ID Verification for Interviews

ID Verification in Interviews verifies a candidate’s identity by having them complete an identity check before entering the interview waiting room. The result is then displayed in the interview report.

Key Benefits

• Ensures stronger candidate identity validation in interviews
• Helps to eliminate impersonation risks
• Clear pass/fail result, including fail reasons, available in the interview report

• Interview creators can see if an interview comprises identity verification in the interview dashboard

  

• ID Verification is configured on a per-interview basis.
• Once enabled, candidates must complete verification before joining the interview.

4. Verification is mandatory
