Portfolios lie. Reviews are gamed.

Anyone can claim expertise. Fake credentials, inflated portfolios, and purchased reviews make it nearly impossible to know who is actually qualified. You end up hiring based on hope.

Verified Specialist checks credentials with data—so you know who is real before you commit.
