LinkedIn will require recruiters and executives to verify their identity to cut down on scams

LinkedIn will now require recruiters and executives to verify their identity before changing job titles on the platform, in an effort to combat scams. The new rules apply specifically to those who interact with job seekers or represent a company, including titles like "recruiter," "talent acquisition," "Executive Director," "Managing Director," and "Vice President." Verification involves providing an official email address using the company's domain name. While existing recruiters and executives won't have to verify, the change will apply to those updating their roles. LinkedIn is also opening up a "Premium Company Page subscription" to allow companies to have verified profiles, which should help users trust the legitimacy of the company and its employees. The platform has faced issues with scammers impersonating company employees, and this new system aims to enhance security and reduce fraud on the platform.
