IDENTITY TRUST FOR MODERN HIRING

Candidate Identity Verification Across Every Hiring Stage

Stop Fake Applicants Before Screening Begins

Stop Fake Applicants Before Screening Begins

Bots, synthetic identities, and AI-generated applications can bypass traditional ATS filters and waste recruiter time. Shufti detects high-risk applications early using document forensics, biometric verification, and device intelligence before candidates enter the hiring pipeline.

Catch Proxy Interviews And Deepfake Candidates

Catch Proxy Interviews And Deepfake Candidates

Remote hiring makes it easier for proxies and AI-generated identities to enter interview processes undetected. Shufti uses biometric liveness checks and identity matching across interview stages to ensure the same verified person appears throughout the hiring journey.

Verify The Right Person On Day One

Verify The Right Person On Day One

Background checks validate records, but not always the person presenting them. Shufti re-verifies candidate identity before onboarding and system access, ensuring the individual receiving credentials is the same person approved during hiring.

Authenticate candidate identity at every stage of the hiring process

Verify Any government-issued documents, match biometrics, confirm address, and extract chip-level identity data, before a conditional offer is made. Each verification method is configurable per role type, risk level, and regulatory requirement.

  • Document Verification

    Verify any government-issued document a candidate submits, with forensic analysis that detects tampering, font inconsistencies, and AI-generated artefacts. Template matching against any document types across 240+ regions actively processed with decisions delivered in under 15 seconds.

  • Facial Biometrics

    Confirm the candidate appearing at the interview is the same person who submitted their application. 68-point facial landmark comparison with iBeta 3 -certified liveness detection 99.7% accuracy,catches deepfake video submissions, printed photo spoofs, and injection attacks during the selfie step.

  • NFC Verification

    For regulated-industry hiring (financial services, government, healthcare) requiring high-assurance identity evidence, NFC verification extracts cryptographically secured data directly from ePassport and national ID chips. Produces defensible tamper-evident verification records that document images alone cannot provide.

  • Address Verification

    Verify a candidate's proof of address at the point of application with OCR extraction in 150+ languages, structured field decomposition, and cross-checks against consolidated global postal databases. Geospatial distance detection flags addresses that don't match the candidate's stated location.

Due Diligence candidate verification interface

Enhanced screening for high-risk roles

For senior, financial, and regulated-access roles, identity verification is the floor, not the ceiling. Enhanced due diligence extends screening to adverse media,sanctions exposure, and corporate affiliations ,producing a complete risk picture before the offer letter is signed.

  • Due Diligence

    Extend candidate screening beyond identity to adverse media, sanctions lists, and PEP status checks. Produces a structured due diligence report audit ready for internal governance requirements.

Built For Every Role In The Hiring Process

Combine identity checks, right-to-work verification, and document authentication into a single pre-employment flow. Built for hiring teams that can't afford a compliance gap before day one.

HOW THE CANDIDATE VERIFICATION PROCESS WORKS

Verify Candidates Without Slowing Hiring

01

STEP 01

Candidate Identity Submission — step 1

Candidate Identity Submission

Candidates submit their government ID through your ATS, hiring portal, or Shufti SDK on any device, anywhere.

02

STEP 02

Instant Identity & Fraud Checks — step 2

Instant Identity & Fraud Checks

Shufti verifies document authenticity, extracts data with OCR, performs biometric matching, detects liveness fraud, and validates NFC chip data for high-assurance roles.

03

STEP 03

Automated Candidate Risk Scoring — step 3

Automated Candidate Risk Scoring

Every submission receives a risk score based on document validity, biometric confidence, and liveness results. Suspicious cases are automatically flagged with supporting evidence.

04

STEP 04

Verified Candidates Move Forward — step 4

Verified Candidates Move Forward

Approved candidates continue through the hiring pipeline, while flagged submissions reach reviewers with complete verification context and audit-ready records.

BUILT FOR YOUR INDUSTRY

Candidate Identity Verification For Regulated And High-Risk Industries

Verify Employees For Regulated Banking Roles

Banking institutions must verify that the individual hired is the same person vetted throughout onboarding. Shufti combines biometric verification, document forensics, AML screening, and audit-ready identity records to support regulated hiring and internal risk controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What verification checks run during the candidate screening process?

A standard candidate verification flow includes document authentication, biometric face matching with liveness detection, and address verification. For regulated or senior roles, enhanced due diligence adds adverse media screening, sanctions and PEP checks, and source-of-funds review. Every check is configurable per role type and risk appetite.

How does Shufti detect proxy interviewers?

Biometric liveness detection confirms the interviewee is physically present and live, not a deepfake video, pre-recorded submission, or injection attack. Cross-round face matching compares the biometric captured at application stage against the person appearing at interview. A mismatch triggers a review flag before the hiring decision is made.

How long does a candidate verification take?

Standard document verification and biometric matching complete in under 15 seconds. NFC chip verification adds seconds for high-assurance roles. Enhanced due diligence timelines depend on the depth of screening configured and are confirmed during implementation scoping.

Which regulatory requirements does it help satisfy?

For UK financial services, verification records satisfy FCA SM&CR individual accountability documentation requirements. For US employers, data handling is structured to support FCRA consent and adverse action obligations. Right to Work verification outputs satisfy UK Home Office documentation standards. Audit trail exports are available for all jurisdictions.

How does it integrate with ATS platforms?

Verification is triggered via REST API from within the ATS or hiring workflow. Webhook callbacks deliver pass, fail, or review-queue status on completion. Structured JSON responses, including document data, biometric match scores, and liveness results, are ready for downstream ATS ingestion. Sandbox access is available immediately for integration testing.

How does deepfake detection handle GenAI-generated faces specifically?

Generative adversarial networks and diffusion models leave frequency-domain artefacts that differ from genuine photographs. DCT decomposition isolates these artefacts in the frequency spectrum where GAN-generated and diffusion-generated images produce predictable patterns. The detection layer is updated as new generative architectures emerge , it is not trained on a fixed set of known generators.

What happens when a user wears glasses, a headscarf, or has a facial difference?

The 68-landmark facial mapping and 3D depth reconstruction are designed to work across a range of facial presentations. iBeta Level 2 testing includes demographic diversity requirements. DHS RIVR testing used 1,632 volunteers across multiple demographic groups and the system maintained consistent false non-match rates across all subgroups. Accessories and coverings that do not obstruct the core facial geometry (eyes, nose, mouth triangle) are handled without additional user prompts.

How do you handle demographic bias in face matching?

DHS RIVR 2025 measured false match and false non-match rates across demographic groups as a core benchmark requirement. Shufti met the demographic consistency thresholds across all tested subgroups. The FNMR variance across demographics remained within the Goal-level ceiling. Published results are available at mdtf.org/rivr/Results.

Stop Hiring Fraud Before Day One

Verify candidate identity with document authentication, biometric matching, and liveness detection before onboarding, background checks, or system access. Shufti helps hiring teams detect fake applicants, proxy interviews, and identity fraud early in the hiring pipeline.
