Best forHigh-volume hiring teams that need criminal and identity checks completed in minutes rather than days; Employers screening candidates in multiple countries through one platform covering all 195 countries; Staffing, retail, hospitality, construction and manufacturing businesses that want pay-per-check pricing with no setup fees or minimums; Talent teams already on Greenhouse, Lever or Workday that want screening embedded in the existing hiring workflowSecurity teams standardizing credential protection for employees, developers, and service accounts in one vault; Enterprises that need coverage for apps and credentials outside their identity provider; Organizations that must discover shadow AI/SaaS usage and govern AI agent access at runtime; Developer-heavy engineering orgs needing secrets management and CLI/CI pipeline automation; Compliance-driven buyers that want audit-ready activity and session logs
Not forOrganizations that require an on-premise or self-hosted screening deployment; Buyers who need fixed USD price certainty — published per-check pricing is in Canadian dollars and pass-through access fees may apply; Teams expecting AI to make adverse hiring decisions — Certn states it keeps human oversight and does not use AI for automated decisionsCost-sensitive teams that want a simple shared vault with published per-seat list pricing; Organizations whose identity provider already covers every application they run; Buyers who require instant self-serve signup and checkout without a sales conversation; Teams needing a vertically specialized platform (for example a vendor-stated HIPAA BAA or FedRAMP authorization) evidenced up front
