Djinni has introduced a new option: candidates can confirm Ukrainian citizenship through the Diya app — using the "Antibot" service. The Ministry of Digital Transformation announced the integration as a step toward a safer digital environment. The platform emphasizes: verification is voluntary, and foreign specialists are not going anywhere.

How It Works Technically

"Antibot" does not transmit the candidate's personal data to the recruiter — neither name nor document number. The service only confirms the fact of authorization through the Diya app, meaning it registers: you are dealing with a real person with Ukrainian citizenship. According to the Ministry of Digital Transformation, that is precisely its value — without complex KYC procedures and without collecting sensitive information.

Djinni was built on anonymity from the start: the recruiter does not see the candidate's name and contacts until they choose to grant access. "Antibot" fits into this logic — it adds one public signal to the profile without revealing anything unnecessary.

A Signal of Trust or a New Selection Standard?

The IT labor market in Ukraine is currently skewed toward candidates with experience: 16% of specialists seeking employment receive 80% of all recruiter offers — this is shown by Djinni's internal statistics. In this context, a verification badge could turn from an option into an unspoken marker of a "serious" profile — even if the platform sets no obligation.

"Antibot" does not transmit user personal data, but only authorizes through the Diya app — quickly and safely.

A separate dimension is the issue of bot farms and fake profiles, which concerns any hiring platform. Verification through a state app technically makes mass generation of fictitious candidates significantly more expensive. This is an argument in favor of integration even outside the citizenship context.

What Remains Behind the Scenes

Djinni is one of the few IT platforms that publishes detailed market analytics. As of today, it has registered over 87,000 candidates online and approximately 8,000 active vacancies. What share of candidates will use verification — and whether employers will start filtering search by this criterion — the platform has not yet disclosed.

The question is not whether the badge is useful. The question is how much time will pass before recruiters start treating its absence as a reason not to write first — and whether a "verified candidates only" filter will appear on Djinni before the platform officially makes this a norm.
