Identity verification helps create a safe and transparent workplace for employers and contractors on AltMass.
What is identity verification?
The identity verification process verifies the identities of contractors providing services on AltMass. It helps employers identify trustworthy contractors and gives contractors with no history of operating on AltMass the opportunity to gain the trust of employers. Identity verification helps create transparency on the platform and build trusting relationships.
Why is self-identification important?
To help employers make better hiring decisions, we provide them with valuable information about the work history of contractors on AltMass. If a volunteer has paid at least once on the AltMass platform, we display all of their information (employers they have worked with, total income, top employers, invoices, etc.) in their conversation. This information helps employers understand the size, volume, and scale of freelancing. If the Contractor has not yet paid the platform, there is no information to display. To help these contractors prove that they are trustworthy, we are now including IDV status to help employers assess their trustworthiness and reputation in the workplace.
We encourage employers to verify the identity of contractors without a work history on AltMass. We recommend that contractors with no commercial history verify their profiles to increase their chances of being hired.
How are contractors recognized on AltMass? Contractors can verify their profile on AltMass by providing their ID and credit card information. We will review the comments and if all checks are completed, we will notify the Contractor within two business days that the comments have been verified.
