Truecaller has partnered with LinkedIn to bring professional identity and verification signals to its Caller ID, allowing users to display details such as their workplace and job title when they receive calls.
The partnership connects Truecaller’s caller identification service with LinkedIn’s professional identity features. New users can use Login with LinkedIn to set up their Truecaller profile, with details including their name and profile picture pre-filled from LinkedIn.
New and existing users can also use Verified on LinkedIn to add their workplace and job title to their Truecaller profile. Once connected, these details will appear alongside the caller’s name and picture on Truecaller Caller ID. Recipients can also tap through to the caller’s LinkedIn profile to view more information about their professional background.
“A phone number by itself tells you almost nothing. Truecaller’s role has always been to add the context people need to decide whether to answer. Our partnership with LinkedIn lets people add richer professional context to Truecaller Caller ID, building on the trust and verification signals LinkedIn has established around professional identity,” said Kunal Dua, Chief Product Officer at Truecaller.
“That gives the person receiving a call a more trustworthy picture of who is reaching out, while helping the caller be recognised for more than just their number. LinkedIn is the natural partner for this, and I’m excited about what it could unlock for everyday professional communication,” he added.
LinkedIn verification will also be reflected on Truecaller. Where LinkedIn has verified a caller’s workplace, Truecaller will display a corresponding indicator alongside the company information, complementing Truecaller’s own user verification processes.
The integration is optional, with users able to choose whether to display their workplace and job title and disconnect their LinkedIn profile at any time.
“Verified on LinkedIn” allows LinkedIn members to carry professional verification to partner platforms without going through a separate verification process.
“We’re making it seamless for members to take their verified credibility to more platforms they use. Using our ‘Verified on LinkedIn’ integration, members can instantly connect their LinkedIn profiles on partner platforms and carry over relevant verification signals without separate verification processes,” said Oscar Rodriguez, VP of Trust Product at LinkedIn.
