When you’re a manager of a big company, you don’t always have the time, manpower, or ability to check and verify
ID cards of all of your job applicants. It’s usually the case that you’re in a bind to hire someone quickly
to cover a shift or to fill an immediate position. So what do you do? You or your human resources director
interviews the person, checks references, and hopes that all the identification cards are real. If your
applicant passes the interview and reference checks, he’ll usually start that same week. You’ll pray that the ID is valid.
Why put yourself through all of that anxiety? With an ID reader, your applicant’s identification cards can be
swiped through a portable scanner, with results given within moments. The ID reader scans magnetic strips,
barcodes, and pictures, and searches for discrepancies. This verification process can happen effortlessly
even prior to the interview. Imagine wasting no more time interviewing people who have invalid identification.
In essence, the ID reader acts as a mini lie detector; it weeds out the bad applicants before you spend the
time and money on orientation. The money, time, and effort you save on hiring the right people will really
endear you to your ID reader
Let’s say, for example, that you’re a manager of a grocery store that has a liquor license. You’ve been
advertising for the night shift for about two weeks and have had no decent applicants except for one person.
However, you have a hunch that he’s underage, even though his ID says he’s not. It’s too risky to hire him
if he’s lying about his age, but you have no real way to verify his ID. What do you do? If you have an ID
reader, you can easily solve your dilemma. Simply slide his identification through the ID reader and you’ll
know within minutes if he’s of legal age. You’ve just saved yourself sleepless nights worrying if you’ll
lose your liquor license.
After using an ID reader, you’ll ask yourself how you lived without it for so long. You’ll have more time at
work to interview the candidates that actually have valid ID’s.
