ID-verified video references.

How it works

• For candidates: Tap Invite on your profile and send the link to someone who has seen you work. They record a short video and verify their ID. Nothing goes live until you approve it, and you can remove it anytime.
• For the person vouching: No talent or employer account needed. Confirm your phone, record a short video, verify your government ID. About three minutes. You choose whether employers can contact you, and you can revoke the reference anytime.
• For employers: Ask for references in any job post. Each one is a real, ID-verified person who has seen the candidate work, on the profile before the first interview.

A reference used to be a phone number nobody called.

What we verify, plainly

We verify the identity of the person giving the reference against their government ID. We don't verify their employment history or the relationship they describe, and this isn't a background check. The candidate approves every reference, and either person can remove it at any time.

Questions about references

• Do referrers need an account? No talent or employer account is needed. The person giving the reference confirms their phone number, records a short video and verifies their government ID.
• Who can see a reference? Employers who view the candidate's Vetano profile, and only after the candidate approves the reference.
• Can a reference be removed? Yes. The candidate can remove a reference at any time, and the person who gave it can revoke it at any time.
• Is there a cost? Giving a reference is free. Creating a profile, collecting references and applying for jobs are free for candidates.
• Can employers contact the referrer? Only if the person giving the reference chooses to allow it.

Run a school or training program? Instructors can vouch for graduates. Ready to hire? Post a job.

Proof last. Or proof first.

Without Vetano: Resume, self-reported. Phone screen, sounds right. Interview 1, talks about the work. Interview 2, talks about it again. Interview 3, panel, references by phone. Hire, still unproven. Day 1: Proof, you find out if they can do the job.

With Vetano: Proof, ID verified, skill and references on video. Resume, optional. Phone screen, optional. Interview, confirms what you already saw. Hire, no surprises on Day 1. Vetano moves proof to the front.
