Four checks, one platform

Everything you need to trust a hire.

Run any combination of checks per candidate. Each is consent-gated, time-stamped, and recorded in a tamper-evident audit log.

Identity

Ghana Card or passport validated against a live selfie with liveness detection — confirming the person is real and present.

Card · Passport · Liveness

Education

Direct confirmation with the institution that the credential, programme and graduation year are genuine and on record.

Institution · Credential

Employment

Prior employers confirm dates, job title and standing — closing the gap between a CV and what actually happened.

Dates · Title · Tenure

References

Structured referee questionnaires capture honest, comparable feedback — not just a name and number on a form.

Referee · Questionnaire
How it works

From request to decision in four steps.

A clean, candidate-friendly flow that keeps consent and audit at the centre of every check.

1

Request

Pick the checks and add the candidate from your dashboard or via the API. Pay per check in GHS.

2

Candidate consent

The candidate receives a secure link, reviews exactly what's checked, and gives explicit, logged consent.

3

Verify

We run identity, education, employment and reference checks with our verified sources and partners.

4

Decision

Get a clear, evidence-backed result — with every action preserved in a tamper-evident audit trail.

Why VerifyGH

Trust you can defend — to a board or a regulator.

Bank-grade security

Encrypted in transit and at rest, role-based access, and strict data-minimisation. Candidate data is handled like the sensitive asset it is.

  • Encryption at rest & in transit
  • Granular role-based access

Consent & compliance

Every check is gated by explicit candidate consent and built around Ghana's Data Protection Act (Act 843).

Fast turnaround

Automated where possible, human where it matters — most checks complete in well under two days.

Full audit log

Who requested what, when consent was given, every source touched — exportable, immutable, and ready for review.
