References, tied to verified relationships.
Telegram fraud rings sell fake references for $200. Ethur ties every reference to a payroll-verified employment relationship — so the manager confirming the candidate actually managed them.
80+ payroll providers. 12,000+ financial institutions.
Direct, consent-based integrations with the systems your candidates already use — no documents, no scraping.
References without verification are worse than nothing.

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.
