Verified Talent for Every Placement
Staffing Powered by Verified Identity
Place qualified talent faster while closing the “paperwork passes, person is an impostor” gap that sophisticated fraudsters exploit.
Solutions
Built for staffing needs
Purpose-built features that address the unique verification challenges of your industry.
Go Beyond E-Verify
E-Verify largely vets documents, not the person presenting them. IDV ensures the authorized identity is the one actually employed.
Stop Identity Borrowing
Prevent bad actors from gaming work authorization systems with borrowed identities by binding a live biometric match to the documentation.
Instant Candidate Verification
Verify identity and authorization in minutes so recruiters can move candidates to start dates faster, with greater security.
Continuous Workforce Monitoring
Get alerts when a credential expires or a status changes, keeping placements fully compliant without friction.
Escalating Threat Landscape
A basic background check is not enough.
Regulatory bodies and cybersecurity experts agree: rigorous identity validation is your only viable defense in the hiring process.
