A More Transparent and Accountable Professional World.
PeerVerified is creating a future where companies hire with confidence, individuals receive the feedback they need for growth, and professional responsibility is the norm.
The Founder's Journey
From developer to product lead, a unique perspective on a persistent challenge.
My journey over the past eight years, from a developer to a product lead managing multiple teams, has given me a unique perspective on a persistent challenge. In every role, I've been deeply involved in recruitment. The one constant is the need to hire new people, and I've come to believe the process is fundamentally flawed.
The Core Problems in Hiring
The traditional hiring process is broken, leading to costly mistakes for companies and missed growth opportunities for individuals.
Unreliable Background Checks
Standard interviews provide a snapshot, but official background checks miss critical insights from former colleagues. SMEs often skip this step entirely, leading to costly hiring mistakes.
Valuable Feedback is Lost
When an employee leaves, especially due to policy violations or performance issues, that crucial information vanishes. Future employers are left in the dark, unable to validate critical areas.
Lack of Honest Feedback
A culture of honest feedback is rare. Peers and direct reports often withhold constructive criticism to avoid conflict, preventing personal growth and allowing problems to persist.
The Solution: PeerVerified
A platform where professionals can provide and receive feedback on other professionals. Think of it as Yelp or Google Reviews, but for individuals in the workplace.
How It Benefits Companies
Search an applicant's name and instantly access a rich history of peer feedback. This makes background checks faster, more affordable, and more insightful, reducing the likelihood that this critical step is skipped. It also alerts them to potential red flags, allowing for more informed hiring decisions.
How It Benefits People
Individuals can access feedback on themselves and their colleagues, creating an invaluable opportunity for self-improvement and professional development. Finally, a way to get the honest feedback needed for growth.
The User Journey
Search & Select
A user searches for a professional by name. They can select an existing profile or create a new, "unclaimed" profile.
Verify Identity
To leave or view detailed reviews, the user must register and verify their identity via LinkedIn, ensuring all participants are real professionals.
Access Reviews
The public profile shows a rating and review count. Detailed, confidential reviews are only accessible to the profile owner or subscribed companies.
Leave Constructive Feedback
A guided form encourages helpful feedback. Users can post anonymously, but their identity is securely logged for moderation.
Review Moderation
All reviews are moderated before publishing. An AI flags potentially disingenuous content, and users can report harmful reviews.
A Massive, Underserved Market
The cost of a bad hire is staggering, and millions of SMEs are vulnerable. The HR Tech market is booming, showing a clear demand for solutions like PeerVerified.

Mitigating The Risks
Fake Profiles
Profile creation is tied exclusively to LinkedIn authentication. This ensures every user is a real person with a verifiable professional identity.
Fake Reviews
No review is published instantly. An AI-assisted moderation team vets every submission, flagging suspicious content and allowing human moderators to focus their efforts effectively.
The Revenue Model
Business Subscriptions
Revenue is generated through a subscription-based plan for companies, granting them access to view detailed, confidential reviews for any professional on the platform.
Free for Individuals
Accessing all feedback on your own claimed profile will always be free, empowering individuals to grow and improve.
