# Recrigilance

*/Startups/Recrigilance*

## Startup Overview

This platform provides continuous credential verification by directly querying primary state registries to validate professional licenses and certifications. Instead of relying on static database checks, the system actively cross-references candidate and employee credentials against official government sources. HR and compliance teams use this infrastructure to ensure personnel maintain their mandated qualifications without manual oversight.

Organizations in regulated sectors carry significant compliance risk when employee licenses expire or face regulatory action. Traditional background checks capture a candidate's status only at the moment of hire, while manual HR audits consume countless administrative hours tracking renewal dates and disciplinary boards. This solution eliminates those blind spots by shifting verification from a one-time onboarding hurdle to an uninterrupted, automated process.

Legacy screening providers like Checkr, HireRight, and Sterling are architected for point-in-time onboarding and frequently rely on aggregated, delayed data. By contrast, this platform is built natively for continuous monitoring and guarantees accuracy by connecting strictly to primary state sources. If a state board flags a license or a required certification lapses, the system instantly alerts administrators with the exact, current status of the credential.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day parallel tracking pilot with a regional hospital: Aim to flag at least one suspended or expired license that their legacy point-in-time background check vendor misses.
- 60-day HRIS integration beta with a telehealth network: Aim to successfully map 5,000 active employee records to their respective state registries and interstate compact databases with zero manual data entry errors.
- 14-day API load-testing pilot with an enterprise staffing firm: Aim to process 10,000 pre-hire credential verifications while maintaining 99.9% uptime despite dynamic state registry layout changes.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: Sub-24-hour latency between a primary state registry status change and the automated HR alert dispatch
- Target: 100% reduction in compliance fines related to lapsed nursing or teaching credentials
- Aim: Elimination of 15+ hours per week of manual data entry previously spent polling state websites by compliance teams
- Aim: Under 5-second API response time for pre-hire verification cross-references against primary state registries
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized healthcare staffing agency: Transition from manual weekly spreadsheet checks to daily automated API polling, eliminating credential expiration blind spots for traveling nurses.
- Regional public school district: Replacement of point-in-time annual teacher certification audits with continuous active monitoring, triggering instant HR alerts upon state registry suspensions.
- Multi-state telehealth provider: Integration of the Enterprise Shield into a custom HRIS, ensuring automatic cross-referencing against interstate compact databases and adjacent state registries.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Chief Compliance Officer at a healthcare network: Expressing confidence that dynamic fallback scraping prevents blind spots even when state registry websites crash or change layouts.
- Director of Human Resources for a school district: Highlighting the relief of moving from legacy point-in-time background checks to daily continuous polling for teacher certifications.
- Operations Manager at a staffing agency: Praising the automatic scanning of adjacent state registries that catches revoked professional licenses candidates attempt to hide across state lines.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Primary state credential registries rate-limit or block automated API and scraping access, destroying the core continuous-monitoring capability. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Federal regulators rule that continuous credential monitoring requires per-ping candidate consent under FCRA guidelines, breaking the seamless workflow. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Major ATS platforms like Greenhouse and Workday require exorbitant marketplace fees or refuse integration entirely, blocking the primary go-to-market motion. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like Checkr leverage their massive installed base to launch a competing continuous-monitoring add-on, neutralizing the primary differentiator. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the guarantor of patient safety, not an administrative bottleneck
- **Want**: to verify professional licenses against state registries without manual lookup fatigue
- **Identity**: the compliance officer at a large healthcare staffing agency
**Plan**:
- Step: Upload Registry · Detail: Import your current employee roster or connect your HRIS to identify active licenses.
- Step: Inspect Alerts · Detail: Review the real-time status dashboard that flags every expiration, suspension, or revocation instantly.
- Step: Confirm Compliance · Detail: Export audit-ready logs that prove every professional on your payroll is fully credentialed today.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: When a nurse's license is suspended mid-shift, your current systems leave you blind until the next annual audit.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: Point-in-time snapshots
- **External**: Traditional background checks from Sterling or Checkr miss mid-contract license revocations that only appear on live state registry boards.
- **Internal**: You feel a constant undercurrent of anxiety that a single missed expiration will lead to a massive regulatory fine.
- **Philosophical**: Every compliance lead deserves absolute certainty—not a best-guess report from a week ago.
**Success**: Your entire workforce stays 100% verified every single day, with automated alerts catching revocations before they become liabilities.
**One Liner**: Instead of relying on outdated background checks, Recrigilance provides continuous primary-source monitoring — ensuring your staff is always legally cleared to work.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: detect license revocations within 24 hours of state registry updates
- **Unlike**: Checkr or manual HR audits
- **For Whom**: compliance officers at healthcare staffing agencies
- **Category**: Continuous Credential Monitoring Software
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Monitor your roster
- **Transitional**: View sample audit log
**Failure Stakes**:
- Unlicensed staff providing care
- Hefty state regulatory fines
- Loss of facility contracts
**Transformation**:
- **To**: free to scale healthcare operations, no longer stuck doing the drudgery
- **From**: a compliance lead buried in manual NURSYS lookups
**Controlling Idea**: Continuous monitoring is the only way to ensure professional credential compliance.
