Hirevue has added identity verification to its hiring platform as part of new fraud detection capabilities that use document checks and face liveness detection to help employers confirm that the candidate completing an interview or assessment is who they claim to be.
The new capabilities have four parts. Identity verification uses document checks and liveness detection to confirm a candidate’s identity. Location checks draw on IP address, VPN and proxy activity when a candidate’s location needs review. An interview validation checklist guides interviewers through verification steps during the interview, and unified reporting gathers flagged signals and supporting evidence for human review and an auditable record.
They build on Hirevue’s existing cheating detection tools, which show hiring teams whether candidates switch browsers, paste text from large language models or try to generate answers with an LLM live during an interview. Hirevue says it is used by more than 40 percent of the Fortune 100 and has powered more than 80 million video interviews.
The company said a flagged result prompts human review and does not by itself establish fraud or decide a hiring outcome. Employers can tailor checks to each role’s risks, choose which checks are active and how much weight each carries, and explain to candidates what to expect before the process begins.
Hirevue has faced a biometric privacy suit before. In January, three job applicants dropped a proposed class action that accused the company of collecting facial and voice data during automated video interviews in violation of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act, ending the case without a ruling on the merits.
Other hiring platforms have added identity checks this year. Background-check company Checkr launched a fraud detection suite with deepfake detection and selfie-to-ID verification in October, and Employ is embedding ID.me verification in its JazzHR, Lever and Jobvite applicant tracking systems.
“Hiring teams need to know whether the skills they’re seeing are real and whether the person demonstrating them is the person they’ll hire,” said Jeremy Friedman, Hirevue’s chief executive. “We check multiple signals during the hiring workflow, with clear expectations for candidates and notifications that prompt recruiters to ask for more information. The goal is to protect authentic candidates and help employers make decisions they can stand behind.”
