Frequently asked questions

Why do startups need background verification?

Hiring fraud — fabricated employers, inflated tenure, fake degrees — disproportionately impacts startups, where one bad hire can derail a team. Kairo gives startups enterprise-grade source-verified BGV without enterprise overhead.

Is Kairo affordable for early-stage teams?

Yes. Kairo uses transparent per-check pricing with no long-term contracts, so seed-stage and growth-stage teams only pay for what they verify.

How fast is verification?

Around 2 days average turnaround vs 5–10+ days with legacy vendors — critical when startup hiring cycles are short.

Do we need a procurement team to onboard?

No. Startups can self-serve onboard, run their first verification in minutes, and integrate Kairo into their ATS as they scale.
