First Advantage and IDMe Announce FCRA-Compliant Identity Fraud Detection Product, Setting a New Standard for Hiring Trust
The Very Real Future of Digital Identity in the Pre-Employment Process
In the US, most employers don’t do any sort of identity verification during the pre-employment stages of the hiring process despite the misconception that they do. This creates multiple opportunities for “bad” hires, including:
- fraudsters using stolen or borrowed identities to onboard with an employer
- [intentional or unintentional] biographic data errors being used in background screens, skewing what’s ultimately reported back to the prospective employer
Taylor Liggett, the Head of Identity at Sterling, reviews this vulnerability for employers, how Sterling’s partnership with ID.me can directly address, and the future of digital identity on the most recent episode of the RecruitingDaily podcast with William Tincup.
