The Verified First alternative with real integrations and one clear price.
Verified First markets integration breadth — but many of those integrations are surface-level, and pricing is opaque. Ethur delivers deep native integrations with your ATS, payroll-direct verifications, and transparent bundled pricing.
Why teams move from Verified First to Ethur.
Deep, not just wide
Native integrations with Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, and SmartRecruiters — plus a REST API for anything custom.
Transparent bundled pricing
One clear price per package. No pass-through court fees, no verification surcharges, no per-integration cost.
Verified at the source
Employment, income, and identity anchored to payroll, bank, and biometric records — not phone calls.
What replacing Verified First actually looks like.
Real Ethur surfaces — the dashboard your recruiters open, the portal your candidates see, and the biometric verifications running behind them.
