Bumble users and professionals around the world will be seamlessly integrated into the experience in the same manner as Bumble dating and Bumble BFF. Bumble Bizz will include a photo verification tool designed to help ensure people are who they say are. Beyond profile photos, a user’s Bumble Bizz profile will include a digital resume, in addition to a skills section showcasing the users’ talents and accolades. Users can also include examples of their work in additional profile cards.
