    Vetano

    For trade schools and workforce boards

    A placement option for your completers

    Vetano is a verification-first hiring platform. Candidates record short proof of their skill on video, verify their identity against a government ID, and employers hire from that. Free for candidates. Employers pay to post. Nothing for the institution to buy, sign, or integrate.

    The handout is ready in English and Spanish, and we can personalize it with your institution's name and code.

    See an ID-verified video reference.

    Instructors can record a short video reference for each graduate, right on the graduate's Vetano profile. The instructor verifies their own ID first, so employers know the reference is real.

    Your graduates have the skills employers say they can't find. Vetano lets them prove it.

    Employers are hiring: the construction industry alone needs 349,000 new workers in 2026 (Associated Builders and Contractors, January 2026).

    of hiring managers say AI makes it too easy to exaggerate on a resume.

    What your completers do

    • Create a free profile in the Vetano app
    • Verify their identity against a government ID
    • Record a short intro video
    • Record a proof-of-skill video of their actual work
    • Apply to jobs, free

    What employers see

    • Identity confirmed against a government ID
    • An intro video in the candidate's own words
    • The work itself on video, before any interview
    • Certifications the candidate lists on their profile

    On the employer side, the person who creates a company account verifies their identity against a government ID. Company-level verification through DUNS and similar checks is coming, and we will say so when it is live.

    What Vetano does not do

    • No background checks
    • No credit checks
    • No license or credential verification
    • No employment eligibility verification
    • Not an employer of record

    We will tell you what happened

    Your institution gets its own code. Every student who signs up through it is counted to you, so you are not guessing whether this worked.

    Each month we send you two numbers for your campus: profiles created, and identity verifications completed.

    Hires are marked by employers in the app, so we cannot promise a complete count. When one is reported for a student who came through your code, we pass it along.

    Each reported hire comes from the employer, so it is a record your team can use alongside its own placement documentation.

    No student names, no individual records, unless a student asks us to share theirs with you. Students enroll themselves, so your institution never sends us an education record.

    Ask for your institution code

    Where employer demand is today

    Employer demand is concentrated in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey right now, and it is expanding city by city. If your campus sits outside those areas, tell us where your students are and we will be straight with you about what they will find today.

    Wherever your graduates are, they can attach their Vetano profile link to any job application, so their verified identity, skill videos and references go with them.

    For your newsletter or LMS, ready to paste

    Vetano is a free app where you can get hired without a resume. You verify your identity, record a short intro, and record yourself doing the work, so an employer sees your skill before any interview. Start here: https://vetano.com/for-schools#for-students

    Proof before the interview

    Employers see every applicant ID verified and showing the work on video before any interview.
