If the receiver of the request follows the instructions, it's easy and fast for them to complete as well. > > **Cons**: I have not had any issues. This program is easy to follow. > > We use this for some candidate background and criminal recorded checks. It's very easy as the administrator to send out, and our customers seem to be able to follow directions with ease. It's a great system. ----- ### "Value is certain with Certn" — 5.0/5 > **Bruce** | *12 July 2021* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it was easy to access online, offered a branded self-serve portal, costing was very competitive, speed of service is outstanding, and super easy to integrate with our ATS (API code readily available). Finally, the folks at Certn were super easy to deal with - support was in the country not in India. > > **Cons**: I would like to see more on options on Credit reporting built in. > > As of last fall 2020 we competely switched over to Certn after our organization was using another major service provider for years. Really liked the easy of access of the tool and how quickly results were been provided to us (within 15 minutes in many cases). What's even more amusing is that many months after going 100% with Certn, our Owner emailed my boss and myself an article highlighting Certn's growth and funding announcement. Our Owner is very keen for us to using industry leading services and technologies to support our business. When I advised we had already incorporated Certn fully into our recruitment procedures, definitely made my boss look good that we had the best in the business already integrated. And there have been no regrets. I would highly recommend Certn for your processes if you are looking for a super quick, effective service. ----- ### "Quebec Resiidence this does not work" — 1.0/5 > **Kemal** | *7 February 2026* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, maybe how they replied to my concern. Instead of resolving it differently they just wiped it away. So I guess this was the best $70 review I have spent > > **Cons**: Lack transparency… it should say that in general on there entire website. Maybe other provinces might face the same issue. Lost 70$ for a criminal background check that doesn’t work in Quebec > > This doesn’t work for Quebec residents. And after finding out it doesn’t work, they reply this message there, I hope this message finds you in great spirits. Thank you for reaching out to us. We fully understand your frustration. However, it is always advisable to verify with the organization you are checking with whether they accept third-party background checks. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Instead of adding this crucial information on their website you fall down this rabbit hole and find out after paying for the service. ----- ### "Increase price without notice" — 5.0/5 > **Derrick** | *5 May 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to send a resend user request to verify and the simplicity of soft check . Prepayment of my funds don’t get taken like Jumio and Onfido > > **Cons**: Not mobile friendly on mobile app, verifying email can be added multiple time without validation that the email has already been verified. You loose money doing double verification if you don’t track on your own > > It is good because I like the fact that they don’t take my money I prepaid if I don’t use their service for a while . Onfindo and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] take your money if you don’t use your prepayment . So in a long term certn is good if you loaded a lot of prepayment to use as needed ----- ### "Great service" — 5.0/5 > **Samara** | *8 May 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Certn has been easy to use, competitive with their pricing, and has a very quick turn around\! > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything in particular that's not working well\! We have had a few issues with the integration in our ATS but as soon as we've reached out to Certn, they've fixed it quickly. > > Certn has been great\! We've had exceptional customer service with them, and the few times an issue has popped up they've been so quick to help out. They definitely value their customers and provide an excellent overall experience ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/181804/certn?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/181804/certn) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
