Verifiable credentials

Verifiable credentials are credentials that a candidate shares during a job application to an organization using the candidate's private key in Velocity Career Wallet.

This list shows the process of receiving verifiable credentials from Velocity Career Wallet:
  1. The candidate downloads Velocity Career Wallet and adds credentials to share with third-party applications.
  2. The candidate applies to a job and shares specific verifiable credentials.
  3. The candidate's verifiable credentials are sent to Talemetry.
  4. The candidate's job application and verifiable credentials are interfaced in Talent Acquisition through the Recruiting Partner Applications integration.
  5. The candidate's verifiable credentials and status are displayed on the Requisitions and Candidates pages, and on the Talent Profile tab of the candidate's profile in Talent Acquisition.
  6. The recruiters can verify and reverify the candidate's verifiable credentials during the recruitment process.
Administrators, recruiters, and recruiter administrators can view the candidate's verifiable credentials on Requisitions, Candidates, or Talent Profile. They can view these verifiable credentials information:
  • List of candidates who share their career credentials using Velocity Wallet
  • Candidate's workflow step in the recruitment process for a job requisition
  • List of verifiable credentials
  • Status for each candidate's verifiable credentials

See Viewing and verifying verifiable credentials on the Requisitions page.

This table shows the statuses that are displayed for each candidate's verifiable credentials:
Status Description
Failed Career credentials that are revoked, expired, tampered, exhausted the reserve voucher, or unresolved to a trusted member of Velocity.
Not verified Career credentials that recruiters can verify in Requisitions, Candidates, and Talent Profile.
Verified Career credentials that recruiters can reverify in Requisitions, Candidates, and Talent Profile.
Self-reported Career credentials that recruiters can verify using assessments and background checks.

See Assessments and Background checks.

Recruiters can verify and reverify candidate's career credentials on Requisitions, Candidates, and Talent Profile.

To ensure that the candidate's career credentials are issued by a certified issuer of Velocity Network and not tampered with, expired, or revoked, recruiters must verify and reverify candidate's career credentials.

To verify and reverify the candidate's credentials successfully, recruiters are required to use Velocity vouchers, which are purchased and managed by their organization.

The total number of career credentials for each employee that recruiters can verify and reverify are displayed on Requisitions.
