Our world is becoming increasingly data and technology-driven. HR Tech is the next big revolution that is impacting background verification businesses in a big way. The use of AI will impact every aspect of hiring, from resume parsing to interview scheduling and tests to digital verification and onboarding. Remote identity verification in real-time is one of the top trends that has caught on in the aftermath of the pandemic. Similarly, in the absence of physical contact and new fraud and risk scenarios, an increasing number of employers will opt for the re-verification of current employees. The use of social media is emerging as a top trend as is the rise of scalable solutions to authenticate gig employees. The hottest solution right now, however, is API-driven vaccination verification that is helping businesses build back trust with employees and customers.
