How to verify a company with a corporate email

To verify your company, receive a code at its corporate email address and enter it on the site. After a successful check, a green “Verified company” checkmark appears beside the company name. You do not need to wait for a moderator.

This confirms that you have access to an email account on the company's domain.

Which email address to use

A corporate email address has the company's domain after the `@` sign.

For example, the company website is hardskilled.com and your work email is [email protected]. The shared part, hardskilled.com, is called a domain.

You can use your own work address or a shared mailbox, such as the HR team's email. You must be able to open the message.

Company website: hardskilled.com

In this example:

Before you start

Check these three things:

  • The company has a profile on the site. If it does not, create the company first.
  • You can open the corporate mailbox. If you do not know the address or how to sign in, ask the colleague who manages your work email.
  • You have permission to edit the company. Administrators and members with the “Edits company” permission can verify it. Ask an administrator for help if needed. See Company members.

Step 1. Add the company website

  1. Open My companies.
  2. Choose the company.
  3. Open the Information tab.
  4. Enter the address in the Website field, for example https://hardskilled.com, and save your changes.

If the correct website is already saved, leave it as it is.

Step 2. Send the code

  1. Open the Verification tab.
  2. Choose Corporate email.
  3. Check the hint under the field. It shows the required domain, such as @hardskilled.com.
  4. Enter the full email address, for example [email protected].
  5. Click Send code.

You will see “Code sent. Check your inbox.”

If the form asks you to add a website first, click Open company info and follow step 1.

Step 3. Enter the code from the email

  1. Open the mailbox you entered in the previous step.
  2. Find the message with the code. Check Spam if it is not in your inbox.
  3. Copy the six-digit code.
  4. Return to the company verification page.
  5. Paste the code into Code from the email sent to….
  6. Click Confirm.

After a successful check, the company gets a green checkmark.

What the green checkmark means

The “Verified company” badge appears beside the company name on its page and publications. Email verification means that a member with editing permission confirmed access to a mailbox on the company's domain.

Verification applies across the platform's sites where the company is listed.

If verification was required before publishing a job, you can continue publishing after the check. The site's other requirements still apply. See Why company verification is required.

If the code does not arrive

  1. Make sure you opened the mailbox you entered for verification.
  2. Check Spam.
  3. Check the address on the screen. If there is a typo, click Change email, correct it, and send the code again.
  4. If the address is correct but no message arrives, ask the colleague who manages your email to check whether incoming messages are being blocked.

If this does not help, contact support.

If you see an error

ProblemWhat to do
The email domain does not match the company websiteCompare the website in the profile with the part after @. For hardskilled.com, an address such as [email protected] works. Check for typos.

The code is wrong or expiredUse the latest email. If the code still fails, click “Change email” and send a new code.
Too many attemptsWait a minute and try again.
The code email could not be sentTry sending it again in a minute. Contact support if the error continues.
