    Why it matters

    Don’t just display your commitment. Make it discoverable by AI.

    Candidates are increasingly turning to AI to research potential employers.

    When an employer makes a public commitment to responding to every applicant, that commitment should be supported by factual evidence candidates can find beyond the employer’s own careers website.

    CBI provides an independent, publicly maintained source documenting that commitment.

    What it is

    A public CBI record, maintained by CBI.

    Each eligible Silver and Gold employer has a permanent profile showing its commitment, entry assessment confirmation, membership tier and year, current status and a stable record reference. The page text and its structured data say the same thing, so people and automated systems read the same facts.

    What CBI verifies
    • Public commitment

      The employer has committed to CBI’s published standards, including responding to every job applicant.

    • Successful entry assessment

      Before approval, CBI submits an application and requires the employer to communicate an unsuccessful application outcome. The employer met that requirement during the assessment.

    • Current membership status

      The record shows whether the employer currently holds an approved, paid Silver or Gold membership, and updates when that changes.

    What CBI does not guarantee
    • Membership does not represent continuous monitoring or ongoing compliance auditing.

    • One entry assessment does not prove that every application receives a response throughout the year.

    • CBI cannot guarantee search indexing, AI mentions or citations.

    • It is not a government accreditation or an independent certification beyond the CBI process described here.

    How it works

    From approval to discovery.

    1. 01

      Approval

      The employer completes CBI’s existing membership application, entry assessment, approval and payment.

    2. 02

      Publication

      CBI publishes the approved public commitment record at a permanent web address.

    3. 03

      Connection

      The employer links its careers website to the public record.

    4. 04

      Discovery

      Search engines and AI systems can access the published information.

    What employers receive
    • Public commitment profile at a permanent CBI web address
    • Independently documented entry assessment
    • Machine-readable information that matches the page
    • Website publishing resources and suggested wording
    Independence and trust
    • CBI charges membership fees.
    • Bronze, Silver and Gold employers must all pass the same entry assessment.
    • Payment does not guarantee approval, and fees never influence the assessment result.
    • Silver and Gold records use exactly the same verification standard; Gold’s additional fee buys other services, not stronger verification.
    Available with Silver and Gold

    Included with Silver (AUD $500) and Gold (AUD $750) Employer Membership.

    Bronze members keep their basic public directory listing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Questions about AI-Ready Verified Commitment

    What is CBI AI-Ready Verified Commitment?

    A Silver and Gold membership feature: an independently maintained public CBI record of your commitment to responding to every applicant, published as readable page content and structured data.

    What exactly does CBI verify?

    That the employer committed to CBI’s published standards, successfully completed CBI’s membership entry assessment, and currently holds an approved membership where shown.

    How independent is the verification?

    CBI conducts the entry assessment itself. Every tier must meet the same requirement, payment does not guarantee approval, and fees do not influence the result.

    Does CBI continuously monitor employers?

    No. The record reflects the entry assessment and current membership status. It is not continuous monitoring or a guarantee that every application receives a response.

    Is this an official certification?

    No. It is a CBI membership record that documents exactly what CBI has verified. It is not a government accreditation or certification.

    Can AI engines read the commitment?

    The record is publicly accessible without signing in, delivered as readable HTML with matching structured data, linked from the CBI website and included in the CBI sitemap.

    Will ChatGPT or Google cite my profile?

    CBI cannot guarantee indexing, AI mentions or citations. The feature is designed to support discovery, not guarantee it.

    How do I link my employer website?

    Eligible members receive their record link and suggested careers-page wording. You can add that wording to your careers pages, job adverts and email signatures — no code is required.

    What happens when membership expires?

    The record changes to “Membership Expired”, active verification claims are removed and the record stops presenting itself as current. The web address stays the same and is restored when the membership is renewed.

    Is the feature included with Bronze?

    No. Bronze members keep a basic public directory listing. The dedicated profile and publishing resources are Silver and Gold benefits.

    Is the verification different for Silver and Gold?

    No. Silver and Gold employers receive the identical AI-Ready Verified Commitment and meet the same entry requirement.
