pass its own current review.

Phone checked

AIO recorded a successful phone-control check. This does not prove company ownership or guarantee a job.

Identity/business checked

AIO privately reviewed an identity or business-basis evidence reference. No document number is published.

Company domain checked

AIO recorded evidence connecting the employer to the displayed company domain. This is not an endorsement.

Production credit checked

AIO reviewed a production credit or professional reference. It does not prove a hiring outcome.

Active verified employer

All required employer checks are current and direct-job publishing is enabled. Each job still requires its own verification.

What no badge proves: A badge is not AIO endorsement, a promise of work or payment, a safety guarantee, or permission to charge applicants. Never pay to audition or apply. Report misleading or unsafe activity immediately.

How badges are controlled

  • Evidence references, reviewer identity, verification method and expiry are stored privately and auditable.
  • The active-employer badge requires every mandatory check and a current unexpired approval.
  • Expired or revoked evidence removes publishing privileges and public badges automatically.
  • Sponsored or Featured means paid/promoted placement only; it never means verified.
