Atlantic Employee Screening adds biometric identity checks to QuickApp

Atlantic Employee Screening has launched Cerebrum’s vID biometric identity verification inside AES QuickApp, giving employers a faster way to confirm applicant identities before background checks begin. The update is aimed at reducing fraud, cutting manual data entry and supporting compliance for remote and global hiring.

Why it matters: - Employers are under more pressure to verify applicant identity before screening starts, especially across remote, hybrid and global hiring. - AES QuickApp now gives clients a faster way to reduce identity fraud, improve hiring accuracy and support compliance workflows. - The addition is aimed at industries where identity confirmation is critical, including healthcare, financial services, education, transportation, manufacturing and government contracting.

What happened: - Atlantic Employee Screening announced the availability of Cerebrum’s vID biometric identity verification through the AES QuickApp platform. - The capability is available to AES clients using AES QuickApp. - The launch is designed to help organizations verify a candidate’s identity in minutes before the background screening process begins.

The details: - Applicants use a smartphone to scan a government-issued photo ID and complete a secure facial biometric verification. - The verification process typically takes less than two minutes. - The system automatically populates the information needed to start a background screening through AES QuickApp. - AES says the workflow virtually eliminates manual data entry. - The platform is intended to create a faster, more secure hiring experience. - AES also says the update can improve workforce screening efficiency and help build more secure and compliant hiring programs. - The company says clients still get 100 percent live, U.S.-based customer support, flexible service and no long-term contracts. - AES also offers criminal background checks, employment and education verification, motor vehicle records, international background screening, identity verification, occupational health services and integrations with HR and applicant tracking systems including UKG Ready, UKG Pro, Workday, Paylocity, Jobvite and PageUp.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a broader shift toward identity verification earlier in the hiring process, rather than after an applicant is already deep into screening. - A biometric step at the front end can reduce errors and help employers be more confident that the person applying is the same person being screened. - AES is positioning service and workflow simplicity as part of the product story, not just the underlying technology. - Cerebrum said the collaboration is meant to create a seamless identity verification experience for both employers and applicants.
