LinkedIn is taking a big step to fight back against fake job posts on its platform.
The social media platform is starting to verify user profiles to ensure recruiters are actually who they say they are.
“The verification badge on your profile indicates that you were able to confirm specific information about your account,” says LinkedIn. “Having verified information helps provide authenticity signals to others that you’re who you say you are. Seeing verified information on others’ profiles helps foster a trusted community so you can make more informed decisions around connecting with other professionals.”
