How It Works

From unknown profile to fully vetted talent in just four easy steps

It's identity verification that works for everyone: agency, candidate, and client.

1

Start inside your ATS

Verification launches automatically when a candidate reaches the appropriate stage. No manual initiation required.

2

Candidate completes secure verification

The candidate verifies their government ID and completes biometric selfie validation mobile-first through ID.me.

3

Fraud signals surface immediately

Identity inconsistencies, tampering, and high-risk indicators are flagged before submission.

4

Proof syncs back to the record

Verification status and audit-ready documentation write back into the candidate profile so your submissions are vetted.

Your clients expect proof, not apologies

It only takes one mistake to tank a client relationship and threaten your revenue. But it doesn't have to happen to you.

Without RefAssured

Identities rely solely on recruiter judgment.
No documented verification trail.
Fraud discovered after placement.
Increased dispute exposure.
AI-driven fraud remains invisible.

With RefAssured

Every identity confirmed before client submission.
Timestamped verification record attached automatically.
Fraud risk identified before placement.
Audit-ready documentation on demand.
Powered by ID.me, the federal identity standard trusted by 152M+ users and 60+ government agencies.
