Employers
Inviting candidates, asking to read a passport, what you see once approved, verifications, the ATS integration and answering a verification request.
Getting started
- Creating your company accountSign up as an employer with your work address, set up your company or join the one already on certo, and what happens when certo checks it first.
- Completing your company profileFive fields candidates read before they decide: your name, logo, country, website and a short description. Inviting and asking to read wait for them.
- Inviting colleagues and their rolesAdd your team by e-mail and give each person a role: owner, admin, recruiter or issuer. One verification balance for everyone, no seats.
Hiring
- Inviting candidates to verifySponsor a candidate's checks with one verification. They see what you ask to read before accepting; once they accept, you read it on the terms they agreed.
- Asking to read a passportA candidate sent you their certo address. Ask them to open it to you from the passport page; one verification is held and comes back unless they approve.
- Reading a passport once it is open to youWho confirmed each line and exactly what they confirmed, what stays Claimed, what silence means, and why every read is logged.
- The requirements checklist, and when a candidate sends itEvery ask and invitation carries a checklist of what the candidate must have ready. You hear when they send it, and once, automatically, when it is complete.
- Positions and exporting candidatesGroup candidates under the roles you hire for, sort them by fit, and export a PDF pack or an Excel sheet of what they shared. Every export is logged.
- Recording the people who leaveIssue a confirmed employment record to someone leaving, at the moment they leave. They get a passport with the job already confirmed, and nobody has to chase you for a reference later.
Verifications and billing
- Verifications and what they costOne verification sponsors a candidate or opens a passport. Buy a pack when you need it; verifications never expire, and a verification comes back when nothing was delivered.
- Free reading for subscribed passportsWhen a candidate's passport reads free, your ask holds no verification. The candidate still approves you, and the access pauses if their year ends.
- Using a company verification on your own passportOwners and admins can spend one of the company's verifications to verify their own passport. The company gets no access to it.
Integrations
- The ATS integrationConnect your applicant tracking system once. Candidates who reach the stage you choose are invited automatically, and the results are written back to their application.
- Webhookscerto posts signed events to your endpoint when a candidate sends a request, answers an invitation or an ask, or your access ends. Setting it up, checking the signature.
