January: 2022 Fraudulent Trends report

At the start of the year, we compiled a report that highlighted the trends in fraudulent identity documents in 2022.  Identifying a fake document isn’t always easy and the techniques deployed by fraudsters are always evolving.

Performing thousands of identity document verification checks every week allows us to detect and record a wide range of fake documents. For a more comprehensive look into the trends from 2022, you can read our blog here.

February: Digital Right to Work video

As a certified IDSP, TrustID prides itself in providing a user-friendly digital Right to Work service, aiding employers in efficiently onboarding their applicants from anywhere. To address common questions we get asked about how the service works, we created a short video explaining the process in detail.

March: In-house Recruitment Exhibition and Recruitment Agency Exhibition 

March was a busy month as the TrustID team attended two different conference events. The first, at the Custard Factory in Birmingham, was the In-house Recruitment Live exhibition on Thursday 2nd March.
