AI-grounded Identity authentication for compliant hiring—any employer, any workforce, anywhere on any platform. Problem Employers are legally required to verify identity and work authorization for every hire, yet existing hiring systems validate documents and data—not the identity of the person presenting them. As remote hiring and identity fraud increase, this gap exposes employers and hiring platforms to growing compliance, audit, and enforcement risk. Solution ZipID is a compliance-ready identity verification and Form I-9 automation platform that authenticates the identity of the individual being hired. The platform combines AI-based real-time biometric authentication, OCR-based ID capture, and ID fraud detection. ZipID supports any employer completing Form I-9 and operates alongside E-Verify where applicable, enhancing government data verification with identity authentication that is automated, auditable, and scalable. The solution integrates with HRIS, ATS, and background screening systems without adding friction to hiring workflows. Market ZipID serves employers across industries that are required to complete Form I-9, as well as enterprise HR technology platforms supporting regulated hiring workflows. Customers include direct employers managing on-site, distributed, and remote workforces, and B2B platforms seeking a defensible identity layer embedded within their hiring processes. Market Size The U.S. labor market processes approximately 60–70 million new hires annually, each requiring Form I-9 completion under federal law. This creates a large, recurring volume of regulated identity verification transactions across employers of all sizes. ZipID addresses this market through a subscription plus per-transaction model for direct employer customers and enterprise licensing for HRIS, ATS, and background screening platforms. Identity verification and compliance services tied to hiring represent a multi-billion-dollar annual opportunity in the U.S. alone, driven by hiring volume, remote onboarding, and increased regulatory scrutiny. Background ZipID was founded by Janice Kephart, a nationally recognized expert in identity, security, and compliance. She served as border counsel to the 9/11 Commission, where she was a key author of the 9/11 Commission Report and the staff monograph on terrorist travel, shaping U.S. identity and security policy following 9/11. Kephart later served as Special Counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, where she led legislative efforts addressing identity theft and testified before Congress and the United Nations on identity integrity and security. ZipID applies this policy-level expertise to a commercial platform designed for real-world regulatory and audit environments.
