Learn how a major European HR services provider cross-checks ID documents and automates employee onboarding.
About the Company
One of Europe’s largest HR service providers, this organisation employs hundreds of thousands of people across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. They specialise in connecting talented professionals with companies and institutions in need of skilled employees, offering recruitment and staffing services across a wide range of sectors.
The Challenge: Time-Consuming and Error-Prone Manual Processes
The company faced a significant challenge in its employee onboarding process. Every month, thousands of new employees were required to submit forms and identity documents. Manual verification was slow and labour-intensive, requiring HR teams to cross-check details with passports and IDs. This not only created inefficiencies but also increased the risk of human error, leading to delays and potential compliance risks.


The Solution: Full Automation with Klippa’s OCR API
To overcome these challenges, the company turned to Klippa to automate the verification of employee identity documents. By integrating Klippa’s OCR API into the onboarding workflow, the system could automatically extract data from passports, IDs, and other official documents. The extracted data was then cross-checked against employee sign-up forms, flagging discrepancies for review.
Image quality was initially a challenge, as employees often submitted poorly scanned or unclear documents. To solve this, Klippa supported the company in improving document submission guidelines, helping employees provide higher-quality images. A tailored solution was also developed to support local legal requirements, ensuring compliance across different markets.
