LinkedIn announced a set of new verification options Thursday, including the expansion of its Company Page verification, as it seeks to build more authenticity, trust, and credibility on its platform.

The professional network said companies with a Premium Company Page subscription will be eligible for the Company Page verification badge. This feature was previously available to a limited number of organizations, as well as by request.

Other business-level verifications being introduced include recruiters and talent acquisition specialists verifying their workplace on their profile. The addition of this badge helps recruiters build trust with potential candidates and also protects those clients from scams or fraudulent accounts. 

Finally, LinkedIn is introducing a C-suite verification feature, including executive director, managing director, and vice president. This badge helps prevent executive impersonation, along with protecting the integrity of leadership representation on the platform.

“These updates help ensure that the people and organizations you engage with on LinkedIn are who they say they are,” LinkedIn vice president of product Oscar Rodriguez said in a statement. He added that these features strengthen “trust across every interaction, whether you’re a business building credibility, a recruiter interacting with job seekers, or an executive representing your company.”
