Identity verification

Fast, reliable identity verification to help you identify candidate fraud without slowing down hiring.

Stop identity fraud at the source

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.

Identity fraud – the cost of inaction

Gartner predicts that 1 in 4 candidates will be fake by 2028.

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Organizations with outdated, slow verification processes may lose top candidates to competitors with a more secure, quick and candidate-friendly experience.

How Accurate handles identity verification

Accurate’s government ID and selfie verification can help you stop bad actors before they gain access to your organization by identifying common fraud indicators like impersonations, deepfakes and AI-generated videos. This is especially critical as synthetic IDs and AI-driven deepfakes become more common. For most new hires, verification takes less than a minute, allowing the system to assess their authenticity with minimal friction. See how it works below:

Quick government ID verifications

The new hire uploads a government ID via mobile or desktop. This process verifies the government-issued ID aligns with the jurisdiction parameters. Then it evaluates the photograph by comparing with the candidate’s live selfie, checking for signs for tampering, forgery or impersonations, which aids in helping verify the authenticity of the government-issued ID.

Liveness detection

The technology performs liveness and related selfie assessments to affirm the applicant is a real person and not a deepfake or AI-generated video.

Person/ID match confirmation

The next step in the process compares the selfie to the ID headshot to assess whether the same person is depicted.
