You found the perfect developer on Upwork. Their portfolio is stunning, their rate is reasonable, and they can start tomorrow. But wait—are they actually who they say they are?

"Identity farming," where agencies fake profiles to land contracts and then outsource the work to unqualified junior staff, is rampant. Face Check ID is the fast, ethical way to verify your remote hires.

The Rise of Remote Identity Fraud

Traditional background checks are slow, expensive, and often impossible across international borders. This creates a loophole for scammers:

The "Review Farmer"

Using a stolen photo of a "trustworthy looking" professional to build a profile, collect deposits, and vanish.

The "Bait & Switch"

A senior expert interviews on Zoom, but a completely different person does the actual work (poorly).

The AI Fake

Profiles generated entirely by AI—face, bio, and portfolio—used to phishing access to company repositories.

How to Use Face Check ID in Hiring

You don't need invasive software. You just need to verify consistency. Here is a non-intrusive workflow:

1

Save the LinkedIn/Profile Photo

Take the photo they present publicly as their professional face.

2

Run a Face Search

Upload it to FaceSearch AI. Look for a consistent digital footprint across professional networks.

3

Verify the "Video Match"

When you get on the first video call, does the person on screen match the person in the photo and the history you found?

Privacy & Ethics

Note: Face Check ID is about verifying *public* information. It is not about spying. You are simply confirming that the public persona they are selling matches the reality. Never use this data for discriminatory practices or share it without consent.

Hire with Confidence

"Global talent pools are an amazing resource for businesses. Don't let fear of fraud stop you from hiring the best. Just add a 30-second verification step to your process."
