The solution
Emptor’s platform, designed to help teams scale efficiently, is exactly what Kavak was looking for. Emptor’s challenge was to successfully integrate with Greenhouse and build a smooth flow that would benefit candidates and the Kavak recruiting team alike.
Within a few weeks Emptor’s API was connected to Greenhouse, allowing Kavak to run an automated verification for each candidate who applied to a position online. The result of the background check was automatically updated in the candidate’s profile, allowing the Kavak team to quickly view and progress candidates accordingly.
