Verifying candidate identity is one of the most important steps in the hiring process, especially in ensuring compliance and safeguarding against fraud. We’re excited to share updates to our national ID check process that streamline verification, reduce unnecessary warnings, and provide clearer explanations when issues arise.
Let’s explore how these improvements can enhance your hiring workflow and make ID verification smoother and more reliable.
The challenge with previous national ID checks
The national ID verification process is crucial, but it hasn’t always been perfect. Our clients and internal teams have provided feedback indicating that there were several areas for improvement. Some of the key issues included:
- Confusing warning messages, even for successful checks.
- Occasional "stuck" statuses that left some checks indefinitely in progress.
- Limited detail provided when checks failed, making it difficult to understand the specific reason for the failure.
These issues led to inefficiencies and delays, requiring extra follow-ups and manual interventions to resolve uncertainty and move forward with hiring decisions.
Our solution: streamlined national ID verification
We’ve taken all this feedback into account and introduced several key improvements to the national ID check process:
- Eliminated unnecessary warnings: For clear results, we’ve removed confusing warning messages like "age score too low" or "name score too low." Now, only warnings that truly require attention will be shown, ensuring you can focus on the important details.
- Resolved stuck statuses: We've fixed the edge case that sometimes left checks indefinitely "in progress." All checks will now reach a definitive outcome, allowing you to stay updated without additional follow-ups.
- Clearer explanations for failed checks: We’ve enhanced the explanations provided for failed checks, adding more context so you know exactly what went wrong. Detailed messages like "Face match confidence score between selfie and ID document is too low" will help you understand the specific issues and decide on next steps.
How this benefits your hiring workflow
- Less Confusion: By removing irrelevant warnings, the results you see are now clearer, helping you understand which checks need further action without second-guessing.
- Increased Efficiency: With the elimination of stuck statuses, you can avoid delays and maintain momentum in your hiring process, keeping everything on schedule.
- Better Decision-Making: Clearer explanations for failed checks mean you can quickly assess the reason for failure and take the appropriate next steps, whether it’s requesting additional information or deciding on an alternative verification method.
Using the improved national ID verification process
The improved national ID verification process is available immediately. Simply proceed with your identity checks as you normally would, and you’ll experience fewer interruptions, more accurate results, and clear guidance on any issues that arise.
We’re committed to making the hiring process as seamless as possible for you and your team. With these enhancements, we hope that national ID verification becomes faster, simpler, and more dependable than ever before.
