Identity Verification
Verify Identity Before Starting a Background Check
Background checks are a vital part of the hiring process, but they are dependent on candidates providing accurate and complete identity information. Candidates may also (either intentionally or accidentally) provide inaccurate identity information. This makes verifying candidate-provided data an essential first step in the hiring process to protect your business.
