Recruiting

In the age of remote work, an identity check should be introduced as early as an interview to make sure the individual on the video call is the same one that shows up on the first day of work.

Benefits:

  • Save time by collecting accurate candidate data upfront
  • Verify identity remotely with ease
  • Mitigate risk of sophisticated identity fraud

Hiring

Candidate biographical data collected upfront through identity verification automatically feeds into the background check, reducing delays due to intentional or accidental typos and improving the quality of the data used in the background check.

Benefits:

  • Minimize hiring delays from candidate data errors
  • Improved accuracy of screening results
  • Scales with your growing hiring needs

Onboarding

On the first day of work, consider cross-checking ID documentation against the identity information from the background check before the individual gains access to system logins.

Benefits:

  • Adherence to compliance with legal and regulatory standards
  • Speeds up onboarding by reducing manual paperwork
  • Safeguard company systems, data and property

Why Identity Verification is Essential to Protect Your Business

Inaccurate Candidate Data

Incorrect data entered by candidates — either intentionally or from accidental typos — can result in quality loss in a background check.

AI-Driven Fraud

Traditional identity methods may no longer be sufficient as advanced technology, including AI tools, is making it easier than ever for candidates to manipulate identities during the hiring process.

Identity Verification FAQs

Digital identity verification is how businesses check that an individual is who they claim to be, verifying through technology that the personal information they have provided isn’t fake or stolen (i.e., identity fraud). Some of the most recognized identity methods include telecom and device, biographic data, ID document review, and liveness detection with facial recognition.

Identity verification during recruiting, hiring, and onboarding offers employers several advantages, including risk mitigation, a streamlined hiring process, improved data quality, and a frictionless candidate experience.

Our digital identity solutions use AI and machine learning technology to verify identity in seconds in most cases. While exact turnaround times vary due to the number of methods used, it’s generally a very fast process, averaging between 30 to 90 seconds.

If a discrepancy is found during the identity process, you will receive details about where the potential discrepancy was found, as well as next steps and guidance. Once you have verified the candidate’s identity, you can choose whether to proceed with the background screen.

Many countries have put digital identity requirements as a part of the hiring process and though not required in others, consideration of the benefits of identity solutions is becoming a much more common practice.
