Identity Verification: How to Check ID Beyond SSN Trace

Trusted Inputs Mean Trusted Outputs

Tens of millions of identities are stolen each year, raising the risk that candidates may be using stolen identities on their background checks.

Identity Verification confirms that the legal name, date of birth, and address your candidates provide are their own. That means you can trust their background check results.

How It Works

Identity Verification is seamlessly integrated into the candidate experience.

GoodHire presents questions only the real owner of the identity would know how to answer.

Candidates who fail identity verification will still complete the background check process.

We’ll let you know if we couldn’t verify your candidate’s identity.

SSN Trace Isn’t Enough

An SSN Trace does not actually verify a candidate’s identity. SSN Trace finds out if an SSN is real, but if the identity is stolen, the SSN Trace would come back clear.

When screening remote applicants, GoodHire Identity Verification verifies that the personal details your candidate provides actually belongs to them.

GoodHire Identity Verification is another way we’re making background checks built for trust, safety, and fairness.
