The Cisive alternative with enterprise depth and self-serve speed.
Cisive is trusted for regulated hiring — but its ordering surface, turnaround times, and integrations lag modern platforms. Ethur delivers the same depth in healthcare, transportation, and finance screening with a modern API and payroll-direct verifications.
Why teams move from Cisive to Ethur.
Regulated-industry ready
OIG/SAM/GSA, FMCSA/DOT, and finance-adjacent screening packages built in — with continuous monitoring.
Payroll-direct verification
Verify employer, title, dates, and pay in 90 seconds — critical for high-trust roles where fraud risk is highest.
Modern platform experience
Sub-hour national criminal, real-time status, and a first-class REST + webhooks API.
What replacing Cisive actually looks like.
Real Ethur surfaces — the dashboard your recruiters open, the portal your candidates see, and the biometric verifications running behind them.
