Digital Identity Verification checks add another layer of protection against fraud to your company. It also speeds up the onboarding process, turning a previously manual task, into a fully automated one.
There are 5 main advantages to Digital Identity Verification checks: Saving time - the clearest advantage of moving to a digital process is the time saved to the employer and the Candidate. Rather than having to manually check each Candidate's documents in person, and store them properly, Vetting.com will do both jobs in one go! Speed – by passing the responsibility over to the Candidate to upload their documents on to Vetting.com during the application process, the whole ID checking process speeds up. Reliability – as with any digital process, Digital Identity Verification removes the risk of human error, ensuring your Candidates are who they say they are. Quality – Digital Identity Verification scans the biometric data on the ID document, ensuring it hasn't been forged. Worldwide availability – Vetting.com can check documents from over 200 countries
Only a few minutes! That's the joy of it – you request a Digital Identity Verification check from your Candidate as part of your background screening process, the Candidate uploads and submits their documents, we verify them, and you see the results within just a matter of minutes!
In short, yes. Even with the new guidance provided by The DBS and Home Office (2022), employers have every right to continue manually checking their Candidate's identity face-to-face. Digital Identity Verification is just another option.
We set ourselves the highest standards at Vetting.com, and the safety and security of our Clients and their Candidates is imperative to what we do. We have partnered with HooYu to provide a solution that meets the ID checking best practice standard (GPG45) and that is accredited under the DCMS framework.
Digital Identity Verification checks can be requested at the same time as a DBS check, using the same 3-click process as the other checks available on Vetting.com. Once the Government Legislation has been passed, Digital Identity Verification will remove the need for an employer to check the Candidate's ID for Right to Work checks as well as DBS checks.
