Five checkpoints.
Zero shortcuts.
Every candidate goes through a rigorous 5-point verification protocol before speaking with you. Syfter Certified is what your staffing firm should be doing.
Schedule a DiscussionWhat Syfter Certified means.
No virtual or blurred backgrounds allowed. We see where you are. The environment is part of the verification.
Recorded and transcribed. The end client can confirm it was a real candidate answering real questions they did not know ahead of time.
Unscripted and unprepared. Candidates answer on their own, in real time, with no advance notice of the questions.
Mitigates tax and compliance exposure. We do not claim to eliminate all risk, but we significantly reduce it by confirming the candidate is where they say they are.
Prevents fraud and misrepresentation. No claiming to be in New York while sitting in another country.
Travel notification required. If the candidate leaves their designated work location, they must notify both Syfter and the hiring manager before the change.
Client-provided questions. The client gives us two open-ended questions. The candidate has never seen them. They answer live, on camera, in real time.
Visual monitoring. No virtual or blurred backgrounds allowed. We see the full environment. No second screens, no earpieces, no prompts. Human-to-human interaction throughout.
Can we eliminate AI entirely? No. But someone would have to go through extraordinary lengths to fool this process. That is the point. We maximize real human interaction and disable the most common ways people cheat.
Resume, social media, and interview responses compared. Inconsistencies between what they wrote, what they posted online, and what they say on camera get resolved before submission.
Work authorization confirmed. Visa status and work authorization verified during screening, separate from any formal background check.
Background checks after offer. Once there is an offer, we conduct a formal background check.
Signed affirmation of identity and location. They affirm they are who they say they are, located where they say they are, and that all information is accurate.
Exclusive engagement commitment. They work exclusively for your company during the engagement. No moonlighting, no side projects on your time.
Can people still lie? Yes. But when someone signs their name to a specific set of commitments, the bar to deceive goes up significantly.
