Remote Workforce Identity Verification
Confirm that the person interviewing, being onboarded, and showing up to work each day is actually who they claim to be – a growing concern as remote hiring and AI-generated media both increase the surface for impersonation fraud.

Overview
Verifying Identity Across the Remote Hiring Lifecycle
Remote hiring removes the in-person moment where identity used to get confirmed implicitly – a candidate walking into an office, an employee badging in at a desk. That gap creates room for impersonation: someone other than the actual candidate sitting the interview, a contractor swapping out after onboarding, or increasingly, AI-generated video or voice used to pass a remote identity check altogether.
FacePlugin addresses this across the hiring lifecycle: ID document recognition and face matching at onboarding confirm the new hire’s identity against a real document, liveness detection confirms a real person is present during video interviews or check-ins, and the Deepfake Detection SDK specifically flags AI-generated or manipulated video – relevant given recent, well-documented cases of fraudulent remote workers using synthetic media to pass interviews.

How It Works
A Typical Flow
1
Verify at Onboarding
Match the new hire’s face and ID document before systems access is granted.
2
Screen Interviews
Run deepfake detection on interview or check-in video for high-trust or high-access roles.
3
Re-verify Periodically
Require a fresh face-and-liveness check at intervals for roles with elevated access.
Note
A growing threat
Fraudulent remote-worker schemes – where someone other than the real candidate is hired, often using a fabricated identity or AI-altered video to pass interviews – have been documented publicly across multiple industries. Identity verification at onboarding and interview-stage deepfake screening are two concrete controls against this specific pattern.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this run during a live video interview?
The Deepfake Detection SDK analyzes images and video for AI-generation signals, so it can be applied to interview recordings or, depending on your integration, to live video – the SDK itself doesn’t require a specific video-conferencing platform.
Does FacePlugin replace a background-check provider?
No. FacePlugin verifies that the person is who their ID and face say they are, and that any video involved isn’t AI-generated. Background checks (employment history, criminal records, etc.) are a separate process typically run by a dedicated provider.
How often should re-verification happen?
That depends on the role’s access level and your own risk tolerance – FacePlugin provides the verification mechanism, not a policy recommendation for frequency.
