Identity verification is a critical component in protecting a business, its clients, and its employees. Remote work has presented new potential security risks and, while remote hiring streamlines the onboarding process, it also presents complications when it comes to identity verification. According to top HR professionals, nearly 1 in 5 companies has experienced some form of candidate identity fraud.
