Employer Verification (Willo Proof™)

At Willo, we know how important it is for both job seekers and employers to have a trusted hiring experience. That’s why we’ve introduced Willo Proof™ — our enhanced Employer Verification (e-KYB) process designed to help confirm that businesses using our platform are genuine.


While no system can completely eliminate risk, this industry-leading verification helps candidates identify legitimate opportunities and helps employers build trust with job seekers.

Note: This verification process — often called Know Your Business (KYB) — is only for employers using the Willo platform. Candidates should not complete this process.


Why Employer Verification Matters

Fraudulent job postings and employer impersonation scams are a growing issue on the internet. Although we cannot guarantee that every employer is legitimate, Willo Proof’s KYB checks help reduce risk by requiring businesses to provide evidence of their company identity before using the platform.


For candidates, this means greater confidence that they are engaging with a real company. For employers, being verified reassures top talent that your organisation is credible and professional.


How Employer Verification Works

Willo uses a combination of automated KYB processes and manual reviews to verify employers:

Company Identity & Business Checks

  • Employers provide official business registration details and a company email domain.
  • Our systems automatically cross-reference this information with trusted databases.

Document & Identity Verification

  • You may be asked to provide additional verification, such as confirming your identity through secure ID verification technology.

Manual Review Where Needed

  • If the automated checks require further validation, our team conducts a manual review.

Ongoing Monitoring

  • We regularly monitor activity on the platform and may request re-verification if needed.

These layered checks help filter out many fraudulent accounts while keeping the process straightforward for legitimate employers.


Typical processing time for a new verification check is 2 business days.
