Government ID verification
Every candidate completes an ID check before their profile becomes visible to employers. The person you see on the profile is the person who shows up.
Trust & verification
Trust and verification in hiring
The Vetano promise
Every candidate on Vetano is identity-verified and shown on video before an interview is ever scheduled. Every employer is business-verified before posting. That is what Vetano means, vetted talent, now.
This page is maintained by Vetano to answer common questions about how Vetano verifies people and protects data. It is not a third-party audit or certification.
The six layers of Vetano trust
Liveness on skill videos
Skill videos are recorded in the Vetano app with liveness signals, so employers see a real person demonstrating real ability, not a stock clip or a stand-in.
Employer verification
Employers verify their business before posting. Talent knows the person on the other side of the message is a real hiring manager at a real business.
Anti-fraud and duplicate account controls
Vetano flags duplicate accounts, mismatched IDs, and unusual activity, and removes profiles that fail verification. Employers see fewer ghost applications and no-shows.
Responsible, EEOC-aligned hiring
Vetano documents anti-bias practices, keeps evaluation focused on skill and presence, and gives employers guidance on lawful, fair screening. See the Responsible Hiring page for details.
Data handling you can point to
Personal information is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is scoped, and Vetano publishes a Data Processing Addendum, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Settings you can review before signing up.

Common questions about trust and verification
How does Vetano verify a candidate's identity?
Candidates complete an ID verification step in the Vetano app before their profile becomes visible to employers. The check compares a government-issued ID to a live selfie so the profile is tied to a real, identifiable person.
What stops fake profiles on Vetano?
Identity verification, liveness checks on video recordings, duplicate-account detection, and manual review of flagged activity. Profiles that fail verification are not shown to employers.
How do employers verify candidates before an interview?
Every profile shows the verification badge, an intro video, and skill videos. Employers can review presence, communication, and demonstrated ability before scheduling any interview time.
Does Vetano verify employers too?
Yes. Employers verify their business before posting. Talent can see that the person messaging them represents a real business, not a scam listing.
Is Vetano compliant with EEOC and fair-hiring laws?
Vetano is designed around EEOC-aligned practices, evaluations focused on demonstrated skill and presence rather than protected characteristics, and documented guidance for employers. See the Responsible Hiring page for the full framework.
What happens to my ID and personal data?
Personal information is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is scoped to what Vetano needs to run verification and the marketplace, and retention follows the Privacy Policy. Vetano publishes a Data Processing Addendum for employer customers.
How does Vetano prevent bias in hiring?
Vetano surfaces demonstrated skill on video and structured profile fields rather than proxies for background. The Responsible Hiring page details the anti-bias framework and employer guidance.
Can a candidate be rejected without a reason?
Employers can decline candidates for legitimate job-related reasons. Vetano provides guidance and templates to help employers communicate outcomes respectfully and lawfully.
What if a candidate's identity does not verify?
Their profile stays private until verification succeeds. If verification cannot be completed, the account does not become visible to employers.
Who do I contact about a trust or security concern?
