Accuracy
A live human, not a record
Proves a live, unique human in the interview. Background checks and E-Verify only confirm a document, and a manual webcam check can be forged.
Candidate verification
Stop candidate fraud in its tracks
Protect your recruiting process with real-time biometric verification.
The challenge
Hiring has become an attack surface
The applicant in your interview process may not show up on Day 1. They may not even be a real person. Modern attackers run real-time deepfakes, apply with stolen or synthetic identities, and hire proxies to sit technical screens.
Your ATS, background checks, E-Verify, and webcam ID check only confirm a document or a record. They don't confirm that the human on camera is who they claim to be.

Customer review
What is candidate verification?
Candidate verification confirms that a job applicant is who they claim to be, validating their identity document, matching it to their biometric, and ensuring the person in the interview or onboarding flow is the genuine applicant.
How does AI candidate verification differ from a traditional background check?
Traditional background checks validate credentials and criminal history after the fact. AI candidate verification confirms identity in real time, at the point of interview or onboarding, preventing fraudulent applicants from ever getting through.
What is interview fraud, and how is it increasing?
Interview fraud occurs when a candidate uses a proxy, deepfake, or AI tool to substitute another person during video interviews. It is rising fast with remote hiring and generative AI tools that make real-time face swapping accessible.
Can candidate verification work for remote and global hiring?
Yes. Cloud-based candidate verification platforms like Incode support identity documents from 200+ countries, making them suitable for global distributed hiring without in-person checks.
How does candidate verification integrate with ATS and HR platforms?
Modern candidate verification solutions integrate via API or pre-built connectors with major ATS platforms such as Greenhouse, Lever, and Workday, embedding verification steps directly into existing hiring workflows.
