Why Identity is Essential to Protect Your Business

Inaccurate Candidate Data

Incorrect data entered by candidates - either intentionally or from accidental typos - can result in additional cost and time in a background check.

Sophisticated 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.

Remote Work Challenges

The rise of remote work means fewer in-person interactions, making it difficult to flag inconsistencies. Also, fake job seekers have increasingly been targeting companies who are hiring for remote positions.2

Common Identity Verification Questions

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 verification 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 helping to mitigate potential risks, a streamlined hiring process, improved data quality, and a frictionless candidate experience.

A handful of countries and regions have established digital verification and digital right-to-work frameworks for foreign workers, remote hires, and regulated industries.

If a candidate is not successful with completing their identity verification, the employer will receive reasons about which type of 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 check.
