/ The reality

References without verification
are worse than nothing.

If a candidate provides a reference number, what stops it from being a fake employer phone tree? Ethur ties every reference to a payroll-verified working relationship.

Without Ethur
  • Self-supplied reference numbers
  • Fake employer phone trees
  • Long, unstructured free-text replies
  • No relationship verification
  • Manual collation into the report
With Ethur
  • Payroll-verified reference identity
  • Structured + free-form questionnaires
  • AI-summarized reference reports
  • Auto-routing into adjudication
  • Tampering and authenticity checks

/ FAQ

Common questions

What if a reference doesn't match payroll?

We flag the relationship as unverified and surface that in the report. Adjudicators can request additional references or downgrade the weight.

How long do references take?

Most complete within 24–48 hours — reference UX is mobile-first and takes under 5 minutes.

Are references FCRA-bound?

Yes. Reference data flows into the FCRA-defensible report with full consent and audit trail.
