Identity verification: The simplest and fastest way to do it.

We know all the work and effort involved in the process of selecting, hiring, and integrating personnel, but the good news is that there are certain steps that can be completely automated and seamlessly integrated into your recruitment workflow. What are they? Such as criminal background checks and identity verification—which we will discuss more in this article.

Why is it important to incorporate identity verification into your recruitment process?

Verifying that candidates are truly who they claim to be will help prevent future fraud committed by personnel within your organization.

Fraud is the main crime that results from identity theft or forgery. Occupational fraud not only damages the brand image and the service provided to customers, but can also result in costly fines or legal consequences for your company.

Occupational fraud can be prevented by incorporating identity verification as an essential part of the recruitment process. But this step doesn’t have to become another item on your to-do list, as there are tools like Emptor that automate it and integrate perfectly with the programs you already use. So here we’ll tell you about the simplest and fastest way to do identity verification.

How does automated identity verification work?

At Emptor, we use an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system to verify the authenticity of the documents or information provided by the candidate, such as their official ID, driver’s license, or unique registration key, from various official sources.

In countries like Mexico, it is only necessary to enter the candidate’s CURP (Unique Population Registry Code) and Emptor will perform around 13 identity reports.

Once this information is used as the initial input, the AI will take care of the rest. At the end of the search, the system will provide a detailed report in which you will know if a certain candidate is who they claim to be and if they are properly registered in the public sources and official databases of each country.

Why is Emptor the easiest and simplest way to verify the identity of candidates?

Because the identity verification process will not take you more than a couple of clicks and it is done in a matter of seconds. Can you imagine the time it would take to manually verify the identity of each applicant in various public sources?

Emptor’s platform has an intuitive and easy-to-use dashboard, and it can be perfectly integrated into your recruitment workflow and programs through the API. This means that you can automatically obtain the results for each candidate from the onboarding process.

Another important aspect to mention is that identity verification can be done in bulk without taking more time or sacrificing quality. All you have to do is upload a .CSV file with the required identity data, and Emptor will take care of performing all those verifications automatically. For this reason, it can be considered a 100% scalable solution.

It is also secure in terms of the treatment and protection of candidate data, as it adapts to comply with the specific regulations of each country regarding privacy issues.

In addition, our hybrid process combines AI with legal experts, which allows us to have the highest approval rate in the region (98%) and ensure that we do not take opportunities away from reliable people.

Didi uses Emptor’s automated solution to be able to exponentially grow its driver base while maintaining the highest safety standards for its passengers. Thanks to the fact that with Emptor all drivers go through an identity verification and criminal background check process, they ensure that they are recruiting partners they can trust and who do not represent a future risk to the company.
