How do you ensure linkedin history isn’t falsified?

I’ve seen all sort of false claims, but ultimately small programming task is best to sift out people.



You check references and watch for clues that it doesn’t add up.

Imperfect, but effective enough that this is how the world has solved for this forever.


Seriously. I could write 20 years of fake FAANG experience, connect with every rando posting AI slop since they just farm connections, and that would be better according to what i'm reading here.


No, because that would be a lie and seen through.

You made a big jump from “post your work history” to “commit fraud”, so you can justify ignoring consensus.
