How it works
i.
Add a candidate
Create an Alibly review in under a minute. The candidate receives an email invitation.
ii.
Candidate authorises
The candidate reviews what data is shared, consents, and authorises access to their professional network data through secure, official channels.
iii.
Review the report
Alibly analyses connection patterns to deliver a visual report on each role, the candidate's network, and potential references. Explore, export, share with the hiring team.
Data is accessed through the candidate's own EU data portability rights. No data is shared without their explicit consent.

Part I
Employment corroboration
A per-role review of connection history and timing inside each claimed employer, built from the candidate's own network data.
Reading the chart
- Shaded band: the claimed employment window.
- Each bar counts new connections formed inside the employer in that month.
- Dashed lines mark the start and end of the window.
- A classification badge summarises the overall pattern for that role.
Senior Account Director
Aug 2019 to Jul 2021
Connections at ManufacturingCo
During the claimed employment period at ManufacturingCo, the candidate's professional network shows a clear and sustained social trace. Connection formation inside the company is markedly higher during the employment window than outside it, consistent with the stated tenure.
Recruiter, EMEA
Jan 2018 to Dec 2020
Connections at TalentCo
Across the three-year claimed tenure at TalentCo, the candidate's network shows very little internal social trace: only a couple of new connections formed inside the company during the window. Worth a direct conversation to understand the internal working context.

CV vs LinkedIn alignment
Upload the candidate's CV and compare every stated position against their own network data, so you spot where dates diverge, titles differ, or a role appears on only one source.
