Government ID + selfie — the Identity pillar

Scan a driving licence, passport or ID card and take a live selfie on the identity provider's hosted page (or, on the desk-review setting, upload the ID to the checkpoint below for a person to check); your legal name comes back verified and every registry lookup below is matched against it. A small per-check fee is paid by 3-W only when you verify for a paid track (Tracks 1–14) or claim a paid seat — Track 15 Ground Support volunteers never trigger it. 3-W never sees or stores the document, only the verified name and date of birth.

Checking…

Instant primary-source verification (under 3 s) — registry · NPPES NPI · FCC ULS · FAA airmen · issuer eCard link

Stamps the vault from the issuing body itself: a state-board public record, your NPI on CMS NPPES, or the verification link printed on an AHA / Red Cross / IBSC / BCEN / SPRAT / NREMT / Credly eCard. Anything that cannot be confirmed live is queued for the desk — never auto-stamped. Upload stays available below.

Credential Verification

Verify Your Credentials

Your profile isn't visible to employers until an admin verifies every required checkpoint below. Each admin review is a manual check against the issuing body's public registry — expect it to take a little while, not instantly.

Rapid Deployment

Deployment Availability

Switch this on to be texted for urgent crew calls that match your level and training — each text has the incident, role, location, report time, duration and daily rate, and a one-tap link to accept. Only while your credentials are verified.

Mobile number

Emergency contact — name

Emergency contact — phone

Goes only on the compliance manifest / ICS-211 check-in list of a call you have accepted. Never public.

Available for Deployment — turn this off while you're on shift at your primary agency or already deployed, and you won't be contacted. You can also toggle it from your phone: text AVAIL or OFF to the number crew calls come from (and STATUS to check).

Volunteer SAR Callouts

Sheriff's offices, county emergency management, and state SAR coordinators can page verified volunteers within a radius of an incident command post — unpaid, under their incident command. Opt in, set your home base, and you'll only be texted for callouts whose ICP is within reach.

I volunteer for SAR callouts — text me when a verified agency needs my level and training near my home base (still subject to Available for Deployment above).

Home base (label)

Home base coordinate (decimal degrees)

Paste from Google Maps (right-click a spot → the numbers at the top) or tap the button. Only the distance to an ICP is ever computed from this; it's not shown to anyone.

Advocacy · Bring Your Team

Invite, verify, earn

Your personal invite link puts a teammate into the credential-first sign-up. When they complete verification you both get a month of the Credential Vault, and every verified referral moves you up the advocate ladder — recognition, patches, a direct line to the founder.

Used for your Stripe receipt and if we have questions about the listing during review.

Application link (optional)

If your agency takes applications on its own site, the Apply button sends candidates there. Leave blank and they apply through the board.

Poster image (optional · JPG/PNG/WEBP, 600–4000 px wide, under 3 MB)

Shown at the top of the listing's own page and in the card that unfurls when the link is shared. The recruiting graphic you already post on social media works as-is.

Listing upgrades (optional)

When several contractors are hiring the same credentials in the same region, the listing that holds the top position secures the available personnel first. Added to the same checkout.

Front Page Highlight +$150 Increase visibility on the main candidate dashboard. This upgrade applies a high-contrast border and displays your company logo directly on the main feed, ensuring your listing is visually distinct from standard text posts. Standard placement included Listed in chronological order with every other open role. Priority Search Placement +$300 Secure the first position in candidate search results. When a verified provider searches for your required credentials or geographic region, your open role will remain pinned at position #1, regardless of chronological posting order. This prevents your listing from being pushed down by competing contractors. 30 days, starting when the listing is approved. Priority Mobilization Package +$500 Execute an immediate deployment order. This packages the Priority Search Placement with one targeted SMS broadcast. Your listing is pinned to the top of the search results, and an immediate text message alert is sent directly to the mobile devices of all available candidates holding the required credentials. 14-day pin; the text goes to verified, available providers holding every credential tagged above, the moment the listing is approved.

