Hiring the right talent is pivotal to an organization’s success. However, maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the hiring process can be challenging, especially with risks such as candidate impersonation. WeCP’s advanced AI-powered identity verification helps organizations address these challenges effectively, ensuring a secure and trustworthy hiring journey from assessment to onboarding.

By integrating WeCP into your candidate evaluation workflow, employers can verify candidate identity at key pre-employment stages, preventing impersonation and proxy participation.


Key Stages of AI-Based Identity Verification

1. Online Assessment Stage

When a candidate begins an online assessment on WeCP, the system captures a base image of the candidate at the start of the session. This base image becomes the reference point for identity verification throughout the entire assessment.

During the test, WeCP continuously monitors the session and compares live candidate images against this base image. This ensures that:

  • The same individual remains present throughout the assessment

  • No proxy or impersonator can replace the candidate mid-session

This approach preserves the integrity of assessment results and ensures a fair evaluation process.


2. Proctoring & Session Monitoring

Throughout the assessment session, WeCP’s AI performs ongoing checks by comparing the live feed with the base image captured. Any anomalies—such as a different face appearing, multiple faces, or the candidate being absent—are automatically detected and flagged.

This continuous verification ensures end-to-end session authenticity rather than relying on static or pre-stored candidate data.


3. Live Interview Stage

During live interviews conducted via WeCP, the same principle applies. A base image is captured at the start of the interview session and used as the reference for facial verification throughout the interaction.

WeCP’s AI verifies that:

  • The person attending the interview is consistent throughout the process

  • No substitution or impersonation occurs during the interview

This process is seamless and non-intrusive, allowing interviewers to focus on evaluating skills and cultural fit with confidence.


4. Joining & Post-Hire Verification

Once the candidate joins the organization, the verification data generated during assessments and interviews is securely stored within WeCP’s system for a limited and policy-defined retention period understanding privacy regulations. This data can be referenced for audits or investigations during this timeframe.


Conclusion

Impersonation in hiring can lead to poor hiring decisions, compliance risks, and reputational damage. WeCP’s AI-powered approach addresses this by using session-based identity verification, where a base image captured at the start of a session is continuously compared throughout the process.

By integrating WeCP into your hiring workflow, organizations gain a robust, privacy-conscious, and reliable mechanism to ensure candidate authenticity—right when it matters most. Integrity is the foundation of successful hiring, and WeCP helps you safeguard it at every step.
