Employer Branding

Digital certificates for employer branding and workplace awards

When a company wins "Employer of the Year" or earns a workplace certification, they want to shout about it. Give them a certificate worth shouting about - one that's beautiful, shareable, verifiable, and impossible to fake.

The problem with static award certificates

Workplace awards and employer certifications are powerful. Companies invest real effort to earn them. Then they receive a PDF.

PDFs get downloaded and forgotten

They sit in someone's inbox. Maybe they get printed and framed in an office. But they don't get shared, they don't build visibility, and they do nothing for the award programme's reach.

PDFs can be faked

Any organisation can create a convincing-looking PDF claiming they won an award they didn't earn. Without verification, the award's credibility is at risk.

PDFs don't drive traffic

When a company posts "We're certified as a Great Place To Work!" on LinkedIn and attaches a PDF, the post gets engagement - but the award programme gets nothing. No traffic, no backlinks, no brand reinforcement.

Award certificates should work harder than this. They should be shareable, verifiable, and drive value back to your programme every time they're displayed.

How TRUE transforms workplace award certificates

TRUE replaces static PDFs with blockchain-secured, beautifully designed digital certificates that winners actually want to share.

Designed to impress

Animated, interactive, and branded to your programme. They look like something a company wants on their homepage, in their annual report, and across every social channel.

Shareable as links

Not files - links. Winners share them on LinkedIn, embed them on careers pages, include them in job listings. Every link drives traffic back to your domain.

Verifiable by anyone

Every certificate includes a QR code and verification link. When someone sees a "Top Employer 2026" claim, they can verify it in seconds.

Blockchain-secured

Written to Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, or Polygon. No one can forge, alter, or create fake award certificates. Protected by cryptographic proof.

Your domain, your brand

Certificates live on your programme's own domain. Every verification, every share, every click reinforces your brand and drives traffic to your website.

Trusted by global award leaders

Universum

The global employer branding company uses TRUE to issue their Employer of Choice award diplomas. When the world's leading employer brand researchers trust TRUE for their flagship award, it validates the platform's ability to deliver at the highest level.

Great place to work

The globally recognised workplace certification programme uses TRUE to issue their workplace certification certificates. Companies that earn this certification share it widely, and TRUE makes that sharing beautiful, verifiable, and valuable.

The marketing multiplier effect

Here's what makes employer branding certificates different from most credentials: the winner actively wants to share them. No one needs to be encouraged. Companies will post their award certificate on LinkedIn, on their website, in job ads, and in investor presentations.

Every share promotes two brands simultaneously:

1.
The winning company - "Look, we're certified!"
2.
Your award programme - "This certification comes from us"

"TRUE has helped issuers generate 100M+ marketing impressions across all credential types. For award programmes, where sharing is the whole point, the multiplier is even stronger."
