Bottom line
VITAY sends reference requests in under 60 seconds and says 90 percent of referees respond within 24 hours. Pricing is quoted. A public API is documented.
Stands out for: Fraud alerts use IP matching and device fingerprinting, and the vendor says the service is built on ISO 27001 standards. SureSwift Capital bought the company in 2022.
Watch out for: There is no public price on vitay.io. Background checks, pre screening, and talent feedback are separate nav items beside the reference product.
Overview
VITAY is automated reference checking software. A recruiter sends a request from VITAY or from a connected ATS. Referees answer custom question sets on the web or a phone, and the report comes back with multi point ratings.
The vendor says hiring teams otherwise spend more than an hour on a single check, and that 90 percent of references respond within 24 hours. More than 1,500 hiring teams are cited on the demo page. IP matching and device fingerprinting are used to surface suspicious references. Plans are sold by demo.
