How We Vet:

Our seven step process is the most rigorous in the industry.

1 Verify email address and location to account name, check backlinks and any information that comes up upon searching the internet.
2 Verify that name and title on the application, match that on these sites: - University or Organization site (must be .edu, .org or other accredited institution in good standing) - Twitter - LinkedIn - Resume or CV (if available)
3 Verify that information listed on University/Org site, matches that listed on LinkedIn and/or Twitter
4 If a licensed profession, (medicine, law, real estate, etc) confirm license and good standing with state board

5 Verify previously published content where person was quoted (news articles and the like) for consistency, expertise, confirming name/titles
6 For authors, confirm title and author of the book on an independent book publisher/seller site
7 If one or more of these steps can't be completed, request supplemental information as needed. An interview may be necessary in certain cases.
8 Vetting and approval is based on merit, and merit alone. Verification cannot be bought, sold, or transferred.
