The result is a fast, simple and secure digital process for both candidates and internal teams.”
Amiqus delivering trust at scale

Advanced verification of identity documents through the Amiqus mobile app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store). It reduces fraud & identity theft risk by reading and validating data directly from an e-Passport chip with absolute accuracy.
2. Facial Similarity Photo check
Facial recognition technology will biometrically compare a live selfie of an individual against the image in their ID document for facial similarity. It will also record any discrepancies and attempts to trick the system, adding an extra layer of security. Thus, entirely removing the need to meet candidates or clients face to face.
