The problem
Employment verification still runs on email, phone calls and hope.
Every hire triggers the same loop: a screening agency emails a former employer, HR digs through an archive, days pass, and the candidate waits. Credfex replaces the loop with a record that verifies itself.
Verification today
- Average 4–7 days per employment check. Follow-ups, escalations and “out of office” replies stretch offer-to-join timelines.
- HR teams answer the same request hundreds of times. Shared-services desks re-verify records they already hold, for no revenue.
- Unverifiable documents. Experience letters and payslips are trivial to alter and impossible to validate at a glance.
- No audit trail, no consent record. Regulators and auditors ask who saw what, when, and with whose permission. Email cannot answer.
Verification with Credfex
- One query, one signed answer. Verifiers query the exchange through the portal or API and receive a signed, employer-issued answer without chasing anyone.
- Issue once, answer forever. Employers push exit records from their HRMS, by bulk upload or from the portal. Every subsequent request is handled automatically.
- Tamper-evident by design. Each credential is digitally signed by the issuer and carries a unique reference that anyone can validate.
- Consent and audit built in. Professionals approve every verifier. Every view is logged with a consent reference, timestamp and report ID.
How it works
Three parties. One trusted record.
Credfex sits between the organisation that knows the truth, the person it belongs to, and the party that needs to confirm it.
Employers issue
An employer pushes employment and exit records to Credfex via HRMS API, bulk upload or the web portal. Each record is signed and becomes a verifiable credential.
- HRMS & payroll API
- Excel / CSV bulk upload
- Portal issuance & corrections
Professionals hold
The professional receives the credential in a personal wallet. They see it, share it, and decide which verifiers may confirm it and for how long.
- Mobile-first wallet
- Granular, revocable consent
- Notification on every verification
Verifiers confirm
Screening agencies, hiring teams and lenders query the exchange and receive an instant, employer-signed answer with a citable report ID.
- Portal or REST API
- Signed verification report
- Full audit trail

Voices
What teams say once verification stops being a chore.
“Our HR shared-services desk used to spend the first hour of every day on employment verification emails. With Credfex the request lands, the record is confirmed, and nobody on my team has to touch it.”
“Turnaround on employment checks dropped from an average of six days to the same afternoon. The audit trail is exactly what our compliance reviewers asked for.”
“I get a notification every time someone verifies my work history and I decide who sees what. That is how it should have worked all along.”
Credfex is an employment credential exchange. Employers issue verifiable records of employment (tenure, designation, exit status and more), professionals hold those records in a personal wallet, and authorised verifiers such as background screening agencies and hiring teams confirm them instantly, with the professional's consent.
A traditional check relies on emails and phone calls to a former employer, which can take days and depends on who picks up. Credfex verifies against a record the employer itself issued and digitally signed, so the answer is instant, tamper-evident and fully auditable.
Nothing. Issuing credentials on Credfex is free for employers, regardless of headcount. We earn from verifiers who pay per confirmed verification.
When the record exists on Credfex the response is returned automatically through the portal or API. If a record is not yet on the exchange we tell you immediately so you can fall back to your existing process without losing time.
Yes. Holding, viewing and sharing your credentials is free, always.
