We're Building the Future of Background Screening
VerifAI was founded in 2023 by a team of background screening veterans and AI researchers who saw a fundamental problem: traditional background check companies deliver raw data and leave employers to figure out the rest. We built VerifAI to change that — combining the most comprehensive data coverage in the industry with AI that actually makes hiring decisions easier.
Our Mission
To make every hiring decision safer, faster, and fairer by replacing outdated background check processes with intelligent AI that delivers clear, actionable recommendations — not data dumps.
Our Values
Accuracy First
Every data point is cross-referenced and verified. We don't guess — we confirm.
Transparency
Full visibility into how every risk score is calculated. No black boxes.
Compliance Built-In
FCRA, EEOC, and state-level compliance are embedded in every workflow.
Fair Chance
Our AI contextualizes findings to support fair hiring practices and reduce bias.
