Criminal records,matched to the right person.

Traditional criminal checks return name-matches and hope. Ethur ties every result to a triple-verified identity — payroll, bank, and biometric — so you never adjudicate the wrong person.

/ The reality

Same name.
Wrong person.

Most criminal hits are mismatches. Without a verified identity tied to the search, every name-collision becomes an adjudication headache and a candidate-experience disaster.

Without Ethur
  • Name + DOB matches with no identity anchor
  • Adjudicators chasing wrong-person hits all day
  • Slow county courts with no transparency
  • No global watchlist or sanctions coverage
  • Per-county surcharges hidden in invoices
With Ethur
  • Identity-anchored hits via biometric + payroll match
  • AI-prioritized review queue with reasoning
  • Direct court-runner network in 3,200+ jurisdictions
  • Global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media included
  • Flat, transparent per-report pricing

/ How it works

Search.
Match. Decide.

Every criminal scan starts with a triple-verified identity — so when something hits, you know it's the right person.

01

Identity locked first

Biometric ID + payroll match establishes who the candidate truly is before any criminal search runs.

02

Parallel court search

County, state, federal, and global watchlists run simultaneously across the candidate's address history.

03

AI adjudication

A Claude-powered agent applies your matrix, attaches reasoning, and surfaces only the cases that need a human.

04

Defensible decision

Pre-adverse and adverse action workflows generate FCRA-compliant letters automatically.

/ FAQ

Common questions

How do you reduce false-positive hits?

Every criminal record is matched to a biometric + payroll-anchored identity, not just name + DOB. Mismatches are filtered before they reach your queue.

What's your address history coverage?

We pull a verified address history from credit-header and bank-direct sources — searching every jurisdiction the candidate has lived in over the configured lookback.

Are continuous re-checks supported?

Yes. Post-hire, criminal and global watchlist signals stay live and alert you the moment something changes.
