What is a verified CV?

A verified CV is a CV where each line shows what backs it. On a Dossier Verified CV, a line is either document-matched (it matches a work reference, diploma or certificate the candidate provided) or self-declared. Recruiters open a private link to see which is which.

How is a line verified?

The candidate uploads their own documents. Dossier reads them and marks a line document-matched when the employer, job title and start date are all found in a document from someone else, such as a work reference, in the candidate's name.

Does Dossier contact my employer or school?

No. Document-matched means the line matches a document you provided. It is not a background check, and the verify page says so.

What does a recruiter see?

A private page with each line, its level, the type of document behind it and the check date. Never the documents, quotes or contact details. The page is not indexed by search engines, expires, and can be switched off by the candidate.

Why does it matter now?

AI tools write convincing CVs in seconds, including invented experience. Lines backed by documents help a recruiter trust the rest.

Where are my documents processed?

In the EU. They are deleted right after reading; Dossier keeps only a fingerprint of each file and the facts you confirmed, encrypted with a key for your account alone.
