October 25, 2022 – Hillsboro, OR – Q5id, Inc. has announced a new agreement with SecurTest, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand employment background checks with its patented iReviewNow process and employment and education verifications. The agreement will deliver access to Q5id’s patented Proven Identity (KYE) Know Your Employee solution through SecurTest’s technology.
Know Your Employee (KYE) by Q5id offers an additional layer of protection for employers to verify identities of potential candidates before a background check is conducted, eliminating the expense of running background checks on fraudulent actors. With occupational fraud on the rise, costing U.S companies an average of $8,300 per month, KYE proves the potential hire is who they say they are.
“We look forward to our new partnership with SecurTest—a leading background screening institution—bringing the benefits of proven identity to their thousands of existing U.S. clients,” says Q5id CEO Steve Larson. “We also look forward to supporting SecurTest’s efforts to verify the identities of expatriates in foreign countries. This is an ideal entry point for introducing Proven Identity into the global marketplace. Identity can never be assumed; it must be proven.”
Founded in 1978, SecurTest has established a new industry standard for background screening and FCRA compliance with its triple-patented iReviewNow. As a result, SecurTest is relied on by various branches of the U.S. government to perform background investigations. In addition, banks, international schools, small to mid-size employers, and Fortune 500 companies depend on SecurTest daily.
“Our agreement with Q5id and its Proven Identity platform enhance our industry-leading background check process by providing verified, proven identities. We believe this partnership with Q5id will provide us a sustained competitive advantage that will redefine the background check process across the globe,” says Steven C. Millwee, CPP President and CEO, SecurTest. “Moreover, the combination of the patented Q5id and patented iReviewNow by SecurTest creates a one-of-a-kind background screening program that protects candidates and clients from identity fraud.”
KYE by Q5id will help protect SecurTest’s clients from intellectual property (IP) theft and loss of trade secrets, customer attrition, and irreparable damage to a company’s brand and reputation. Q5id’s Proven Identity solution offers the most robust, frictionless customer experience available on the market, authenticating identities in a matter of seconds.
