About Certn

Changing Background Checks Globally

Certn isn’t a background check provider with a tech department—we’re a tech company changing how people think about and share information.

Hero About Us 1

Certn is a values-driven company. We use our values to guide how we work. Our values are also the reason we’re improving all steps of the background screening process.

Our values are the reason we developed the easiest-to-use platform, provide outstanding customer service, and are so focused on tech-first solutions that deliver results fast—and with the kind of global coverage that matches today’s workforce trends. (Our international workforce is 100% remote, so we get it.)

Land Acknowledgement

Certn was founded on land that is the traditional, sacred, and shared territory of the Lekwungen (lək̓ʷəŋən)—now known as Esquimalt and Songhees—peoples.

Lekwungen means “Place to Smoke Herring.” The Lekwungen Peoples have hunted and gathered here since time immemorial. This area, with its temperate climate, natural harbours, and rich resources, was a trading centre for a diverse group of First Peoples.
