Verifying SkillLift Labs credentials

How to verify a candidate's SkillLift Labs certificate — single lookup, bulk CSV upload, and understanding verification results.

Quick answer

Use the Employer Verification page to validate one or many credential IDs.
Results return as VALID, NOT_FOUND, or REVOKED, with evidence links for valid credentials.

Why verify?

SkillLift Labs credentials are cryptographically backed — each certificate has an integrity hash that would change if any underlying evidence were altered. Verification gives you confidence that what a candidate claims on their CV matches what they actually completed.

No account or login is required to verify credentials.

Single credential lookup

  1. Go to SkillLift Employer Verification.
  2. Enter the Credential ID from the candidate's CV or LinkedIn profile. It looks like SL-A1B2C3D4-EF56.
  3. Click Verify. Results appear instantly.

Bulk CSV verification

If you are screening multiple candidates:

  1. Prepare a CSV file with a header row and a credentialId column.
  2. Each subsequent row should contain one credential ID.
  3. Upload the file and click Upload & Verify.
  4. Download the results as a CSV for your records.

CSV format requirements
