Both sides verified: how Vettasy checks the employer, not just the candidate
Before an employer can send a single invitation, Vettasy verifies its domain and its legal entity. How that works, and why a one-sided check is not enough.
Verification runs in both directions. An employer proves it owns its domain and files its legal entity documents, checked by a person within one business day, before it can invite anyone. The candidate sees the same company and interviewer in the invitation email and in the app, and gets a copy of everything afterwards.
Most interview tools check the candidate. Vettasy checks the employer too, and does it first. Before an employer can send a single invitation, it proves that it owns its domain and provides its legal entity documents, and a person reviews them. This is the part of the design that protects candidates, and it is the reason "verified" on an invitation means something.
Why a one-sided check is not enough
An interview has two sides, and a candidate takes on as much risk as the employer. Fake recruiters and staged "HR interviews" are a common way to steal money and personal data, and they work because a video call proves nothing about who is on the other side. A tool that only inspects the candidate's machine leaves that risk untouched.
So verification in Vettasy runs in both directions. The employer is checked before it can invite anyone. The candidate consents to the session and is checked during it. Neither side checks the other alone.
How an employer is verified
Two things are confirmed before the first invitation goes out:
- Domain ownership. The employer proves control of the email domain that invitations are sent from, so an invitation from that domain is genuinely from that company.
- Legal entity. The employer provides its legal entity documents, and a person at Vettasy reviews them, usually within one business day.
Verification is free for the employer. It is a condition of using the product, not an upsell.
What the candidate sees
The candidate does not have to trust the invitation blindly; they can check it against the app. The invitation is sent from the employer's own verified domain and names the interviewer. When the interview starts, the same named interviewer and the verified mark appear in the app. If the invitation's domain or the named interviewer does not match what the app shows, that is the signal to stop. When they match, the candidate knows who is on the other side before joining.
What the candidate gets afterwards
Verification is the start of a symmetric process, not the whole of it. After the interview the candidate receives a copy of the recording, the transcript and the same session report the employer sees, and can dispute any line within 14 days. The employer is checked before the interview; the candidate is checked during it; and both leave with the same record.
What this does not do
Verification confirms that a company is a real, identifiable legal entity that controls its domain. It is not a background check on the individual interviewer beyond their being named by a verified employer, and it does not vouch for how a company hires. It removes the most common way a candidate is deceived, which is not knowing whether the employer is real at all.
