Partnership to automate employees verification process in UK

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 (Bernama) – As right to work checks are a compulsory step in the UK recruitment process, Jumio has partnered with Engage Technology Partners Ltd. to automate the employees verification.

According to a statement, employers are required to see the applicant’s original identity documents, check the documents validity with the applicant present, make and retain copies of the documents and record the date the check was made.

Under the partnership, Jumio’s online identity verification technologies will be integrated into Engage’s cloud-based recruitment solutions – to help end-hirers, agencies, payrolls and workers navigate and simplify the recruitment process.

The integration will enable Engage to verify passports, ID cards, biometric residence permits and other forms of identification from over 200 countries automatically to verify workers’ eligibility and actual identity.

Workers will receive an email or text message invitation to provide their ID and right to work documentation via unique URLs, linking them to the Engage platform, where they can upload or use a camera to take pictures of their documents and of themselves.

The automated verification process is then run by Jumio’s Netverify solution, while workers are kept in the loop via notifications.

Chief Executive Officer of Jumio, Stephen Stuut said: “Our leading identity verification solutions, which leverage biometrics, AI, machine learning, liveness detection and verification experts are designed to definitively assess whether someone is who they claim to be.

“Integrating this technology for right to work checks and Engage’s end-to-end recruitment software will help Engage vet new workers quickly, securely and compliantly,” he added.

Marketing Director at Engage, Alex Fraser said the partnership allows them to provide instant verification to prove that employees are who they say they are and can now offer the necessary compliance with right to work regulation to clients, especially in the contingency staffing market.
