Understanding Gigomy’s Member Verification Process

Gigomy sets itself apart from other service platforms by emphasizing trust and credibility. A cornerstone of this is its Member Verification Process, which ensures that every consultant, contractor, or service provider listed on the platform is experienced, legitimate, and capable of delivering results.

Why Verification Matters

In a marketplace filled with freelance platforms, Gigomy’s verification system gives business users peace of mind by:

• Filtering out unqualified providers
• Ensuring accountability
• Maintaining high service standards

Types of Verification

There are two types of verification available through Gigomy:

1. Standard Verification
   
   All Gigomy members undergo our standard verification process which involves the member completing their initial profile here.
   
   This is requirement for all members whether they are an expert or a business looking for skills, although different information is requested for the different member groups.
   
   The Gigomy team then undertakes, standard checks on the information provided before your information is published on the platform.
2. Gold Verification
   
   Gold Verification provides members with the additional assurance of the skills and experience profiled on the Gigomy platform.
   
   Gold Verification is available to experts and provides a thorough assessment of skill and experiences through our external verification provider Certn.
   
   To complete this verification, experts are provided with a link to Certn where information is uploaded and undergoes Certn’s thorough assessment process which includes Identity Check, Credential and Education Verification, and Digital Reference Checks.
