As AI continues to transform the workforce, more consumers are becoming conscious of how the businesses they support contribute to human employment.

Claim it free. Get verified. Build trust with a human audience.
Claiming your listing is free. Verification is reviewed by a real person, and the badge is only issued once you’ve been approved.
Add your business to the Human First Society directory, or claim the listing that’s already there. Share your details and a short note on why people matter to your work. It’s free.
Ready for the badge? Verification unlocks your official HFS Badge. Display it on your website to build trust and credibility with customers who care that real people work at your business.
Someone on our review panel checks your business by hand against the principles of Human First Society. No automated approvals. You’ll get a decision by email, with notes if your application isn’t approved.
Approved businesses receive a certificate number and the Human First Verified badge, ready to embed on your site. Renew each year to keep it current.
We look at the organization’s statement, its approach to human employment, and whether its commitment aligns with the principles of Human First.
We look for a meaningful reason why the organization continues to employ people and values the contribution they bring to its work.
Human First is about more than displaying a mark. We look for organizations whose stated values reflect an ongoing commitment to people and human contribution.
Human First verification is valid for 12 months. Organizations must reapply each year to maintain their verified status and reaffirm their commitment.
The badge links back to your live certificate on the HFS registry, so anyone can verify it wasn’t just pasted on — the same way a BBB or notary seal works.
