In today’s fast-moving job market, hiring decisions are often made under pressure. Recruiters must balance speed, talent shortages, and increasing competition — all while relying on information that is not always reliable: the CV.

This is the problem SolidCV was created to solve.

The Reality of CVs Today

CVs remain the cornerstone of recruitment, yet they are also one of its weakest links.
Across industries and roles, recruiters regularly encounter:

• Inflated or outdated skills
• Unverified diplomas or certifications
• Inaccurate job titles or employment dates
• References that are difficult or impossible to validate

For HR teams, this leads to wasted time, costly hiring mistakes, and growing frustration. For candidates who are honest and well-qualified, it creates unfair competition.

What Is SolidCV?

SolidCV is a European HR Tech solution designed to verify CV data and professional credentials, helping companies hire with confidence and transparency.

Rather than replacing recruiters’ judgement, SolidCV strengthens it by allowing HR teams to:

• Verify education, experience, and skills more efficiently
• Reduce manual background checks
• Increase trust between candidates and employers
• Make better, data-backed hiring decisions

The goal is simple: turn the CV from a declaration into a reliable source of truth.

Why Verification Matters for the Future of Work

As recruitment becomes more digital and international, trust becomes harder to establish. Remote hiring, cross-border talent, and fast recruitment cycles amplify the risks of relying on unverified information.

SolidCV addresses this challenge by offering:

• A structured verification approach
• Secure handling of candidate data
• A scalable solution for companies of all sizes

This shift benefits everyone:

• Employers reduce hiring risks
• Recruiters save time and focus on human interactions
• Candidates are rewarded for real, proven skills

The Link with Education and Lifelong Learning

For training providers and learners — including those engaged in programs delivered by Tonic Teaching — SolidCV reflects an important evolution: learning outcomes need to be demonstrable and verifiable.

As employers increasingly value:

• Practical skills
• Certified learning paths
• Project-based experience

having trusted ways to validate these elements becomes essential. SolidCV helps bridge the gap between education, skills, and employment.

Building a More Transparent Recruitment Ecosystem

SolidCV is not just a tool — it is part of a broader vision for a more transparent and fair recruitment ecosystem, where:

• Skills matter more than claims
• Trust replaces guesswork
• Technology supports better human decisions

In a world where careers are increasingly dynamic, verification is no longer optional — it is becoming a strategic advantage.
