Background checks are necessary, but they don’t have to be slow or complicated. As a growing global startup, we understand the intricacies of tech companies and can tailor our background screening and identity verification services to suit you. Keep reading to learn more about how Certn background checks help tech companies.
Certn Background Checks Technology
From securing top talent from a global talent pool to developing a steady talent pipeline, HR leaders have a lot of hurdles to clear. Having the right people on your team is the biggest advantage your company can have. On the flip side, who you hire can leave your company in a bad place.
If you work in the tech industry, we know you face many of the same challenges that those in non-technical fields do, but the demands of the industry often exacerbate them. From building recruiting teams to leading entire HR organizations at a Series A startup with 30 people, to growing through an IPO and working with a 1,000+ person company.
Our online screening process sets us apart from other background check vendors. Our technology automates all parts of the screening process, which saves everyone from paper-based applications and the stress of longer turnaround times. That’s right, you don’t need to print, scan and upload forms.
Industry-Specific Checks
Again, we’re aware the tech industry has unique conditions that make hiring more complex. After all, we’re a growing global Series B startup! We’ve designed a workflow for background checks for tech companies where quick screening is important for a skilled workforce and remote arrangements.
We can help you run:
- Criminal Record Checks
- Identity Verification
- Employment Verification
- Education Verification
- Credential Verification
Given that the industry has always been a rapidly changing field (this is especially true with emerging technologies and the rise of AI), these checks help you ensure that your candidates have the specialized skills needed.
Single Global Platform
We’re committed to investing in technology for the most accurate results. With our single global platform, you can run all the checks you need – in whatever location – to get the full picture and find the best employee for the role. According to the Appcast 2024 Recruitment Benchmark Marketing Report, 36% of job applications were submitted from mobile devices (with an overwhelming 86% of gig job applications done via a mobile device).
Why not extend your screening experience to a smartphone as well to reduce candidate drop-off? 80% of candidates complete their Certn background checks from a mobile device, so we consider it a perfect match!
Bulk Hiring Capabilities
Protect users, enhance platform credibility, and drive the growth of a trustworthy and secure gig economy with background screening packages by role. Our platform is built to handle high volumes and can support large hiring events such as seasonal job fairs and expansions into new markets. Our clients can combine checks into “Packages” and request industry-specific screening with the click of one button. Bulk ordering also allows you to request the same checks for thousands of people at once.
Compliant Global Background Screening
Our rigorous compliance standards and experienced customer support team help protect your liability exposure, even during demanding recruiting scenarios. Built-in compliance tools can automatically trigger disclosures and notifications (e.g., adverse action notice requirements) and limit product use based on region, whether you’re running one background check or one hundred.
Seamless, Integrated Background Checks
To streamline and automate the hiring process, many companies adopt recruiting software. Recruiting software helps attract candidates, coordinate interviews and feedback, and extend offers. It’s important to have this digitized process extend to background checks as well.
If you already have a preferred ATS or HRIS, no sweat, you can use an out-of-the-box integration to embed the Certn background check process into your existing workflows using our background check API. This reduces duplicate data entry and means your candidates can complete the background check step as part of your onboarding process – it’s a more smooth process overall. Integration to platforms such as Workable, Workday, Fountain, and Greenhouse helps your business stay on top of screening. We can also white-label the screening step for your company so you can email an invitation to a prospective employee that matches your candidate experience.
Here’s more on which popular systems we already integrate with in our Partner Marketplace.
Faster Background Checks Turnaround Times
The Global Workplace Study by the recruiting firm Morgan McKinley reveals that 34% of candidates say too many interview rounds, lengthy processes, and slow decision making causes them to drop off an application process. Even 24% of employers themselves admit that the slower hiring procedure was one of the reasons why they lost out on hiring talent last year.
We get it. We understand the pressure to streamline your hiring process to keep costs down. We generate online results from direct data sources such as government databases to shorten turnaround times. For example, our SOQUIJ checks are automated, while there are still people running to the courthouse.
Certn’s background screening is designed to deliver quick results – ideal for HR leaders tasked with finding the perfect fit for your company. Depending on what you run, Certn can have the background check report in minutes or hours, not days. This means faster time-to-hire and no missing out on top candidates.
The Future of Certn Background Checks
At Certn, we’re committed to pioneering innovative technologies that not only streamline processes but also foster trust and transparency in digital interactions. In a nutshell, we’re creating a safer digital world. This isn’t just about hiring, but every transaction that requires trust between a person and another person or a business.
While trust is an abstract idea, it’s fundamental to building our vision for a safer digital world through verifiable credentials – you deserve to know for certain who you’re interacting with online, that the technologies and processes involved are secure and ethical.
One way we make trust faster and easier is through our online background checks that use AI and automation. Another way? Our industry-leading Certn ID identity verification service. However, we didn’t set out to be just another background screening vendor. We set out to make sharing information faster and easier and to solve one of society’s hardest problems: building trust. We believe that opportunities increase alongside trust, so we’re improving digital verifications to mobilize greater futures.
Background screening will continue to be a part of our offering to our clients, the employers, property managers and lenders that make up the 20,000 teams we serve, but we’ve also got our sights set on how credentials are issued, verified, and shared, and how to ensure individuals have access to and control over their data. Doesn’t a world where you verify once, verify everywhere sound easy?

Certn Background Checks to Enhance the Candidate Experience
Tech hiring isn’t a one-way process of you determining whether a prospective candidate is good or not; it’s a two way dialogue where a prospect also needs to understand and know you. From the job application through the final offer letter, the candidate experience influences how applicants perceive your company.
Research from IBM Smarter Workforce Institute indicates that job applicants who do not receive a job offer are 80% more likely to apply again if they already had a positive impression of the hiring organization. A positive candidate experience also can help improve the quality of new employees, reduce hiring costs, and increase retention rates.
Our single global platform is a streamlined user-friendly tool for HR leaders and candidates so you can deliver a screening process that’s aligned with your brand. The mobile-responsive design in our Applicant Portal keeps candidates engaged throughout the process while reducing time spent on screening inputs. The Portal allows users to manage all background check and screening tasks in a centralized place with order status, required actions, and compliance-enabled features.
Background Checks for SOC 2 Compliance
Our background checks can help you meet SOC 2 compliance requirements.
Background checks play a crucial role in helping organizations meet SOC 2 requirements, particularly in the context of the Trust Service Criteria related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Conducting thorough background checks helps verify the criminal history, employment history, and educational qualifications of potential employees. This reduces the risk of insider threats and helps maintain the integrity of the organization’s security posture. Furthermore, by screening employees for past fraud or dishonesty, you can help prevent individuals with a history of unethical behaviour from compromising data processing integrity.
