A verified Meta Business Account is required to implement WhatsApp Hiring without unnecessary delays and to ensure additional benefits in later usage.
❌ If the account is not verified:
Approvals (e.g., WhatsApp templates) often take up to 24 hours or longer
Rejections from Meta are more likely
Review times or restrictions cannot be accelerated or bypassed
✅ With a verified account:
Implementation runs significantly faster
Templates and changes are usually approved within a few minutes
Future expansions (e.g., new templates or higher sending limits) are easier to implement
💡 Tip: Involve the marketing team early
Access to the Meta Business Manager often lies with the marketing team or a central digital department.
Our recommendation:
Involve the responsible team early to avoid delays during setup.
How to check your verification status in advance
The status can be viewed directly in the Meta Business Manager.
Path:
Business Settings → Business Info → Business Status
Here you can see whether the business status is marked as “Verified.”

How to start the Meta Business Account verification process
If the Meta Business Account is not verified, the verification process can be started directly in the Meta Business Manager:
During the verification process, it is important to provide accurate and consistent company information, including:
Exact legal company name (as officially registered)
Official company address
Domain of the corporate website
Recommended verification method
We strongly recommend choosing email verification, as it is typically the fastest and most reliable option.
The verification email should be sent to an address that:
Uses the company domain (e.g., name@company.com)
Clearly belongs to the organization
Is not based on generic email providers (e.g., Gmail, Outlook)
Additional notes for a smooth verification process
Ensure that all company details match official records and the information on the website
The company website should be active, accessible, and clearly branded
Avoid changing business information during the verification process, as this may cause delays or require re-verification
⚠️ Important Hint
Do not create a new Meta Business Account if your company already has one. Only one account is allowed per company, and duplicates can cause issues or even lead to account suspension.
