Hire with the certainty of who you are bringing into your company.

A background check is the structured verification of a person’s history: identity, documents, judicial record, restrictions and reputation. In HR, it is the step that confirms whether the candidate is who they claim to be and whether the résumé holds up before hiring. KYE (Know Your Employee) extends that logic beyond onboarding: checking at entry is not enough — the workforce must be re-screened periodically, because a person’s risk is not static. Together, background check and KYE answer two central questions in recruiting and people management: who am I hiring, and who is still inside my company?

Hiring without validating is expensive and risky. Résumé fraud — fake diplomas, inflated experience, borrowed identities — is more common than it seems, and each wrong hire turns into turnover, re-recruiting cost, wasted training and lower productivity. In sensitive roles, an unverified record can mean theft, internal fraud or direct damage to customers and brand reputation. The problem is that traditional checking, done court by court, is so slow it derails the process: while HR waits days for a certificate, the good candidate accepts an offer from a competitor who decided faster.

Kavuka solves this with a cloud platform that automates background check and KYE. Instead of a fixed, outdated database, it uses artificial intelligence that scans 450+ public and private sources in real time and queries every Court of Justice in Brazil in a single request. The result is a compiled report — with document validation (tax ID, driver’s license), records and lawsuits in the civil, criminal and labor spheres, and adverse media — delivered in about four minutes, with clear risk flagging. Checks can be individual, integrated into your recruiting flow, or in batch by spreadsheet, to re-screen entire teams at once. More than 2,500 companies already use Kavuka to decide with confidence.

Screening does not mean giving up compliance — quite the opposite. Background check and KYE in Kavuka are handled for data-protection law from the very first record, with legal basis and proportionality: the check is limited to what is necessary and justifiable for the role, relies only on public or legally permitted sources and keeps an audit trail of every result, with rationale, source and date. That protects the company on both flanks: from the risk of hiring without information and from the labor risk of deciding without criteria. The practical effect is faster recruiting for the good candidate, a documented barrier against the risky profile and a decision you can justify.
