Trust & Safety

No fake CVs. No no-shows. Just verified talent.

Every worker on SkillLedger is ID-verified, criminally checked, and reference-called before going live — and we keep tracking after they're hired.

What employers fear — and how we kill it.

Fear

Fake CVs & qualifications

How we fix it

We verify ID, qualifications, and call previous employers before a profile goes live.

Fear

No-shows on the day

How we fix it

Public attendance score on every profile. Repeat no-shows are removed from the platform.

Fear

Fraud & impersonation

How we fix it

Live selfie + SA ID match, criminal record check, and bank account verification for paid roles.

The SkillLedger verification ledger

Six checks. Every worker. Every profile.

01

ID Verification

South African ID is matched against Home Affairs records and a live selfie. We block duplicate accounts.

02

Background Checks

Criminal record check via accredited partner. Driving licence and right-to-work checks where relevant.

03

Reference Checks

Our team phones previous employers listed in the work history and confirms role, dates, and conduct.

04

Verification Badges

Each passed check earns a public badge on the profile so employers see exactly what's been verified.

05

Attendance Score

Every booking is tracked. Showed up on time? Score goes up. No-show? Score drops and the worker is flagged.

06

Employer Reviews

Only employers who paid and completed a job can leave a review. No anonymous, no bot reviews.

POPIA-compliant. Worker-owned data.

We collect only what's needed to verify identity and right to work. Sensitive documents are encrypted, never sold, and workers can request deletion anytime.
