Suzy Ko Talent Acquisition Leader ATB Financial

We looked at 8 different providers, and we're so happy we made the switch to Certn! They were able to integrate with our ATS to deliver faster and cheaper background checks for MYOB, with a much better candidate experience.

Ed Smith Employee Experience Manager MYOB

Before, we needed local staff to carry out background checks for an individual. Now with Certn, we can have one person doing checks for multiple regions, and it’s all connected through one, global dashboard.
