Verification you can trust
Every claim is verified by the employer that issued it — not by us. A badge sits next to the specific role, project, or qualification it attests to.

Why Sahan

Verified marks live next to the specific role or project.
Public profile URL, or A4 PDF in three editorial templates.
How verification works
Verification on Sahan isn't a vague global badge. You pick a single experience, project, or qualification and submit it for review. An admin contacts the issuing employer or client. When confirmed, the badge sits inline next to that one claim — both on your profile and on the PDF.

You shouldn't need design skills, a laptop, or an afternoon to produce a professional CV or company profile. With Sahan you fill in plain fields — once — and download a genuinely elegant PDF. Update anything later and regenerate in a tap. The hard part is done for you.
Most people here build their profile on a phone, so that's how Sahan is built — no app to install, no desktop required. Fill in, preview the real PDF on-screen, download.
Reach the minimum core — name, one experience, one skill — and your CV is ready to download. Enrich it whenever you like; nothing is ever re-typed.
A4, embedded fonts, print-clean, with curated colour themes. Recruiters and tender panels see a polished document — not a form someone filled in.
About
Sahan is built for the East Africa humanitarian and engineering sector — a context where a one-line LinkedIn job title leaves out almost everything that matters: which donor, which region, which actual outcome.
Mission
Make verifiable professional records the default in our sector, so the right people get hired for the right work.
Vision
A Horn of Africa where every consultant, engineer and firm has a record that earns trust at first glance.
Privacy
Sensitive fields are private by default. Referee contacts never leave admin review. Evidence is admin-only.
