Identity Verification Requirement 

As part of Amwell's commitment to maintaining a secure and trusted hiring process, candidates may be asked to complete an identity verification step through Greenhouse Identity Verification powered by CLEAR during the interview process. 

Identity verification is used solely to confirm a candidate's identity and help prevent fraud and impersonation within the hiring process. It is not a background check and does not independently determine hiring decisions. 

Participation in identity verification is requested for this role but is not mandatory. Candidates who prefer not to participate may request to opt out of the identity verification process. Requests to opt out will be reviewed through Amwell's exception process, and alternative handling may be considered based on the requirements of the role and other relevant factors. Opting out of identity verification does not automatically remove a candidate from consideration. 

As part of the identity verification process, certain personal information may be collected and processed by Amwell and its service providers for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes. Additional information regarding the collection, use, processing, and protection of personal information is available in Amwell's Applicant Privacy Notice. Identity verification services are provided by CLEAR, which will provide additional information and obtain any required authorizations directly from candidates before processing identity verification information.
