Candidate fraud poses significant risks to compliance, operational efficiency, and organizational security—and it's on the rise in recent years. According to Glider AI, there was a staggering 92% increase in candidate fraud between 2020 and 2021, with contingent workers in tech and IT roles being the primary offenders.

You need solutions that bring both speed and certainty to identity validation, allowing you to focus on hiring the right talent without compromising security or compliance. IDVerity, Cisive’s cutting-edge identity authentication solution, provides HR professionals with a reliable, efficient, and compliant way to ensure candidates are who they claim to be.

By combining state-of-the-art technology with expert review, IDVerity strengthens your hiring process against fraud and fake candidates, while improving the candidate experience.

Head Off the Hidden Impact of Candidate Fraud

The consequences of candidate fraud extend far beyond surface-level risks. Fraudulent hires can infiltrate your workforce and create serious ripple effects that damage your organization in unexpected ways. Insider threats, for instance, can result in data breaches, theft, or sabotage, jeopardizing your business’s security.

These risks are particularly acute in highly regulated industries like finance or healthcare, where compliance is non-negotiable. Fraudulent employees in these sectors can lead to costly audits, fines, and even legal consequences.

Even beyond compliance, candidate fraud erodes trust within your organization. When a fraudulent hire disrupts workflows or compromises sensitive information, it sends ripples through your teams. Employees may lose confidence in leadership, and your brand reputation could take a hit if the issue becomes public. These hidden costs of fraud can undermine both morale and productivity, making proactive prevention essential.

IDVerity provides a critical safeguard by catching fraud early in the hiring process, before continuing your pre-employment background checks. Its ability to authenticate government-issued IDs in real time ensures you’re hiring genuine candidates before they ever step through the door.

The solution goes further by comparing the ID with a live selfie using biometric facial recognition, making it nearly impossible for fraudulent applicants to pass undetected. This ensures that your team can trust every new hire, protecting your operations and building confidence within your workforce.

Build Confidence With Smarter Identity Validation

Effective hiring isn’t just about keeping fraud out—it’s about building trust and confidence for everyone involved. HR leaders need tools they can rely on, while job seekers want assurance that their data is secure. IDVerity addresses both sides by combining precision and simplicity, ensuring that identity validation is fast, accurate, and seamless.

IDVerity can validate more than 300 types of government-issued IDs, covering a wide range of global formats. This comprehensive coverage ensures that regardless of where your candidates are located, their identities can be validated with confidence.

The platform also incorporates facial recognition technology to compare the ID photo with the candidate’s live selfie. This eliminates ambiguity, providing HR teams with definitive proof that the person presenting the ID is who they claim to be.

By building trust into your hiring process, IDVerity allows HR teams to make data-backed decisions without hesitation. For candidates, this level of transparency and security reinforces their confidence in your organization. A smoother, faster process also improves the candidate experience, making them feel valued from the start. This dual benefit—trust for HR teams and candidates alike—ensures a hiring process that aligns with the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

Streamline Identity Validation for Maximum Efficiency

Hiring timelines are tight, and identity validation shouldn’t slow you down. With IDVerity, you can embed robust identity checks into your workflow without sacrificing speed or efficiency, improving the hiring process. The mobile-friendly platform allows candidates to complete the entire process in under a minute, ensuring minimal disruption to your onboarding schedule.

IDVerity’s real-time results mean you no longer have to wait for manual reviews or rely on outdated validation methods. The solution immediately flags any inconsistencies or issues with a candidate’s ID, enabling your team to make informed decisions on the spot. If a validation fails, HR teams can quickly decide whether to request additional documentation or move to an in-person review. This agility helps you keep hiring timelines on track without compromising security.

The platform is designed with simplicity in mind, making it easy for both HR teams and candidates to use. Applicants receive clear instructions via the IDVerity mobile app, allowing them to upload their ID and selfie with ease.
