Partnership embeds secure identity proofing directly into structured hiring workflows, helping employers combat fraud without slowing down the hiring process.
As AI-generated deepfakes, synthetic identities, and sophisticated impersonation attacks reshape the hiring landscape, Crosschq announced a partnership with ID.me, the leading digital identity wallet. The integration enables employers to seamlessly verify and reauthenticate candidate identities within Crosschq’s hiring intelligence platform, helping organizations combat rising candidate fraud while maintaining a streamlined hiring experience.
Our vision is to help employers make every hire a quality hire, and that starts with identifying and spending more time with real, qualified candidates.”
— Mike Fitzsimmons, Crosschq CEO
Through this partnership, Crosschq customers can add ID.me verifications directly to existing Crosschq AI applications including resume screening, interviews, assessments, and reference checks. When a candidate reaches a defined stage in the hiring process, employers can trigger an ID.me verification request without leaving the Crosschq platform. Candidates prove their identity through ID.me’s secure process, results are returned to Crosschq, and can then be synced back into the employer’s applicant tracking system.
“Employers are navigating a rapidly evolving hiring landscape where AI is ubiquitous and candidate fraud is becoming more sophisticated and harder to pinpoint,” said Mike Fitzsimmons, Crosschq CEO. “Our vision is to help employers make every hire a quality hire, and that starts with identifying and spending more time with real, qualified candidates. This partnership with ID.me reinforces our commitment to creating a safe, smart, and assessment-driven process that will lead to better hiring decisions.”

This integration enables organizations to:
● Reduce risk and improve efficiency related to impersonation and fraudulent applicants
● Maintain a seamless and professional candidate experience
● Automate verification workflows within existing ATS processes
Rather than requiring separate systems or manual verification steps, the ID.me experience is embedded directly into Crosschq’s platform which includes existing ATS integrations with Workday, Paradox, Salesforce, SAP, Smart Recruiters, ICIMS, Oracle, Bullhorn, and Greenhouse. Identity proofing becomes a natural extension of structured, assessment-focused hiring processes, not an additional burden.
“We’ve gone from resume fraud to deepfake interviews to nation-state actors infiltrating U.S. employers and traditional hiring safeguards weren’t built for any of it,” said Taylor Liggett, ID.me Chief Growth Officer. “Employers need identity proofing embedded directly in their hiring workflows, not bolted on after the fact. This partnership with Crosschq delivers that. And with more than 160 million people and 800 employers already using ID.me, most candidates can prove their identity in seconds.”
By strengthening identity assurance at critical stages of the hiring journey, Crosschq continues to advance its vision of improving quality of hire through structured, data-driven decision-making. The partnership ensures employers can identify potential risk signals early without sacrificing speed, efficiency, or candidate experience.
