SAN DIEGO and LONDON, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK) (www.miteksystems.com), a global leader in mobile capture and identity verification software solutions, today announced that a leading job website has selected Mobile Verify® to verify the identities of first-time job posters. This will enable the site to ensure that job seekers only see legitimate career opportunities.

"Integrity of job listings is important," said James B. DeBello, CEO of Mitek. "In fact, job posting fraud has become so prevalent in recent years that the Federal Trade Commission launched Operation Empty Promises in an effort to educate job seekers on common scams."

Mobile Verify mitigates the risk of scams by ensuring that all job posts are from verified sources. When a new job poster registers for the site from a desktop computer, they are directed via text to take a picture of their identity documents using their mobile device camera. Mobile Verify then uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technology to validate the authenticity of an identity document.
