LinkedIn tests peer verification of work history

LinkedIn is testing a feature that lets members verify the work and education history of people they know; enough confirmations add a verification badge to a profile, and members can opt out. Companies with verified Pages can remove impersonator accounts from search, while Truecaller and PeerSpot joined partners like Adobe and TrustRadius under Verified on LinkedIn.

• Peer confirmations add a verification badge; members can opt out
• Members will soon be able to request verification from connections
• Verified Page admins can remove impersonator accounts from search
• Truecaller now shows whether a caller is verified on LinkedIn
