MiiCard Works with Recruitment Software to Validate Candidates’ Identities, Adds Yodlee’s Joseph Polverari to Board

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on August 8, 2012
Categories: MiiCard

Online identity verification service, miiCard, yesterday made two announcements.

1) It announced that it is working with recruitment software, Firefish, to validate the identities of job candidates entirely online.

This will reduce administrative costs for Firefish clients who previously were responsible for running their own identity checks. Firefish will be the first recruitment software to allow candidates to validate their identities using miiCard.

2) miiCard announced that Joseph Polverari, Yodlee’s Chief Strategy and Development Officer and Managing Director, has joined miiCard’s board as a non-executive director:

“This appointment deepens a strategic alliance between the two companies to build the first global platform for accurate, real time identity verification compliant with Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer standards.”

To learn more about miiCard and Yodlee, watch miiCard’s FinovateEurope 2012 demo and Yodlee’s FinovateEurope 2011 demo.
