Reviewing Verified Applications¶
Once Polyguard PreScreen is live, every verified application carries a Trust Check result. This page explains where the result appears and what it means.
Where Verification Appears¶
The Trust Check result is written directly onto the candidate record in your applicant tracking system — there is no separate tool to check. Depending on your integration, you will see the verification result:
- As a note or custom field on the application in Greenhouse, Rippling, or Workday.
- In the Polyguard Console, under the candidate's Trust Check record.
What a Verified Application Tells You¶
| Claim | What it confirms |
|---|---|
| Verified person | A real, present human completed the check using real-time facial recognition — not a bot, a deepfake, or a remote-controlled session. |
| Device attestation | The application is tied to a genuine, hardware-attested device. |
| Certainty score | A confidence score for the facial recognition check. |
| Transaction Affidavit | A signed, timestamped record of the verification that you can retain for compliance. |
The Trust Check verifies presence, not identity. It does not return a candidate's verified name, government ID details, or phone number.
Privacy by design
Polyguard returns verified claims, not raw biometric data. Facial recognition is processed on the candidate's phone and never leaves their device. You get the assurance without storing sensitive biometrics.
Using Verification in Your Process¶
- Prioritize verified applicants. Verified candidates are real people who completed a Trust Check, a strong early signal.
- Treat unverified direct applications with care. With the Inbound Backstop enabled, applications that have not cleared the Human Verification stage have not yet completed a Trust Check.
- Retain the affidavit. The Transaction Affidavit is a litigation-ready record that the candidate was verified at the time of application.
What's Next?¶
- Review setup options for your applicant tracking system.
- Point candidates to What to Expect if they have questions about the process.
