Why do identity checks slow down hiring?
- 01
A candidate uploads a blurred PAN card.
- 02
Someone in HR Ops emails for a clearer copy.
- 03
Two days pass.
- 04
The joining date moves, and the candidate starts taking calls from other employers.
Identity checks rarely take long. The waiting around them does. A candidate uploads a blurred PAN card. Someone in HR Ops emails for a clearer copy. Two days pass. The joining date moves, and the candidate starts taking calls from other employers.
If you run a TA or onboarding team, you know the pattern. Forty cases open, no clear view of which ones are waiting on the candidate, and an inbox doing the job a dashboard should do. Identity checks are also where candidates first judge your process. A clumsy upload step feels like a clumsy employer, and some candidates never finish it.
A good identity verification service fixes this at the start, because identity is the first check in every case. When you check identity in minutes, everything after it starts sooner. It is also your first layer of fraud detection, catching a mismatched name or date of birth before an offer goes out.
What does our identity verification service cover?
Our identity verification service covers the five ID documents Indian employers ask for most. Each one is confirmed against its issuing source and returned as a clear result in your report.
- INSTANTAadhaar
- INSTANTPAN
- INSTANTVoter ID
- INSTANTPassport
- Driving Licence
Four of these five come back instantly, so they are done while the candidate is still filling in the form. At its core, every ID check is an identity number check. The number has to exist, it has to belong to this person, and it has to match the details they gave you. If it doesn't, the identification check is marked as a discrepancy, not quietly passed.
That is identity proofing in the plain sense: proof that the person joining is the person you hired.
How does the process work?
Three steps, and you can see every one of them on your dashboard.
- 01
You raise the case.
Add candidates through our API, a bulk upload, or directly from Zoho Recruit or HRStop.
- 02
We run the checks.
The candidate gives digital consent, and we check identity against each document's source. Every identification check goes through QC before it is closed.
- 03
You get the report.
Status is live throughout, and the full report is ready the moment the case is complete.
Identity checks run first in any package, so they set the pace for the rest of the case.
What do you get back from identity proofing?
You get a RAG-coded report built for a decision, not a list of findings. Each result is coded red, amber or green, so your team knows which cases can move and which need a conversation with the candidate.
Every identity number check shows what was checked, against which source, and what came back. The dashboard's checkwise discrepancy insights show where mismatches cluster across your cases. That turns fraud detection into a pattern you can see, not a surprise after joining.
Identity proofing this clear means your identity checks don't need a second read from your team.
| What was checked | Against | What came back |
|---|---|---|
| Aadhaar | Issuing source | GREEN |
| PAN | Issuing source | AMBER |
| Voter ID | Issuing source | RED |
Do our IDV solutions work with your hiring stack?
Yes. Our IDV solutions are API first and built to sit inside the tools your team already uses.
- 01
API
Raise cases from your own system without re-entering candidate data.
- 02
Bulk upload
Run an ID check for a whole intake at once during campus or seasonal hiring.
- 03
HRMS integrations
Zoho Recruit and HRStop are live today.
- 04
Dashboard
KPI overview, case list and progress, live activity feed, reports and export, billing and invoices.
For HRIS and shared services teams, that means no spreadsheets passed around on email. Your employee ID check starts from the same place the candidate record already lives, and every result sits in one dashboard instead of five inboxes. That is what an ID verification service should take off your plate.
What changes for your team?
Fewer pending cases and fewer follow-up emails, because status is live instead of asked for.
Offers close faster when identity clears on the first day of the case, not the fourth. Recruitment teams lose fewer candidates between offer and joining when identity checks aren't the thing holding them up.
You can check identification status for every joiner in one view, so nobody starts with verification half done.
Turnaround is published per check, so SLA conversations start from a number, not an adjective.
Consent, source and result are recorded on every employee ID check, which gives you an audit trail and a first line of fraud detection.
98% accuracy and 99.5% completion give you two numbers to benchmark any ID verification service against.
Bulk upload absorbs a hiring spike, and the integrations remove manual data transfer between systems.
How is candidate data protected?
Global Checks is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management. Identity proofing happens inside those controls, not around them.
Every case starts with the candidate's digital consent, recorded before any check runs. When your compliance team asks how the identity verification service handles personal data under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the answer is on record.
