Client references
References the client actually confirmed
A logo wall is a claim. A Hansala reference is a mutual record: the provider lists the engagement, the client confirms it, and only then does it appear on the public profile.
Who this is for. Service firms that need credible client lists for RFPs, websites, and partner diligence — without inventing names or waiting for PDF letters.
What “confirmed” means here
Confirmed means both companies acted on Hansala. The provider cannot mark a client as confirmed unilaterally. Pending invitations stay private until the other side accepts.
Visitors never see a half-finished claim. That is the product rule the whole network rests on — not a marketing flourish.
How teams use confirmed references
Attach your public Hansala profile to an RFP response. Reviewers can open the live record instead of chasing stale PDFs.
Embed a reference strip on your site so updates appear when a new client confirms — without republishing your marketing site.
Share a single link in partner diligence. Domain verification (when present) proves who controls the business domain; confirmed references prove who confirmed the work.
What stays off the page
Pending invitations, declined requests, and disputes never appear as public negatives. A dispute removes the record from view while it is reviewed privately.
Hansala does not invent clients, ratings, or “top vendor” badges. Empty sections are omitted — not padded with placeholders.
Practical checklist
- Claim and verify your company domain when you can
- Invite real clients with a clear engagement description
- Publish only after confirmation — never screenshot pending states
- Link the public profile from proposals and your website
What this is not
- Not a review site or star ratings
- Not a paid “verified client” badge for sale
- Not a substitute for contractual NDAs — undisclosed clients stay unnamed when disclosure rules require it
