Our Verification
Process
Trust is the foundation of Tradesconnect. Our multi-layered verification framework ensures that every tradesperson, employer, and supplier on the platform is who they say they are — protecting everyone in the community.
Why Verification Matters
The UK construction industry loses millions every year to fraud, unqualified workers, and uninsured contractors. Tradesconnect is built differently — every profile on our platform goes through a rigorous verification process so you can connect, hire, and work with complete confidence.
Whether you're a tradesperson building your reputation, an employer protecting your business, or a supplier reaching genuine trade professionals — verification is what sets Tradesconnect apart.

What We Verify
Our verification process covers a wide range of checks. Not all checks apply to every user — the relevant verifications depend on your role and trade.
Identity Checks
We verify the identity of every user on the platform to ensure you know exactly who you are connecting with.
Multi-Factor Authentication
An additional layer of security requiring a second form of verification when signing in to your account.
Email Verification
Every account is confirmed via a verified email address before gaining full access to the platform.
Business Verification
Employers and suppliers are verified as legitimate trading businesses before posting jobs or offers.
Company Registration Checks
We cross-reference company details against official registration records to confirm legitimacy.
Qualifications
Trade qualifications and certifications are checked and displayed on verified profiles so employers can hire with confidence.
Professional Memberships
Membership of recognised trade bodies and professional associations can be verified and displayed on your profile.
Insurance Validation
Public liability and other relevant insurance policies are validated to protect both tradespeople and employers.
Driving Licence Verification
Where relevant to the role or trade, driving licence status can be verified and shown on your profile.
DBS Status Where Appropriate
Disclosure and Barring Service checks are supported where the nature of the work requires them.
Right to Work Documentation
We support right to work checks to help employers meet their legal obligations when hiring.
Additional Methods
Our verification framework is continuously evolving. New methods may be introduced from time to time to maintain the highest standards of trust.
A Framework Built to Grow
