Executive Summary
If your PyjamaHR account is blocked due to company verification issues, you’ll need to provide specific company details and documents to restore access. This guide explains exactly what’s required, why it matters, and how to submit your information for the fastest possible resolution—so you can get back to hiring without delay.
Detailed Overview
Why Does PyjamaHR Block Accounts for Company Verification?
To protect candidates and maintain compliance with job boards like LinkedIn, PyjamaHR uses anti-spam AI filters to flag accounts with suspicious or incomplete company details. This is especially important due to rising fraud, fake job postings, and regulatory requirements from partners.
When does this happen?
- During sign-up or onboarding if your company website or LinkedIn URL is missing, invalid, or appears suspicious
- If your business registration documents are not provided or don’t match your company details
- If your LinkedIn company page is unclaimed, under construction, or not a true company page
- If your website is under construction, not live, or not clearly linked to your business
- If you’re a staffing/recruitment agency and LinkedIn has flagged your company for policy violations
Business Impact:
A block prevents you from posting jobs, accessing candidate data, or using any PyjamaHR features until verification is complete.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Provide Company Details or Documents to Unblock Your Account
Prerequisites
You must have a valid, working company website (not “under construction”)
You must have a LinkedIn company page (not a personal profile)
You must have a business registration document (see accepted types below)
You must be an authorized representative of your company
Step 1: Gather Required Information
You will need ALL of the following:
- Company Website URL: Must be live, functional, and clearly represent your business
- LinkedIn Company Page URL: Must be a company page, not a personal profile; must be claimed and active
- Business Registration Document:
- Certificate of Incorporation
- GST Certificate (India)
- EIN (US) or similar government-issued registration
- Udyam Registration (India)
- Articles of Organization (US LLC)
- Trade License, PAN, or other official proof of business registration
Special Cases:
- If your brand name and legal entity differ, provide a document linking the two (e.g., DBA, assumed name certificate)
- If you are a subsidiary or operating under a parent company, provide parent company registration and proof of relationship
Step 2: Submit Your Details
Where to submit:
- Directly in your PyjamaHR support chat (preferred and fastest)
- Or, if requested, via [email protected]
How to submit:
1. Paste your company website URL and LinkedIn company page URL in the chat.
2. Attach your business registration document as a PDF, image, or scan.
3. If requested, provide additional proof (e.g., GST number, EIN, or a link to a government registry).
4. If your company name and website/LinkedIn do not match, explain the relationship and provide supporting documentation.
Example Submission:
Company Website: https://www.examplecompany.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/examplecompany Business Registration: [Attach PDF of Certificate of Incorporation] GST Number: 29AAACX1234A1Z5 Note: "ExampleCompany" is the brand name; legal entity is "Example Tech Pvt Ltd" (see attached DBA certificate).
Step 3: Respond to Follow-Up Requests
If support requests a Zoom or Google Meet call, this is mandatory for manual verification.
Be prepared to show your face and screen-share documents if asked.
If your LinkedIn page is unclaimed or not a company page, you must fix this before proceeding.
If your website is not live, you must launch it before verification.
Step 4: Wait for Manual Review
Most accounts are reviewed within 10–30 minutes after all documents are provided.
You may be asked for clarification or additional documents if there are discrepancies.
Once approved, you’ll receive confirmation and your account will be unblocked.
Advanced Usage & Best Practices
Power User Tips
Keep your LinkedIn company page up-to-date and claimed. Unclaimed or personal profiles will be rejected.
Ensure your website is always live and matches your company name. “Under construction” pages will cause delays.
Have digital copies of your business registration ready. This speeds up the process if you’re ever blocked again.
If operating under a brand, always provide the legal entity linkage.
For staffing agencies: Be aware that LinkedIn has strict rules. If your agency is flagged, you may need to use a client’s LinkedIn page for job postings.
Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
- Use official company email addresses (not Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
- Respond promptly to support requests for calls or documents
- Double-check that your LinkedIn page is a company page, not a personal profile
Don’t:
- Submit personal LinkedIn profiles or non-functional websites
- Attempt to bypass verification with incomplete or mismatched documents
- Ignore requests for a Zoom/Google Meet call—this is required for manual verification
