How it works

From a name to a verdict, without the chasing.

01
Add the candidate
Enter who you are hiring and the role. That is all we need to get started - no forms to build, no template to pick.
02
Lynda sends the questionnaire and chases replies
Lynda emails each referee a structured questionnaire - the standard checks plus role- and industry-specific questions - and chases the follow-ups for you. No phone tag.
03
Employment history verified
Lynda checks the claimed dates and titles against LinkedIn, so embellished or invented history gets flagged before you offer.
04
You get a scored report
In about a day you get a structured, scored report with clear red and green flags. You always make the final call.

Speed

The checks that usually get skipped because tracking down old bosses is slow. Lynda emails and follows up for you, so it actually happens.

Signal

More than a generic form - a structured questionnaire with role- and industry-specific questions, plus employment history checked against LinkedIn.

Decision

Structured output on every candidate - a score, red and green flags - so you can decide quickly and with confidence.
