Liveness detection and face matching before and during assessments and AI interviews, to stop impersonation and manipulated video.
Candidate identity verification is the step that confirms, before the test starts, that the person answering is the person you invited. On Coodesh, the candidate photographs an official ID and their own face, and a specialized partner checks that the document is authentic and that the face, captured live with liveness detection, matches the ID.
In remote hiring, swapping the person who takes the test or joins the interview is easy to attempt and hard to catch later. Identity verification closes that door at the start: only candidates whose identity is confirmed get into the assessment, and the result sits in the report next to the other integrity signals. When something goes wrong, a person on your team decides whether to let the candidate through.
In the assessment's Integrity tab, switch on Identity verification in the Identity block. It also applies to invites already sent, because the assessment is read when the candidate opens the link.
Before the test, the candidate photographs the ID and their face. The partner checks document authenticity and runs the face match.
Anyone who fails shows as Start blocked in the Invites tab, with an icon that explains why.
A bad photo, a worn ID or poor lighting can fail a real candidate. Anyone with permission can release them, one person at a time.
Every feature is built to stop candidate impersonation without locking out real people.
The partner confirms the document is authentic and that the selfie matches the face on the ID.
The face is captured in real time, which helps stop swapped identities and deepfake videos.
In the report, the Identity line shows the document type, whether the face matched and, after a release, who released the candidate and when.
Releasing a blocked candidate requires the Release identity verification permission, which admins already have. Every release goes into the activity log.
A release changes nothing in the record: a failed check stays failed in the report, next to the name of the person who let the candidate continue.
Paired with proctoring, webcam supervision with AI image analysis keeps watching who is answering until the end.
When you will never meet the candidate in person before hiring, confirming identity at the first step protects every stage after it.
Before an AI interview or a test that weighs on the decision, make sure the person being assessed is the one who moved forward.
A certificate only proves someone's skill if the identity of the person who took the assessment was confirmed.

Usually under a minute. When the partner needs a manual review, it can take up to 24 hours, and the candidate gets an email when the result is ready. If the capture expires with no response, the candidate can restart the step on their own at no cost. If your assessment has a short completion deadline, send the invite with some lead time.
No. You receive the result of the check: passed or failed, the document type and whether the face matched. This shows on the Identity line of the integrity card in each candidate's report. Image capture and analysis stay with the specialized partner, which means your team stores less sensitive personal data.
They are not removed from the process. The candidate waits at that step and shows as Start blocked in the Invites tab. Someone with the Release identity verification permission can release them from the row menu, and the candidate can then start the test. The report keeps the original result and logs who released them and when. A new attempt depends on that release.
Verification is based on the CPF, Brazil's individual taxpayer number. Candidates who say they have no CPF are recorded as No CPF in the report and can only start the test if your team releases them. If you hire outside Brazil, decide in advance who will watch the Invites tab and handle those releases, so no candidate is left waiting.
Identity verification confirms, before the test, that the person answering is the one you invited, using an ID, a selfie and liveness detection. A background check is a separate step available in Brazil: with the CPF the candidate provides and authorizes, the company queries official sources and receives a PDF report on records and history. One confirms who is taking the test; the other checks their stated history.
