Fake hires are getting more advanced and are presenting serious security risks for organizations. Impersonators now use stolen or fake identities, artificially generated images, selfies or videos (deepfakes) and coordinated multinational fraud networks to slip undetected through your hiring funnel. Without a strong identity verification process at the start of your screening process, these threats increase your security risk, drive up costs, and slow down your hiring.

Accurate Identity Verification (“IDV”) adds a quick government issued ID check and liveness detection check, so you can assess that you are hiring real, authentic employees, not imposters.

Increased fraud exposure

Without robust identity verification, organizations are vulnerable to sophisticated candidate fraud schemes, which have the potential to result in financial loss, data breaches, and reputational harm.

Brand and trust erosion

One security or fraud incident can erode trust with clients, partners, and candidates and threaten long-term business growth.

Operational inefficiency

Manual verification processes increase the risk of costly errors while also draining resources and slowing down hiring.

Competitive disadvantage

Organizations with outdated, slow verification processes may lose top candidates to competitors with a more secure, quick and candidate-friendly experience.

Deliver the smooth experience your talent expects

New hires can complete their verification via web or mobile browser — no app download required — to make for a more efficient process. Reduce friction and form abandonments and accelerate onboarding, enhancing employer brand and candidate experience.
