Onfido, the global firm focused on automated identity verification, announced a partnership with Job&Talent, a marketplace headquartered in Spain, for essential work.
Together, they will automate remote identity verification “for new candidate onboarding, eliminating the need for in-branch visits.” Onfido’s technology helps Job&Talent accelerate customer acquisition and “scale across Europe.”
Founded in Spain in 2009, Job&Talent is a platform that “has connected more than 340,000 workers with over 2,500 companies in 2022, aiming to simplify the job searching and hiring process with the power of technology.”
Their online platform uses “in-app messaging, scheduling, contract signing, and payroll to reduce the time to hire while protecting all parties from legal risk. Job&Talent required a global identity verification provider to enable automated remote identity verification as part of the candidate onboarding process and strengthen fraud detection while supporting business expansion into ten additional countries, including France and Italy.”
With Onfido’s autofill and document verification solution powered by Onfido Atlas, users can now enjoy a fast, secure, and user-friendly digital experience, “reducing the onboarding process to less than two minutes.”
Users sign up by simply taking “a photo of their government-issued identity document (ID) with a smartphone or webcam.”
Onfido Atlas verifies the visual, data and metadata elements, checking that the ID is genuine and not fraudulent. This is done quickly and securely, and Job&Talent “get results shown as a recommendation of ‘clear’ or ‘consider’.”
