The HireRight alternative built for speed and transparency.
HireRight handles enterprise volume — but candidates wait, status visibility is thin, and verifications carry per-check surcharges. Ethur verifies employment and income directly from payroll and bank sources, with real-time status on every order.
Why teams move from HireRight to Ethur.
Real-time status
Every order streams live status to your ATS and inbox via webhooks — no portal refreshing or support tickets.
90-second verifications
Employment and income verified from payroll and bank records instead of 5–14 days of employer outreach.
One clear price
Criminal, identity, employment, and MVR bundled into a single line item with no surcharges.
What replacing HireRight actually looks like.
Real Ethur surfaces — the dashboard your recruiters open, the portal your candidates see, and the biometric verifications running behind them.
