The challenge:
jobvalley processes an enormous volume of employment and customer contracts every day, which makes manual processing and tracking practically impossible or very expensive.
As these contracts are subject to legal formal requirements, they must be legally signed with a qualified electronic signature (QES). The use of QES ensures legal certainty and compliance for jobvalley. At the same time, jobvalley places people from different countries with a variety of identification documents.
The demand for a solution that could reliably process a wide range of document types was correspondingly high.

"We have a very high volume of contracts and always having to personally identify the contractual partners and manually check the signature is a hugely expensive endeavour. With Certifaction, we no longer have to deal with this in most cases. no longer have to deal with this."
Lena Mrowetz-Schmidt, Product Owner
The solution
jobvalley opted for Certifaction because the solution supports a large number of verifiable ID documents from around 100 different countries. As the contract documents contain sensitive salary data, the security of the Zero Document Knowledge technology was also a decisive advantage. The API integration was completed after just five weeks and jobvalley was ready for the soft launch.
jobvalley particularly appreciates Certifaction’s flexibility and agility. Challenges were tackled in a partnership and solution-orientated manner. It quickly became apparent that many students had a residence permit that the identification provider associated with Certifaction was initially unable to read. The residence permits and some other previously unverifiable passports from more exotic countries were included, significantly increasing the acceptance rate for QES identification.
In addition, jobvalley and Certifaction jointly optimised the QES identification process to make it more intuitive, faster and smoother for users.

FAQs
Our answers to the most frequently asked questions
Are Certifaction's eSignatures legally valid?
Yes. Our eSignatures are legally valid and support all major global standards (incl. eIDAS, ZertES, UETA, ESIGN).
In addition, you can choose the signature type that suits you best: from the cost-effective simple eSignature to the qualified eSignature (QES).
What is the Zero Document Knowledge technology and what are the advantages?
Unlike most competing providers, Certifaction offers the option of signing documents without ever seeing their content. The documents are processed locally on the customer side and encrypted when using the web app.
In the case of API integration, a local gateway takes over the encryption. In the event of a hack, the file would therefore be encrypted and unreadable. We also ensure that the documents are stored on ISO 27001-certified servers in Switzerland or an EU country.
Is there a white-labeled version of Certifaction?
How much integration work is involved?
The Certifaction WebApp can be used immediately in the browser. The eSignature solution can also be integrated quickly via an API connection. Alternatively, the solution can be used as a white label product with full personalisation. Depending on the requirements, this is ready within a few weeks.
Why should I choose Certification over an on-premises solution?
What makes Certification stand out from the competition?
Certifaction is characterised by its innovative technology and clear focus on partnerships. Our customers value us as a trustworthy European partner that not only offers close cooperation and the highest security standards, but also enables the integration of its own products through white label solutions.
