A new integration between Truecaller and LinkedIn will allow users to bring verified professional information into their caller ID profiles. The optional feature is designed to let LinkedIn users display trusted career details when they make calls.
Users can add their LinkedIn name and profile picture to their Truecaller calling cards. Existing and new LinkedIn users can also use the ‘Verified on LinkedIn’ feature to add their workplace, organisation and job title to their Truecaller profile.
The information will be visible to people receiving their calls if the user chooses to display it. Callers can also tap the LinkedIn profile shown on Truecaller to learn more about the person’s professional background.
The integration relies on LinkedIn’s expanded verification tools, which are designed to improve authenticity and reduce fake profiles and accounts on the platform.
Under the new verification system, verified LinkedIn users will be able to vouch for and verify other verified profiles if they have known the person for at least 1 year. The move is aimed at strengthening trust across the professional network.
LinkedIn company page administrators will also soon be able to identify and verify people impersonating their employees. This will allow companies to manage which profiles appear in search results linked to their organisation’s name.
The professional network is also developing a separate verification process that will allow workplaces to verify people who claim to be their employees.
The Truecaller integration is closely linked to LinkedIn’s verification system. Only professional details that have been verified on LinkedIn will be eligible to appear on Truecaller. The same verification principle will apply to workplace information and other professional details.
The optional feature therefore gives users greater control over what professional information appears on their caller ID, while connecting caller profiles with verified professional identities.
