TULSA,
Okla., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Shield
Screening, a leading provider of employment background screening
solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Cerebrum,
an advanced digital identity verification platform, to offer
augmented identity verification services to Shield Screening's
clients. This collaboration will integrate Cerebrum's digital
identity verification and credentialing solutions into Shield
Screening's comprehensive background screening process, setting a
new standard for accuracy and security in employment
verification.
"We are thrilled to partner with Cerebrum to bring
state-of-the-art digital identity verification to our clients,"
said Tom Ellis, Vice President of
Protection Services, Shield Screening. "This partnership will not
only enhance the accuracy of our background checks but also
streamline the verification process, providing our clients with
unparalleled confidence in their hiring decisions."
Cerebrum's digital identity verification platform utilizes
machine learning algorithms to authenticate government-issued IDs
and other credentials. By incorporating this technology into Shield
Screening's services, clients will benefit from an integrated
solution that ensures the authenticity of candidate identities from
the outset of the background screening process. The digital wallet
feature further expands this offering by securely storing verified
credentials, making it easy for employers to access and manage
employee information.
A recent ResumeLab survey revealed alarming statistics about
resume fraud. The study of over 1,900 U.S.-based
workers found that 7 in 10 reported lying on their resumes, with
37% confessing to doing so frequently. Additionally, 33% admitted
to lying once or twice, while only 15% of respondents claimed they
had never considered lying on a resume. These findings highlight
the critical need for advanced verification technologies like those
offered by Cerebrum to protect employers from the risks of hiring
individuals based on false qualifications. By ensuring that all
credentials are thoroughly vetted and validated, Shield Screening
and Cerebrum help employers mitigate the dangers of fraudulent
hires and maintain a workforce built on trust.
"We are excited to collaborate with Shield Screening to
revolutionize the way identity verification is conducted in the
background screening industry," said Sebastian Mellen, co-founder and CEO of
Cerebrum. "Our platform's ability to seamlessly integrate identity
verification with digital credentialing provides a comprehensive
solution that vastly improves workflow efficiency and workforce
trust."
The partnership between Shield Screening and Cerebrum represents
a significant advancement in digital identity verification,
particularly for highly regulated industries such as healthcare,
financial services, and education. By leveraging Cerebrum's
technology, Shield Screening will provide clients with a more
robust and reliable background screening process.
