Why employers are switching from Certn to VerifAI
Certn is a fast-growing background screening provider known for quick turnaround and a clean candidate experience, particularly popular in Canada and the UK. However, Certn's platform focuses on speed of delivery rather than depth of analysis — it returns records without AI-powered interpretation or clear hiring recommendations. VerifAI matches Certn's speed while adding the intelligence layer employers actually need to make confident decisions.

Certn is fast, but fast raw data still leaves interpretation to you. VerifAI delivers results just as quickly — with AI analysis that turns records into clear hiring recommendations.
Certn's streamlined checks can miss findings that deeper aggregation catches. VerifAI pulls from 200+ data sources and cross-verifies, so nothing important slips through.
US employers face FCRA, ban-the-box, and state-specific requirements that demand expertise. VerifAI's compliance tools and dedicated support are built for the US regulatory landscape.
Screening shouldn't stop at hire. VerifAI includes continuous monitoring so you're alerted to new records after onboarding — not just at day one.
"We used Certn for a year and liked the speed, but our hiring managers still had to interpret every report themselves. VerifAI gives us the same speed with clear recommendations attached — it's like upgrading from a data feed to an analyst."
