Career Identity

Your career deserves an identity of its own.

A CV tells people what you claim. Career Identity shows what has been checked: one number, one verified history, and a digital card in the Contractor app.

01 · Why it matters

A CV is easy to write. It is hard to trust.

Engagement decisions rest on claims that are difficult to check. A company cannot easily tell which qualifications and positions have been confirmed, and contractors are asked to send sensitive documents to people they have never met.

Every time you move between clients, your record is rebuilt from nothing. Career Identity exists to fix those three problems.

Claims are hard to check

A polished CV looks the same whether or not anything in it has been verified.

Documents travel too far

Passports, national IDs and certificates are sent again and again to people you do not know.

You keep starting again

Education, training and completed engagements end up scattered across forms, files and systems.

02 · What it is

Your Career Identity sits at the centre

Career Identity is not another app. It is your own professional record, and every platform in the ecosystem connects around it.

  • You own it. You decide what each company or recruitment partner can see.
  • It follows you. Education, training, engagements and verification build up in one record as you move between clients and into new work.
  • It is checked. Verification shows only the checks that have actually been completed.

Training and certification are features inside these platforms, not a separate application.

03 · The five parts

What makes up your Career Identity

Not a single document. Five connected parts that work together.

A permanent number

Your Career Identity Number is issued after successful identity verification and stays the same across the ecosystem services you use.

A growing record

Education, engagements, projects, skills, certifications, languages and references, kept in one place and added to over time.

Evidence labels

Every career fact shows where it came from, so what you declared is never confused with what has been verified.

A strength indicator

A five-level indicator shows how well your record is supported by evidence. It is not a score of your ability.

A digital card

A card in the app shows your number and a QR code, so others can check the information you have permitted.

04 · How it works

From first profile to verified identity

Most people can have a working Career Identity in five steps.

Create your profile

Enter your education, engagements and skills.

Verify your identity

Complete the one-time identity verification.

Receive your number

A unique Career Identity Number is linked to your record.

Strengthen your record

Request qualification verification and references where they are available.

Show your card

Show it to a company as evidence of what has been verified, without another round of reference requests.

05 · Why it matters to you

Be believed without handing over everything

A way to be taken seriously on evidence, while keeping control of your information.

Prove more, share less

Show your card and permitted verification status instead of sending private documents again and again.

Stand out on evidence

Verified qualifications and supported references make your record clearer than a CV alone.

Never start from zero

Your record follows you between clients and into new work.

Keep control

You decide what each company or recruitment partner can see.

Open more doors

A credible record helps in Kenya and, where available, with clients abroad.

Collect references once

Your referees confirm your work once. Your card shows the result, so they are not asked again by everyone.

06 · Why it matters to clients

Engaging on clearer evidence

When a contractor can show what has been checked, a company stops chasing the same references for every engagement. Companies see only what you have permitted, and remain responsible for their own decisions.

No repeated reference chasing

Verified references and qualifications appear on the card, so the same referees are not contacted for every engagement.

Clear provenance

Self-declared, confirmed and verified information are never mixed together.

Respect for the contractor

You share what an engagement needs, not your whole file.

07 · Evidence labels

Know what has been verified, and what has not

Every career fact carries a label showing where it came from, so a number is never mistaken for proof of everything in a record.

Self-declared

You entered the information directly. It has not been independently verified.

Confirmed by you

A suggestion was made automatically, and you accepted or edited it.

Institution verified

An authorised registrar confirmed the qualification through the verification process.

Reference verified

A referee supported a specific part of your professional experience.

Verification for TVET qualifications, technical certificates, college diplomas and other awarding bodies will be introduced as institutional integrations become available.

08 · Strength

Stronger evidence means a clearer record

A five-level indicator shows how well a record is supported by evidence. As eligible verification is added, the indicator can reflect it.

  1. Declared
  2. Partly supported
  3. Supported
  4. Well supported
  5. Fully verified

It is not a measure of talent, personal value or guaranteed work, and it is never a ranking of people.

09 · The card

Show that your profile is verified

Your Career Identity Card lives in the app. It shows your Career Identity Number and a QR code, so a company can confirm your identity is valid and see the verification you have chosen to share.

Your passport, certificates and other private documents are never exposed. The card reflects only the checks that have actually been completed. It does not replace a government-issued ID and it does not guarantee work.

10 · Privacy and control

Your career information stays under your control

Career Identity is built to hold as little as it can for as long as it must.

Temporary document processing

Identity documents and files used for automated suggestions are processed for a limited period, then deleted rather than stored indefinitely.

You approve suggestions

Automated changes become part of your record only when you accept them.

Controlled sharing

A number or digital card does not give anyone access to your complete record or your private documents.

Checks reveal little

A public check of your number reveals only the information you have permitted.

11 · Honest limits

What Career Identity is not

Clear limits protect contractors and companies alike.

Not a government ID

It does not replace a passport, national ID or any other government document.

Not a password

It does not give access to your account, and sharing it does not give others access.

Not a guarantee of work

It helps you be believed. It does not promise engagements, offers or a particular rate.

Not proof of everything

It does not mean every skill or qualification in a record has been verified. The labels show what has.

Not a ranking

Strength shows how well a record is supported, not how capable a person is.

Built for every kind of career

13 · Questions

Before you begin

A company makes its own decisions and may still ask questions. But when your references and qualifications have been verified and appear on your card, there is clear evidence to rely on, so repeated requests to your referees should not be needed.

A permanent, unique number linked to your professional record after successful identity verification. It identifies your record without exposing your private documents.

Creating a standard contractor account is intended to be free. Where an institution charges to verify a qualification, that fee is disclosed before the request proceeds.

No. Showing your card or your number does not give access to your private documents or your complete record. A company sees only what you permit.

No. It is not a password and it does not give access to your account.

Yes. You can delete your account, and your number is then deactivated. The Privacy Policy sets out what happens to the record.
