What is a verified employer? What the badge proves, and what it does not (2026)

A verified employer is a company that has proved it controls the domain its jobs are posted under. What ofper's Verified and Registered badges each mean, what is self-declared, and how a candidate should read them.

Last updated 3 September 2026. Competitor pricing and plan limits are re-verified against each vendor’s own pages.

A verified employer is a company that has proved to the platform hosting its jobs that it controls the domain it claims to represent.

On ofper, a company becomes Verified by adding a DNS record to its domain or by answering an email sent to an address at that domain. The check is automated and free.

A Verified badge proves domain control. It does not prove that the company is registered, solvent or a good employer; ofper shows a separate Registered badge only after company registration documents have been reviewed.

What does the Verified badge prove?

That whoever set up the company on ofper could edit the DNS records of, or receive email at, the domain shown on the page. For a candidate, that means a job on a page marked Verified for acme.com was posted by someone with control of acme.com, not by an impostor using the name. Until identity documents are approved, the verified domain is the name shown for the company.

What does the Registered badge add?

A company can submit its registration documents for review. When approved, the registered legal name is shown as the company's public name with a Registered badge, and that name is the only one ofper emits as the legal name in the page's structured data. Until then, any registered name, registration number or address the company types in is displayed with a note that it is self-declared: public, so that a false statement is visible, but not checked by ofper.

How should a candidate read the badges?

Verified: the domain is real and controlled by the poster. Check that the domain matches the company you think you are applying to.
Registered: the legal name has been checked against documents. Registration numbers can be checked on the government registry for the company's country, such as the MCA portal for an Indian CIN.
No badge: on ofper, no such page exists — only Verified companies have a public page at all.
Any employer asking for money, a deposit or bank details before a hire is a scam, badge or no badge.

Questions, answered straight

How does a company get verified on ofper?

By adding a DNS TXT record to its domain, or by receiving a code at an email address on that domain. Both are automated and free, and either unlocks the public company page, candidate self-apply and recruiting email from the company's own mailbox.

Does verified mean ofper has checked the company's registration?

No. Verified means domain control only. The Registered badge means registration documents were reviewed. Registration details shown without that badge are self-declared by the company.

Can a verified employer lose the badge?

Yes. A suspended company loses every verified privilege, including its public page and the ability to send recruiting email, and its page is removed.
