Applicant VID
Verify identity before fraud becomes a hiring problem.
AI has made it easier for fraudulent applicants to move further into the hiring process. Employers are now seeing more AI-generated applications, false candidate profiles, synthetic identities, deepfake interviews, and situations where the person who interviews or completes onboarding may not be the same person who reports for work. Applicant VID from SimpliVerified helps employers verify applicant identity earlier in the background screening process, reducing fraud-related screening waste and helping teams hire with greater confidence.
- AI-generated applicant fraud
- Synthetic identity risk
- Candidate impersonation
- Deepfake interview concerns
- Wasted background screening costs
- Onboarding delays caused by identity uncertainty
- Risk from mismatched or questionable candidate information
Identity verification for a new era of AI-driven applicant fraud.
Protect Your Hiring Process From Emerging Fraud
Applicant fraud is becoming more sophisticated. Your screening process should keep pace. Applicant VID gives employers a practical way to verify identity earlier, reduce fraud-related waste, and improve confidence in the hiring process. Contact SimpliVerified to learn how Applicant VID can be added to your background screening workflow.
What is Applicant VID
Applicant VID is SimpliVerified’s identity verification solution for employment screening. It helps employers confirm that applicants are who they claim to be before or during the background screening process.
Does Applicant VID change our ordering process?
In most cases, no. Applicant VID can be added directly into your existing SimpliVerified background screening process, forms, and packages.
Why should we add identity verification?
Identity verification helps reduce the risk of fraudulent applicants, synthetic identities, candidate impersonation, and wasted screening spend. It also supports a more consistent and documented hiring process.
Is Applicant VID useful for remote hiring?
Yes. Applicant VID is especially helpful for employers using remote interviews, remote onboarding, or distributed hiring processes where identity verification can be more difficult.
Is Applicant VID only for high-risk roles?
No. It can be used broadly across hiring workflows, but it is especially valuable for remote roles, safety-sensitive positions, credentialed roles, financial positions, healthcare roles, transportation roles, and high-volume hiring environments.
How do we add Applicant VID?
Contact your SimpliVerified account manager or reach out through our contact page. Applicant VID can be added to your screening workflow for a small incremental cost.
