KYE is an employee proofing solution that was created to protect your business, employees, customers, and reputation by proving who your potential employees are before you hire them.
Our patented multi-step process incorporates verification measures that prove each person IS who they say they are. This does not replace background checks. It complements them.
Watch the demo video to see how fast and frictionless the process of proving a potential job candidate’s identity can be during the pre-employment process.
Add this simple step to your background check process to protect your organization and avoid future issues with fraud, data breaches, financial and reputational risks.
The flexibility of the cloud with the security of biometrics – protect your business no matter where your users are.
We don’t assume identities, we prove them. This ensures people are who they say they are.
Our patented verification process utilizes multiple biometrics to guard against credential theft and identity spoofing.
Q5id works with a simple, easy-to-use mobile app that allows your users to enroll and authenticate securely no matter where they are, complete with step-by-step directions.
Ensure your business is secure against fraudulent activities. We comply with NIST IAL2 security practices and NIST IAL3 security practices with our live video call.
Enrollments, verifications, and authentications are all made through our Q5id app on smartphones. Your proven identity is never tied to any one device, it is tied only to you.
Negative impacts of data breaches and ATOs go beyond financial losses, security, and legal expenses. Companies can also face:
Protect your business, employees, customers, and reputation by proving who your potential employees are before you hire them. Our multi-step solution supplements your background check process by incorporating our Proven Identity verification solution that delivers the highest level of assurance that each person is who they say they are with a false acceptance rate of 1 in 933 billion.
With the increase in remote and work-from-home positions, there is also a corresponding increased need in the capability of your employee verification process. Q5id combats identity fraud with our patented Proven Identity solution leveraging multiple biometrics, AI, liveness testing, and our unique IP.
Our solution can detect deepfake spoofing, use of synthetics, and even the use of general ID theft, preventing the user from obtaining a verified proven identity. Without this proven identity, your applicant would not be able to proceed in your hiring process.
Job applicants use three primary methods to obtain a position fraudulently:
Conducting background checks on potential employees is the standard procedure for verifying an employee. But there is a flaw in this practice that limits your protection from fraud. A key component of current background checks is to use legally acceptable IDs. But this standard method does not prove and verify a potential candidate’s identity. It only proves the provided ID is valid.
Q5id solves the issue of a false hire by proving your potential candidate is who they say they are. Using our IP, biometrics, and ID verification as just part of our patented solution, we offer you a positive identity proofing rate of 1 in 933 billion that the person on the provided ID is the person who you are communicating with.
Knowing your employee in an expanding remote workforce complicates current verification methods. Today, it is common to only meet new hires virtually. In 2020, the IRS reported that 1.3 million SSNs were associated with employment-related identity fraud.
A new employee verification solution is needed.
Our patented multi-step process incorporates verification measures that provides an identity proofing solution. We prove that each person IS who they say they are. This doesn’t replace background checks. It complements them.
Companies can minimize the impact of the high cost of occupational fraud during the hiring process by proving who each new hire is during the pre-employment process, not just by verifying the ID of a new hire and running a background check.
KYE is a fast and frictionless employee identity proofing solution created to protect your business, employees, customers, and reputation by proving the identity of your potential employees before you hire them.

Q5id’s patented multi-step process incorporates verification measures that provide an identity proofing solution that proves each person IS who they say they are.
A verification request is sent in just a few clicks. Using the Know Your Employee KYE by Q5id portal, the user logs in, clicks the new request button, and enters the first and last name of the potential candidate along with their email address. The user then clicks “send” and the request is sent to the potential candidate/employee needing to be verified.
The candidate opens the email with a link to download the Q5id Proven Identity app, and then completes the verification using the app. This takes less than three minutes. If the candidate already has a Q5id Proven Identity, then they just do a quick authorization in seconds. During the verification, the user will scan their face, both palms, and their state or federal-issued ID. They will also enter a few biographical details, read a short phrase, and click submit to be verified.
Once verified, the user clicks “Accept”, and the verification email confirmation is sent to the requestor stating the verification was completed along with the verification status. The KYE portal will also display the status of the verification request. With the positive verification, the employer can now be assured the person verified is who they claim to be and continue with their standard interview, background check and hiring process.
Our Proven Identity solution goes beyond traditional ID verification.
Traditional identity verification assumes when a person provides an ID, the ID is real and correct. IDs such as a driver’s license, social security card, or birth certificate can be verified, but this does not prove the person who presents the document is the person on the document.
Q5id uses a multi-step process that incorporates diverse authentication measures including ID verification and biometrics along with our IP, which together provides this proven identity. Our patented solution delivers the highest level of assurance that each person is who they say they are with a false acceptance rate of 1 in 933 billion.
When obtaining a Proven Identity as part of the KYE process, we will require:
Our KYE solution, in part, can distinguish between a live face and palm to a photo or uploaded image. We can also distinguish between a live voice and a recorded voice. We do not keep these biometrics once we prove the identity. Face and palm biometrics are converted into a character string using a hashing algorithm and that algorithm cannot be reverse-engineered.
No. Information gathered during the KYE process, such as biometrics and documentation are never sold or shared. Q5id is also compliant with CCPA, meaning that any user can request to have their profile and associated data removed.
Q5id adheres to NIST 800-63A digital identity guidelines. We meet or exceed NIST IAL2. We also meet or exceed NIST IAL3 when opting in for our live interview feature.
Q5id is compliant with vertical industry requirements such as Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML), as well as regulatory compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). Q5id has also been independently certified as SOC2 Type I compliant.
Data, such as name, address, email, and phone number are encrypted and saved. We do not store a user’s facial or palm data unless required. Face and palm biometrics are converted into a character string using a hashing algorithm. That algorithm cannot be reverse-engineered. Images may be stored when required by law or regulations specific to a given business. Any images we store are secured in a data vault.
When completing the verification, the process can be done on any mobile device with the Q5id app. Our verifications, along with the obtained Proven Identities, are never tied to any device. They are tied only to the individual person. This is especially helpful in reducing friction for verifications with no loss in security.
The entire proofing and verification process is fast and frictionless and takes less than three minutes. If the person doing the verification already has a Q5id Proven Identity, then the process requires a quick authentication that takes only seconds.
To complete a KYE request, the candidate receiving the request is required to provide the following to complete the verification:
Our app will verify their identity and provide you the results. The entire verification process takes less than three minutes.
