{"slug":"verify-company","title":"Verifying your company on Parlel","description":"How company verification works on Parlel, why the verified badge matters for hiring and sales trust, and how to get it.","cluster":"Find companies","updated":"2026-09-21","url":"https://parlel.com/guides/verify-company","markdown":"A verified badge on a Parlel company page means one thing: the company proved it controls its work email domain. It is a small check with outsized effects -- candidates trust verified employers, prospects trust verified vendors, and impersonators cannot fake it.\n\n## What verification proves (and what it does not)\n\nVerification confirms that the person who claimed the page can receive email at the company's domain -- `acme.com` for Acme, not a free mailbox. It proves *control of the domain*, which in practice means you are the company or its authorized representative.\n\nIt does not prove revenue, headcount, funding, or that any particular role is real. Think of it as identity, not endorsement: necessary trust infrastructure, not a reward.\n\n## How to verify\n\n1. **Claim or create your company page** from your Parlel account.\n2. **Verify with your work email** -- the flow sends a confirmation to your address at the company's domain. Personal and free addresses do not qualify, which is the entire point.\n3. **Complete the page**: description, size, industry, location. A verified badge on an empty page reads as \"real company, nothing to say\" -- fix that with the [company page guide](/guides/company-page-guide).\n\n## Where the badge shows up\n\nEverywhere the company appears: the [company directory](/companies), each [open role](/guides/publish-roles) it publishes, and the employer lines of every employee whose history names it. One verification upgrades the trust of every surface the company touches -- which is why this is worth doing before you [publish roles](/guides/publish-roles) or start [prospecting customers](/guides/find-customers) from the page.\n\n## Verification and your people\n\nAsk employees to list the company on their [profiles](/guides/create-profile) with their work email verified too. A verified company whose team shows verified employer badges is the strongest trust signal Parlel renders -- and it costs nothing but ten minutes per person.\n","html":"<p>A verified badge on a Parlel company page means one thing: the company proved it controls its work email domain.
