Wondering what the Yardstik Identity Verification process looks like for your candidates? Check it out!
How it works
The candidate will be prompted to begin their report.
Note: If the candidate is on a computer, they will be presented with a QR code that they can scan in order to complete the process with a mobile device.

2. They'll be asked to get their driver's license ready and will select Let's get started.
3. The candidate will take a photo of the front and back of their Driver’s License or State ID. Yardstik will verify the legitimacy of the ID, this should only take a few seconds.
4. If the ID passes this step, the candidate will be asked to take a selfie to confirm liveness (ensuring the person is physically present) and will compare the selfie image with their photo ID.
5. That's it! And it gets even better, if you have screening requirements after identity verification (e.g. MVR, background check) the candidate's information will auto-populate in the report based on the data pulled from the ID. Fast and easy for your candidates, clean data for you.
If a candidate's identity cannot be confirmed during this process, they will receive a message that we couldn't verify their identity and will be prompted to contact the hiring company. If they reach out and you are able to confirm they are a real candidate attempting to apply, you can ignore their failed identity verification and move them forward in the process.
