Credential Verification Platform

Epic Overview

EPIC: Credential Verification Platform

DESCRIPTION: Develop a system for staffing companies to verify disclosed credentials from candidates. The system will integrate with Velocity-enabled verification platforms, display verification results across five key areas, and generate PDF reports for compliance and audit purposes. This functionality ensures that staffing companies can trust the authenticity and validity of credentials presented by candidates.

BUSINESS VALUE: Provides staffing companies with a reliable mechanism to verify the authenticity of candidate credentials, reducing fraud risk and improving hiring decision confidence. This functionality is critical for establishing trust in the digital credentialing ecosystem and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

STAKEHOLDERS: - Staffing Companies (Relying Parties) - Candidates (Credential Holders) - REC (Platform Owner) - Velocity Career Labs (VCL) - Regulatory Bodies (for compliance)

SIZE: Medium-Large - This functionality builds on the disclosure system and requires integration with verification services.

USER STORIES: - As a staffing company user, I want to verify disclosed credentials so that I can trust their authenticity. - As a staffing company user, I want to see verification results across the five Velocity Network verification areas so that I can understand the credential's trustworthiness. - As a staffing company user, I want to download PDF reports of verified credentials so that I can maintain records for compliance and audit purposes. - As a staffing company user, I want to verify credentials from the broader Velocity ecosystem, not just those issued through the REC platform, so that I can have a comprehensive verification process. - As a staffing company administrator, I want to configure which credentials require verification so that we can streamline our verification processes. - As a candidate, I want to know that my credentials are being verified through a trusted system so that I can be confident in the security of my information.

Implementation Details

The Credential Verification Platform will be delivered in the second project drop alongside the disclosure functionality. It includes:

1. Verification Process Integration
2. Integration with Velocity-enabled universal verification platforms (e.g., VerifyMyCreds)
3. Reuse of existing VerifyMyCreds code and functionality

4. API connections for verification requests and responses

5. Verification Results Display

6. Clear visualization of the five verification areas:
   1. Credential was issued to the holder
   2. Credential was issued by the indicated issuer
   3. Credential has not expired
   4. Credential has not been tampered with
   5. Credential has not been revoked
7. Status indicators for each verification check

8. Overall verification status summary

9. PDF Report Generation

10. Customizable PDF reports of verification results
11. Inclusion of all relevant credential details
12. Timestamp and verification metadata
13. Compliance with audit requirements

14. Support for credentials from the entire Velocity ecosystem

15. Verification Management

16. Options to verify some or all disclosed credentials
17. Batch verification capabilities
18. Verification history and tracking

Dependencies

• Integration with Velocity-enabled verification platforms (VerifyMyCreds)
• Code reuse from existing VerifyMyCreds platform (provided by VCL)
• Credential Disclosure Management system must be implemented first
• PDF generation service integration
