The problem with the CV
A CV is a self-written document. Anyone can edit it, and nothing on it tells an employer which details have been checked. That leaves recruiters with two bad options: trust the CV and risk a costly mis-hire, or verify everything for every shortlisted candidate and slow the process down.
Candidates lose out too. A person who changes jobs several times goes through the same identity, education and employment checks again and again, for every employer, often handing over the same documents each time.
What a ProInt Talent Passport is
A ProInt Talent Passport is a digital professional profile that belongs to the candidate and shows which of its details have been verified. In ProInt it brings together skills, identity, employment history and documents in one place, each with its verification status, so an employer can tell a checked credential from a claim.
The candidate builds it once in the free ProInt candidate portal, then shares it with any employer through a secure link or a QR code.
What can be verified
- Identity, with the candidate’s consent, including DigiLocker, Aadhaar e-KYC, PAN and EPFO checks where the employer has enabled them.
- Employment, confirmed by past employers through a secure verification link instead of reference emails.
- Skills, which carry their verification status so employers can see what has been assessed.
- Documents, such as certificates, collected once and shared with consent.
How employers check a passport
The employer opens the candidate’s share link or scans the QR code. ProInt shows the passport with the verification status of each item, and anyone holding the verification code can confirm on ProInt that the passport is genuine and current. No account is needed just to check authenticity. Employers who use ProInt for hiring can also request access to documents and references, which the candidate approves.
Who stays in control
The candidate does. Sharing is consent-based, the candidate chooses what appears on the passport, and every share link can be revoked at any time, which stops access immediately. Personal data is encrypted at rest and passports are never published to search engines.
Why it matters for recruiters
- Unverified claims surface before the offer stage, not after joining.
- Less time spent chasing documents and references for each shortlisted candidate.
- Verification evidence stays with the candidate record, ready for audits.
- Candidates who arrive already verified can move through the process faster.
