Verify Once, Rehire in Minutes: How the Cleo Work Passport™ Works

Hiring shouldn't start from zero every time.

Yet that's exactly what happens today. Candidates repeatedly fill out the same applications, upload the same documents, complete the same background checks, and answer the same questions for every new job. Employers spend time and money verifying information they've often verified before.

The result is a hiring system filled with unnecessary friction.

The Cleo Work Passport™ changes that.

The Traditional Hiring Cycle

Every new application typically requires:

• Resume submission
• Identity verification
• Employment history review
• Background screening
• Work authorization checks
• Certifications and licenses
• New onboarding paperwork

Even if a candidate was hired just weeks earlier, the process often starts all over again. This creates delays, increases hiring costs, and slows down employers who need workers immediately.

The Cleo Difference

Cleo doesn't ask workers to build a digital passport before they get hired.

Instead, the hiring process creates the passport.

As a candidate moves through hiring on Cleo, their identity, documents, employment records, certifications, and hiring outcomes are verified and securely stored with their permission.

By the time they're hired, they already have a verified Work Passport.

No extra work.
No separate enrollment.
No additional application.

The hiring workflow becomes the verification workflow.

What Lives Inside a Work Passport?

A Work Passport can include:

• Verified identity
• Employment history
• Work authorization
• Certifications and licenses
• Background screening status
• Skills and qualifications
• Employer hiring history
• AI-generated FitScore™
• Verified work documents

The worker controls when and with whom this information is shared.

The Next Time They Apply

Instead of beginning another application from scratch, a worker simply shares their Work Passport.

Employers instantly receive a trusted profile with verified information rather than waiting days for documents, manual reviews, and repeated verification.

For returning workers, seasonal employees, and people moving between employers, hiring can be reduced from days to minutes because much of the trust has already been established. Organizations are increasingly shifting toward reusable verification and stronger identity validation to reduce hiring friction while improving trust.

Better for Workers

Workers no longer have to repeatedly prove who they are.

Their verified employment history grows over time, creating a portable professional identity they can use throughout their career.

Instead of rebuilding trust with every application, they carry it with them.

Better for Employers

Employers gain:

• Faster hiring decisions
• Fewer duplicate verification steps
• Reduced administrative workload
• More confidence in candidate information
• Better candidate experience
• Lower hiring costs

Rather than reviewing stacks of documents, hiring managers begin with verified information and spend their time evaluating people—not paperwork.

Building a Trust Layer for Frontline Hiring

The Work Passport is more than a profile.

It's a reusable trust layer built directly into hiring.

Every successful hire strengthens a worker's verified history. Every future application becomes faster. Every employer benefits from information that has already been validated.

Hiring shouldn't require rebuilding trust every single time.

With the Cleo Work Passport™, workers verify once—and can be rehired in minutes.
