Tackling Fraud, Impersonation & Moonlighting

As impersonation and resume fraud rise, AuthBridge now integrates biometric checks throughout the hiring journey. Verification starts early — sometimes even at resume submission — covering identity, employment, and address before an offer is made.
Moonlighting detection has also become a norm, with clients now requesting checks for dual employment to protect against conflict of interest.

Alternative Data & Continuous Monitoring

Beyond traditional data points, AuthBridge uses alternative data — like mobile numbers, company legitimacy, and behavioural insights — to validate candidate authenticity. In high-risk sectors like BFSI, logistics, and healthcare, continuous background monitoring is fast becoming an industry standard.

One-Click Onboarding for Gig & Blue-Collar Workforces

With millions of gig workers and delivery partners entering the workforce, AuthBridge’s digital-first process allows them to self-verify by simply uploading ID documents via mobile — drastically reducing manual paperwork and onboarding time.

“For clients hiring drivers, we now verify Aadhaar, PAN, and DL in real time — while screening against negative records,” adds Mr. Trehan.

Why SMEs Must Prioritise Verification

While enterprises lead the way in digital background checks, SMEs often overlook verification. Mr. Trehan warns that a single bad hire can disproportionately affect a small business. Background checks should be a non-negotiable for growth and security.
