Backdoor hires are a recurring issue for recruitment companies. We know the problem, we see it growing, and we have a solution – our HireChecker tool. With nearly 20 years of experience working with recruiters, we built a tool that helps agencies uncover backdoor hires that manual checks often miss. The strength of our tool is in combining automation with human validation, giving recruiters a scalable and accurate way to protect their work.
In one client test, a manual process took six days to identify possible backdoor hires. When the same data was run through HireChecker the system not only matched every case the client had found but also revealed two additional placements that would have been overlooked. The results were delivered in a fraction of the time, showing just how efficient the process can be.
🔍 HireChecker works by combining advanced search technology with deep data analysis:
- Data Import – The system pulls in your candidate and company data to begin the search, typically from your agency’s CRM.
- Comprehensive Search – The system scans multiple sources and data points to detect potential backdoor hires.
- Deep Data Analysis – Beyond standard sources, it explores deeper data layers that recruiters often overlook.
- Unmatched Detection – HireChecker finds cases that manual searches would likely miss, ensuring no backdoor hire goes unnoticed.
🔐 Because the tool is fully GDPR-compliant and built with encrypted systems, agencies can be confident that sensitive data is protected. It only processes what’s necessary to confirm potential infringements, and its global reach makes it especially valuable for recruiters working across multiple countries and industries.
Backdoor hires undermine the effort your recruitment agency puts into sourcing, vetting, and introducing talent. By using HireChecker, recruiters can secure the revenue they’ve earned, strengthen client relationships, and ensure their work is properly valued. Don’t just take our word for it – hear from other recruiters! Read testimonials here.
