On PASS, verification is not a badge you award yourself and not a number an algorithm decides. It means one specific thing, and it is the whole point of the product.
Only the person who employed you can confirm you worked there — a verified manager, head chef or owner at that kitchen. Not you, not an algorithm, and not a reference letter you typed yourself. That is why a green tick on PASS means something a CV never could: a CV is a claim, a PASS record is a receipt.
PASS never ranks people with a number. Evidence is role-dependent — what proves a head chef is not what proves a commis — so no single score could ever be fair to both. A record compounds in value over a career; a score just gets argued with.
PASS shows what actually happened — where you worked, confirmed by the people who employed you — not reviews, not star ratings, not stranger votes. The moment a platform scores people with an opinion, it stops being a record of what is true.
