Proof of Employment data extraction

An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from Proofs of Employment.

Uploading Proofs of Employment to the OCR API

The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a Proof of Employment to our API. This is typically done from a mobile app or a web application.

The document can be sent cropped or un-cropped (with background). If the scan is sent uncropped, the Klippa API will automatically crop the document. The Klippa PoE scanning SDK can also be used in mobile apps. 

Image to text using OCR

As soon as a picture or PDF is received, it is converted to a TXT file by our engine. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but not yet structured.

Getting JSON output from the API

The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here the Proof of Employment can easily be processed into your database. 

Every field on the document can be captured, including the company name, duration of the contract, signatures from both parties, and many more. 

Klippa OCR can help you process Proof of Employment to verify your customers’ current employment status fast and efficiently while flagging possible fraud attempts.

What is a Proof of Employment ?

Proof of Employment (PoE) is often in the form of an Employment Verification Letter provided by an employer citing that a person has a working relationship with the employer. 

The letter contains essential information such as the name of the employer, company name, the length of the employment contract, employment status, and an employee’s details.

Financial institutions, future employers, governments, and legal institutions can require Proof of Employment for identification and verification purposes.

As your verification requests grow, an automated process with our Klippa OCR can help your organization save money and speed up PoE processing significantly.

Did you know that apart from proof of employment, Klippa OCR can scan other types of HR documents, such as employer statements, motivational letters, and resumes? Contact us for more information.
