A background check that’s wrong is worse than one that’s slow. Errors don’t just cause hiring delays, they damage candidate trust, increase legal risk, and tank your reputation.

Certn delivers accurate background checks by combining biometric identity verification, AI-powered document parsing, and global coverage across 225 countries and territories. We automate what matters to reduce manual errors and keep human oversight where it counts. 

Checkr? While strong in the US, users report errors, delays, incomplete or inconsistent results, especially in international checks. If accuracy, compliance, and global reliability are on your list, Certn’s your safe bet.

Certn is built for bulk and volume screening with an easy-to-use, customizable platform. Our automation cuts down admin time, reduces manual errors, and helps your team get to confident hiring decisions, faster.

Certn delivers real support when it counts, no ticket loops or chatbot dead ends. Here’s what you get:

• Live Chat: Instant help, right inside the platform for fast troubleshooting.
• 24/7 Help Center: Access an always-on knowledge base with guides, FAQs, and step-by-step instructions for admins and candidates.
• Candidate Support: Friendly, accessible support for your candidates / applicants, so they don’t blow up your inbox with, “How do I upload my ID?”
• Dedicated Account Managers: Enterprise partners get a named point of contact who knows your setup and goals.

Certn’s support is responsive, human-backed and proactive, because when background checks stall, hiring stalls. And we don’t do delays.

Absolutely. One-size-fits-all doesn’t work in hiring, and it doesn’t work here either. With Certn, you can:

• Choose checks or tailor packages to specific roles, risk profiles or regions.
• Set risk tiers for different access levels (e.g., finance vs. retail)
• Automate rescreening for roles that have recurring compliance needs
• Customize candidate experience flows to match your brand
