CrewBlast, an app-based air crew staffing company, has enhanced its platform by integrating advanced identity verification technology. The company said this move, in partnership with IdRamp and Clear, introduces a new standard of security and efficiency.
Clear, which offers secure identity solutions across 55 U.S. airports, contributes its expertise to CrewBlast’s platform. The integration aims to streamline and secure the identity verification process for CrewBlast’s crewmembers and hiring operators.
"This integration reinforces our dedication to providing the best possible experience for crewmembers and operators while maintaining the highest standards of security," said CrewBlast founder and CEO Timothy Griffin.
According to CrewBlast, crewmembers will undergo rigorous identity verification when responding to trip requests. The app will incorporate identity verification seamlessly, minimizing disruptions and simplifying the process. Coupled with existing background checks, the addition of this verification layer assures users of robust security.
The new system is also designed to expedite the verification process, reducing time and effort for crewmembers to confirm their identities. Crewmembers and operators will experience a simplified verification method, requiring only a government-issued ID and a selfie for initial setup. Subsequent verifications will prompt users to take a selfie, leveraging the initial ID information for quick identification.
