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.

Customer requirements at a glance

  1. Easy-to-use digital signatures for high volumes
  2. Legally valid QES solution
  3. High number of verifiable ID documents
  4. Joint product development and allied partners

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

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).

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.

Yes, Certifaction offers a customised white label option for partners. This enables the seamless integration of own products such as eIDs and certificates. The white label solution gives partners complete control over the platform. As an integration partner, we help open up new revenue streams and maximise business potential by providing tailored solutions for individual needs.

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.

Certifaction is a hybrid solution without a complex infrastructure. The connection is established via API or by installing the CLI client. This makes our eSignature solution more flexible and cost-effective than a solution that is operated in your own data centre.

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. This opens up new business opportunities and additional revenue streams for our partners. Our solution offers:
