Candidate Verification
Stop Candidate Fraud and AI-Generated Applicants
Shufti runs document forensics, biometric matching, and enhanced due diligence inside your hiring pipeline, so fraudulent candidates are caught at the application stage, not after a conditional offer.
Secure Every Stage of the Hiring Journey
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 liveness detection at the point of application.
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 candidate appearing at interview is the same person who applied.
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 one who was hired.

The Confidence Our Clients Share
The future of digital identity is defined by trust, interoperability, and regulatory alignment, so our partnership with Shufti reinforces DevCode Identity's commitment to supporting our global customers with the most secure, best-in-class, complaints identity verification solutions available today.
Combining our Conversion Driven Compliance Orchestration Platform with Shufti's global KYC and IDV capabilities allows our customers not only to navigate complex regulatory demands but also to maintain a seamless customer onboarding experience with the highest achievable conversion rates.
Shufti gives us verification journeys we can trust across every market we serve. The ability to route players through passive database checks, eID authentication, and full biometric liveness — all behind one API — has reshaped how we think about onboarding compliance.
Their team acts like an extension of ours. When regulators added new requirements across two European markets, Shufti’s journey builder let us adapt in days, not months.
FXBO customers demand speed without compromising AML rigour. Shufti’s eIDV fits exactly there — high-assurance verification for large deposits, invisible background checks for everything else, and one compliance trail across the board.
Integration took a single sprint. The SDK handled the full journey, so our product team stayed focused on trading features instead of building KYC screens.
As a regulated European payments platform, we need identity verification that meets eIDAS 2.0 and AMLD6 without multi-vendor stitching. Shufti delivers both — native eID authentication for high-assurance markets and docless database checks where eIDs don’t reach.
One contract, one audit log. That changes the compliance conversation entirely.

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.
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, deepfake candidates, and proxy interviewers before any hiring decision is made.
