Hiring the right talent is pivotal to an organization’s success. However, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the hiring process remains a significant challenge—particularly due to the growing risk of candidate impersonation. With WeCP’s advanced AI-driven verification framework, organizations can now secure the entire hiring journey, from candidate registration to assessment completion.

WeCP enables employers to authenticate candidate identity at every critical pre-employment stage, ensuring that the same individual who registers for an assessment is the one who attempts and completes it.

The Problem

Impersonation during the entire hiring process

The Challenge with Traditional Hiring Workflows

Once a candidate enters the assessment platform, verifying authenticity is relatively straightforward. A live image captured during the pre-test system check can be compared against images captured throughout the assessment.

However, the real challenge arises in public campus hiring initiatives. Instead of inviting a controlled list of candidates, organizations open registrations to a broad demographic—often across geographies.

In such scenarios, traditional workflows fail due to a critical gap:

  • The candidate who registers for the assessment may not be the same individual who attempts it.

This disconnect significantly increases the risk of impersonation and proxy test-taking.

Introducing WeCP's AI-based Verification System

WeCP addresses impersonation challenges by introducing identity data collection from the very first step of the hiring process and maintaining continuous visibility throughout the assessment lifecycle. This ensures organizations have complete traceability of a candidate’s identity at every stage.


Step 1: Identity Capture During Registration

During registration, candidates upload their image as part of the application process. This image is securely stored and linked to the candidate’s email address, creating a reliable identity record from the outset.

By capturing identity details at registration, WeCP ensures that hiring teams have a clear and consistent reference available for review at any point during the hiring process.


Step 2: Live Image Capture Before Assessment

When the candidate starts the assessment, WeCP captures a live image during the pre-test system check.


Step 3: Continuous Identity Monitoring During the Assessment

Throughout the assessment, WeCP continuously captures live images of the candidate and evaluates them against the image captured during the pre-test system check (Step 2).

Based on this evaluation, the system flags the following violations:

  • No Face Found
    Triggered when no human face is detected in the camera feed.

  • Multiple Faces Found
    Triggered when more than one individual appears in the camera frame.

  • Other Face Found
    Triggered when the face detected does not match the image captured during the pre-test system check.

These checks ensure that the same candidate remains present and compliant for the entire duration of the test.


Step 4: Reviewer Access & Post-Assessment Verification

Both the registration image and live assessment images are made available in the evaluation reports.

This allows recruiters, hiring managers, or reviewers to:

  • Cross-verify candidate identity at any stage

  • Investigate flagged violations

  • Make informed decisions with complete visual evidence


Impact & Results

WeCP’s AI-based verification system has been shown to eliminate up to 70% of impersonation cases, especially in high-volume, public-facing hiring initiatives.

By connecting registration identity, live assessment verification, continuous monitoring, and post-test review into one unified process, WeCP ensures a secure, transparent, and fraud-resistant hiring experience.


Conclusion

WeCP’s end-to-end AI-based verification framework helps ensures that:

  • The candidate who registers is the candidate who starts the test

  • The candidate who starts the test is the candidate who completes it

  • Hiring teams have full visibility into identity verification at every stage

This holistic approach empowers organizations to confidently scale their campus and public hiring initiatives without compromising on authenticity or fairness.
