Identity Verification

Know exactly who you're interviewing

Remote and AI-assisted hiring make it easy for someone other than the applicant to show up. Zinterview matches every candidate to a government-issued ID before the first question, so each evaluation reflects the person who actually applied.

Zinterview matching a candidate's government ID to their face on camera

How it works

Verification before the first question

01

Candidate submits ID

Before the interview loads, the candidate uploads a government-issued ID directly in the browser. No app install, no separate portal.

02

Face is matched to the ID

Zinterview compares the live camera feed to the photo on the document using biometric matching. It takes seconds and needs no recruiter involvement.

03

The interview starts, or it doesn't

A match lets the interview begin. A failed match blocks the session before any questions are asked, so a proxy never reaches evaluation.

Capabilities

Trust built into the workflow

Stop proxies at the door

Before the interview loads, the candidate uploads a government-issued ID and Zinterview matches its photo to the live face on camera. Only a genuine match starts the session, so a stand-in or paid proxy is caught at the entry point.

Trust and compliance

Built to protect candidates and your decisions

Identity data is encrypted, used only to confirm the match between the ID and the person on camera, and deleted the moment the check is complete. Verification gives your team a clear signal, and a human always makes the final call.

Deleted immediately

The ID and biometric data are deleted as soon as the match is confirmed. Nothing is retained after the check.

Encrypted and match-only

Identity data is encrypted and used solely to verify identity, never for any other purpose.

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant

Verification runs on infrastructure that meets SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards.

Signal, not verdict

A failed check flags the candidate for review. A recruiter always decides what happens next.