Unlimited Postings

$999/year

Post as many roles as you need, all year — built for high-turnover municipal services and private transport operators.

Already subscribed under this account's email? Listings you post here are covered by the plan automatically — no payment step.

Billing

Crew-Call Fees & Active Season

You pay for outcomes, not job ads. Two fees, both charged to the card you save here: an urgent broadcast fee of $249 when a crew call goes out, and a per-seat success fee of $350 the moment a verified provider accepts. Running a season? Active Season is $1,200/month: unlimited broadcasts included and the seat fee drops to $250. Cancel any time. Volunteer crew calls are free: pick “Volunteer — unpaid” when you draft a call of any type and there is no broadcast fee, no seat fee and no card needed.

Purchase order & invoice terms (enterprise / agency accounts)

Large incidents are never charged seat by seat to a card: any crew call of 50 seats or more accrues to a monthly invoice automatically, with your PO number on it. Accounts that pay everything on net terms can request that here; the Dispatch Desk approves it and Broadcast unlocks without a card.

How accepted providers are engaged

Under IRCA every paid W-2 hire needs a Form I-9. When you pick W-2, each provider who accepts gets a Section 1 step on their confirmation page and you get a Section 2 deadline on the roster, with the completed form kept in a separate I-9 file — never in the credential packet. Volunteers and independent contractors are exempt.

Incident support mode — ICS alignment, mobilisation radius, staging lock (optional)

For auxiliary seats under a Unified Command (support, rehab, behavioral health, staging): the seat carries an ICS section and position, pages only operators inside the mobilisation radius, and withholds the physical reporting address until the operator accepts (and clears Form I-9 on W-2 seats). Nothing here deploys anyone into the hot zone — these are Logistics / Planning support seats.

Jurisdictional escort lock (Track 11)

Sets the seat's position so only register-verified statutory escorts are paged.

Incident number

ICS section

ICS position code

Overrides the automatic tag below on the manifest / ICS-211.

Designated incident commander (callsign)

Tier 113 path A: when this callsign accepts a seat, command is handed to them (they acknowledge the ICS-201 briefing). Path B: add an ICT · Incident Commander position — the first verified operator to accept it is handed command.

Liaison desk (LNO)

Incident coordinate (for the radius)

Mobilisation radius (miles) — pages only operators with a home point inside it

Staging lock — the live board shows no incident detail; the Staging field above is the public label only (e.g. "Staging Area Alpha — Rehab Sector"); the physical reporting address below goes only to operators who have accepted (and cleared Form I-9 on W-2 seats).

Physical reporting address (released on acceptance)

Clinical governance — medical director, standing orders, interstate reciprocity (clinical seats)

Shown to every accepted operator on their deployment brief: who they practise under, the standing-orders PDF they will follow, and the basis on which an out-of-state licence is honoured. Record-keeping support, not legal advice — the medical director and state rules decide what applies.

International / NGO deployment — only providers who cleared all five international checkpoints (passport & background, 24 months' practice, immunizations & physical, HEAT / tropical / WHO EMT training, prior deployments) are texted.

Asset Requests & Blind Bids

Order hardware the way you order people: pick a class, set the delivery point and needed-by time, and every verified vendor carrying that class is paged with a one-tap bid link. Bids are blind — you see all of them with each vendor's compliance documents. Accept one and the rental agreement (OF-294), unit badges (OF-296), shift tickets (OF-297) and draft invoice (OF-286) follow automatically.

Bids close 6 hours after the request goes out (or 30 minutes before the needed-by time, whichever is sooner). No platform fee on asset awards; rate and terms are between you and the vendor.

Basecamp Sustainment PackageOrder a whole camp at once — WASH, cold-chain, power, light, sleep, food, comms, helibase

Give it the headcount the camp feeds and washes (fire crews + medical unit + overhead) and it sizes the full VIPR-aligned hardware order from planning factors — every line shows its factor, so change the quantities you disagree with, untick what the agency already has, then raise them. Each line goes out as its own numbered Asset Request and pages its own vendors; the linked Run # carries them all on one Incident Manifest.
