How do I get my skills confirmed by a manager?
Short answer
Ask someone who saw your work — a manager or team lead — to confirm a specific skill. They verify it from real work, and it moves from declared to confirmed with a record of who confirmed it.
Confirmation is how a self-declared skill becomes evidenced. The person best placed to confirm is someone who actually observed you doing the work: a manager, team lead or supervisor. You request confirmation for a specific skill, and they verify it based on real work rather than a test.
This keeps the signal honest and useful. A confirmed skill carries more weight in matching because a real person stood behind it, and the platform records who confirmed it. Skills you cannot yet get confirmed stay clearly marked as declared — nothing is invented on your behalf.
Practical steps
- Pick a skill a manager or lead actually saw you use.
- Request confirmation for that specific skill.
- Once verified, it shows as confirmed with the confirmer on record.
Good to know
Only a person who can vouch for your real work should confirm a skill; the platform never confirms skills on its own.
