Why Phone Verification Is Required
Phone verification is used to:
Confirm that each candidate has a real and reachable phone number
Prevent duplicate or fake accounts
Improve platform safety and trust
Enable secure account access and recovery if needed
When You Need to Verify Your Phone Number
Phone verification is required during onboarding after registration.
Once you reach the onboarding step for phone verification:
You must complete verification to finish setting up your account
You cannot fully access candidate features until this step is completed
How to Verify Your Phone Number
To verify your phone number:
Enter your phone number during onboarding.
Wait for the verification code (Whatsapp or SMS).
Enter the code in the verification field.
Confirm to complete the process.
Once verified, your account setup will be complete.
Important Notes
Phone verification is mandatory for all candidates
Your phone number is kept private and is not publicly visible
Employers cannot see your phone number
Only your age is shown publicly (not your date of birth)
What Happens After Verification?
Once your phone number is verified:
Your account becomes fully active
You can apply for jobs
You can search and browse listings
You can complete assessments and improve your profile
Troubleshooting
I did not receive the code
If you do not receive the verification code:
Check that your phone number is entered correctly
Ensure your phone has signal reception
Wait a few minutes and try again
Request a new code if available
My verification code is not working
Make sure:
You are entering the most recent code
The code has not expired
You are not using an old SMS message
Request a new code if needed.
Can I change my phone number?
Yes. If you entered the wrong phone number, you can update it during the onboarding verification step before completing your account setup.
