Background checks,verified at the source.

Most background check vendors still rely on what candidates type into a form. Ethur connects directly to payroll providers, banks, and biometric ID — so every report is triple-verified, AI-fraud-proof, and ready to defend.

/ The reality

Resumes lie.
Payroll and banks don't.

Legacy background checks ask candidates to type their employer, dates, and pay — then phone HR weeks later. Ethur reads it directly from the source so you know who you're hiring before the offer goes out.

Without Ethur
  • Self-reported employer, dates, and salary
  • 5–14 day employment verification
  • AI-generated paystubs slipping through
  • Static reports that go stale on day one
  • Surcharges for every county and add-on
With Ethur
  • Payroll-direct employment & income
  • Bank-direct deposit confirmation
  • Biometric ID matched to payroll name
  • Continuous re-verification post-hire
  • Flat, transparent per-report pricing

/ FAQ

Common questions

How fast are reports?

Most triple-verified reports clear in under 5 minutes. Criminal-only checks return in seconds where instant data is available.

Is this FCRA compliant?

Yes. Ethur is FCRA-compliant out of the box, with built-in pre-adverse and adverse action workflows, dispute handling, and state-level rules engines.

What if a candidate won't link payroll or bank?

We fall back gracefully to document upload + AI review and traditional HR verification. You set the policy per role.

Do you re-screen post-hire?

Yes — payroll, bank, and watchlist signals stay live with consent, alerting you the moment something changes.
