Affinidi’s solution converts verified employment and education records into cryptographically signed credentials that candidates can store in a digital wallet. This creates a reusable professional “passport” that candidates can share across employers, cutting verification times to minutes while allowing individuals to retain full control of their data.
Affinidi has launched a pilot to speed up cross-border hiring between Singapore and India by replacing manual background checks with verifiable credentials.
The pilot involves collaborations with Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and employment screening companies, including Avvanz, eeCheck and Risk Management Intelligence (RMI). Today, background checks typically take five to 15 days. This delay adds cost and increases fraud exposure, a mounting risk as Gartner predicts that by 2028, one in four hiring profiles will be fraudulent.
