Passwords alone are no longer enough. AviontéBOLD’s built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a critical second layer of identity verification during login, helping reduce unauthorized access and protect sensitive candidate, client, payroll, and compliance data.
Your recruiters handle a significant amount of sensitive information every day, including candidate Social Security numbers, direct deposit details, tax documents, client billing information, and compliance records. It all lives inside your staffing platform, and much of it is accessible with a username and password.
That combination used to feel secure. It doesn’t anymore.
Credential theft remains one of the most common entry points for data breaches across every industry, and staffing is no exception. Phishing emails, password reuse, and credentials leaked from unrelated platforms mean attackers often don’t need sophisticated tools to gain access. They just need a valid login.
Microsoft has reported that MFA can block more than 99.9% of automated account compromise attacks, making it one of the most effective access controls available.
That’s why MFA is built directly into AviontéBOLD. No third-party tools. No separate implementation project. Just stronger protection built into the platform your team already uses daily.
Staffing firms operate in fast-moving environments where convenience often takes precedence over caution. Recruiters log in remotely. Teams share devices. Employees change roles. Passwords are reused. All of those realities increase risk.
The problem is simple: once a password is compromised, an attacker can gain access to everything associated with that account.
By requiring a second form of verification during login, MFA adds another layer of protection between compromised credentials and your data. Even if a password is stolen, unauthorized users still can’t access the account without the second verification factor.
For staffing agencies managing sensitive workforce and payroll information, that protection matters. A single unauthorized login can create compliance exposure, erode client trust, and disrupt operations, and pull your team into costly incident response efforts.
MFA helps stop those issues before they start.
MFA in AviontéBOLD requires two forms of verification during login:
During initial setup, users register a phone number to receive a verification code via text message or voice call. Once verified, users can also enable email verification.
To reduce unnecessary friction for trusted users and devices, AviontéBOLD also includes a “Remember this device for 30 days” option. This allows users to stay logged in on their own secure devices while still maintaining stronger protection in shared or public environments.
MFA is enabled by default for HCM users. Agencies can also configure MFA for talent users, either as:
If talent users choose not to enroll, access to sensitive portal features — including pay history, direct deposit, and tax documents — remains restricted. This creates a natural incentive to enable MFA without imposing unnecessary barriers to portal access.
Security tools often fail when they create operational friction. Like many AviontéBOLD features, MFA is designed for the realities of staffing operations: fast-moving teams, high user activity, sensitive data, and the need to keep work moving without interruption. It strengthens account protection without slowing teams down.
Administrators maintain full control directly within the platform. That means:
The result is stronger security without adding unnecessary administrative overhead.
Security is ultimately about trust.
Your clients trust you with workforce data. Your talent trusts you with personal and financial information. Protecting that data isn’t just about meeting compliance requirements. It’s part of safeguarding the relationships your business depends on.
MFA helps reduce one of the most common and preventable risks facing staffing organizations today. Because it’s already built into AviontéBOLD, agencies can strengthen account security without purchasing additional software or managing complex integrations.
That kind of protection shouldn’t be treated like an optional add-on. It should just be there.
And in AviontéBOLD, it is.
