The scale of the task
One CV can contain hundreds of individual claims that someone has to check.
An eight-step workflow that turns a dense academic CV into a reviewable due-diligence case.
TalentVeri analyses the complete academic CV.
Employment, qualifications, publications, funding, awards and other claims are structured and prioritised.
Totals, dates, duplicates and conflicting information are surfaced for review.
Critical and high-priority claims are checked against independent public evidence.
TalentVeri presents the evidence. A person remains in control of the outcome.
Send candidate or third-party evidence requests only when a reviewer chooses to.
Documents, confirmations and explanations are attached directly to the relevant claims.
Create a high-level due-diligence summary backed by detailed evidence.
TalentVeri extracts everything, while automatically prioritising the claims most important to a senior appointment.
TalentVeri records the evidence behind every verification result — including where it came from, when it was checked and how strongly it supports the claim.
