Candidates and HR get a modern shareable report with a public link — not a PDF buried in email. Forward it to legal, compliance, or the hiring manager in one click.
Yes. Every Provite report includes a timestamped audit trail — who submitted the request, what was verified, what the employer confirmed, and a full contact attempt log. It's shareable via a non-guessable public link and downloadable as a PDF. Designed for compliance teams and legal review.
We cover any employer with a reachable HR contact or public verification email. The Work Number primarily relies on payroll data submitted by employers — which means gig workers, small businesses, and international employers are often missing. Our AI contacts employers directly, so coverage is broader in practice.
Provite includes a candidate consent flow that satisfies FCRA requirements. All verifications are initiated with documented candidate authorization. If you have specific compliance requirements, contact us — we can walk through the process.
Yes. Every verification report has a one-click PDF export available from the report page and from the public share link. The PDF includes all findings, the audit trail, and the Provite verification badge.
Our AI drafts a tailored outreach email to the employer's HR department and sends it on your behalf. We follow up twice if needed. When HR responds, we extract the employment details, compare them against the candidate's claim, and generate a structured report flagging any discrepancies.
If we cannot locate a valid contact for the employer after reasonable effort, we refund that check. If the employer exists but doesn't respond after three outreach attempts, the report is flagged "unverified" with a full contact timeline — that's a real outcome, not a failure, and we don't refund for it.
