Superunit Launches: Automate The Most Soul-Crushing Job in Background Checks
"Automate Manual Employment + Income Verifications"
TL;DR: Background screeners and banks have used them to process over 70,000 employment verifications. Superunit handles phone calls, emails, faxes, and compliance end-to-end.

❌ Employment verifications are soul-crushing, but necessary
Every time someone gets hired, applies for a mortgage, or needs a background check, someone has to verify they actually worked where they said they did.
This means millions of phone calls per year to HR/payroll/admin departments. Leaving voicemails. Sending emails. Sending faxes (yes, in 2026). Waiting days for callbacks. Calling back. Getting transferred. Leaving more voicemails.
Background screeners and banks hire armies of people to do this. It's tedious, expensive, and the turnover is bad because the job is mind-numbing.
💡 What they built
Superunit handles employment verifications end-to-end. They do contact research, call HR/payroll/admin departments, navigate phone trees, handle documents, send emails and faxes, and and publish the results back to your ERP.

🔥 What customers say
One customer: "If I have this technology, we will dominate the field."
A mortgage lender scaled their loan volume 20x while keeping their verification team at just 2 people - they avoided hiring 12 additional heads.
Another said: "You were a game-changer when we were in a really tight spot. We were growing quickly and losing customers because we couldn’t meet their expectations."
🎯 But Why
They pivoted a few months after demo day. They had been told by a product leader at Checkr that employment verifications were “soul crushing.”
They got curious.
They started building in January 2025, signed their first customer in March, signed a series C customer in April, signed a top-5 screener in September, signed their first mortgage lender shortly after, crossed 10k, then 50k, then 70k verifications processed, with many more to go!
