The Portable Trust Profile: How Verified Identity Becomes Reusable
What a Portable Trust Profile is, who owns it, and why reusable verification is the future of professional identity.
A Portable Trust Profile is exactly what it sounds like: a candidate-owned bundle of source-verified credentials that travels with the professional across opportunities. Verify once, reuse everywhere.
Who owns the profile
The candidate. This is non-negotiable. The profile is created with the candidate's consent and shared with employers on a per-opportunity basis — with control over what is shared and for how long.
Why this matters for hiring teams
- Instant trust for already-verified candidates
- Lower duplicated BGV spend
- Faster offer-to-start cycles
- Stronger audit trail than self-reported résumés
Why this matters for candidates
Your work history is one of the most valuable assets you carry into the next role. A Trust Profile turns that history into a portable, verified credential — instead of asking you to re-prove yourself with every new application.
