# New Hires

**What is Validia?**\
Validia provides continuous identity authentication for virtual interactions. By embedding real-time identity validation into platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, Validia protects remote interviews from impersonation attempts, deepfakes, and AI-powered fraud. It ensures you're evaluated in a trusted and secure environment.

**Why am I being asked to onboard?**\
You’re being asked to complete Validia onboarding for your upcoming interview. This process prevents interview fraud by confirming that the person on the call is truly you. It protects the hiring process and helps ensure fairness for all candidates.

**How is my data stored and handled?**\
Your biometric is converted into a private, irreversible embedding that cannot be used to recreate any images or audio of you. If your interview process ends and your hiring organization no longer requires it, your biometric data is automatically deleted within 30 days.

**Will I see my authentications?**\
Yes. During your interview, the Validia Bot will share a real-time dashboard in the meeting chat. It shows who has been authenticated and their status so everyone is aligned and transparent during the session.<br>
