Scaut and Trinsic have partnered to bring reusable digital credentials and cryptographically verified digital identities to employment background screening. The integration allows employers to verify candidates using trusted digital credentials — such as mobile driver’s licenses, government-issued digital IDs, and digital wallet credentials — instead of relying solely on physical identity documents. By combining Trinsic’s digital identity infrastructure with Scaut’s behavioral biometrics capabilities, the solution aims to combat growing hiring fraud risks, including deepfakes, synthetic identities, and document forgery. The partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward reusable, interoperable digital credentials and continuous identity verification throughout the hiring process.
