Verification check types
Start with identity. It's the fast part.
Signum runs your candidate's ID against live government and banking databases — NIN, BVN, passport, driver's license — and returns a match score in minutes, not days. The same databases financial institutions use, made simple for hiring teams.
License monitoring
Never miss an expiring license
Monitor standing with MDCN, NBA, ICAN, COREN, and more. Expiry countdowns, compliance summaries, and per-record actions on every license you track.

How it works
From screening request to verified hire
Three steps, one verification network. Your team submits a request, Signum runs the checks against local registries, and results land as scores and status pills — ready to act on.
Signum runs the checks
- Document and biometric matching
- Registry and professional license lookups
- Continuous monitoring on active records
Your team acts on results
- Match scores on every record
- Verified, flagged, or pending status pills
- Alerts when licenses approach expiry
API Portal
Plug verification into your existing stack
Trigger checks from your ATS, HRIS, or custom workflow. Receive webhooks when results are ready. No rip-and-replace required.
- REST APIs for checks, results, and webhooks
- Candidate management and screening requests
- Audit trails for every verification event
What hiring teams are saying
We cut our pre-employment verification time from three weeks to under five days. Match scores and status pills mean our team knows exactly what to do next.
License expiry alerts alone saved us from a compliance incident. MDCN and NBA standing is now tracked in one place instead of a spreadsheet.
Global reach
