TransCrypts Launches JustScreen

TransCrypts, a blockchain-based platform for secure employment verification and digital record sharing, has announced the launch of JustScreen, the world’s first completely free background check service for HR teams, employers, and job applicants.

JustScreen removes the typical $30 to $100 cost per background check by allowing individuals to securely permission-share their verified employment, education, and identity records—such as pay stubs, W-2s, diplomas, and licenses. Rather than reviewing sensitive documents, employers receive instant confirmation of authenticity without accessing or storing the originals.

“Nobody likes paying for background checks. Now, you don’t have to,” said Zain Zaidi, CEO and Founder of TransCrypts. “For the first time, trust is not a luxury line item. It’s free, instant, and in the applicant’s hands.”

Legacy Background Checks Can’t Keep Pace with AI Risks

Traditional background checks are slow, expensive, and increasingly vulnerable. U.S. employers spend over $4.5 billion annually on background screening, with most checks costing $30–$100 and taking up to five days (according to SHRM, 2024). These delays can deter top candidates—60% of job seekers say they’ve exited a hiring process due to slow timelines.

At the same time, AI-generated fraud is making it easier than ever to fake resumes, credentials, and official documents. Employers are now under pressure to adopt verification tools that are faster, more secure, and fraud-resistant.

JustScreen provides real-time validation that makes it virtually impossible to falsify a diploma, pay stub, or identity document—while giving job seekers complete control over what they share.

“AI is reshaping how we work—and how we’re targeted. As employment fraud becomes more sophisticated, tools like TransCrypts are essential to protect workers’ identities and verify credentials with trust,” said Hadeel Al-Tashi, Head of SHRM Labs. “This is a critical step forward in defending against AI-based employment scams.”

Built for Speed, Privacy, and Seamless HR Integration

JustScreen delivers verified background checks in under 60 seconds. It removes financial and logistical burdens, respects applicant privacy, and connects directly with over 200 HRIS and ATS platforms, including ADP, Workday, UKG, and Greenhouse.

Key Benefits of JustScreen:

  • Free for both employers and job applicants
  • Instant verified results in less than 60 seconds
  • Candidate-controlled data sharing for stronger privacy
  • Advanced encryption to prevent document fraud
  • Compatible with 200+ HR tools
  • Compliant with FCRA, CCPA, GDPR, and CPA

JustScreen is especially impactful for organizations hiring contractors, volunteers, or high-turnover roles where cost, speed, and trust matter most.

Unlike traditional background check providers, TransCrypts empowers individuals—not third-party vendors—to control the verification process. By removing intermediaries, the company fosters a hiring experience that is transparent, private, and inclusive.

Having served millions of individuals across industries like healthcare, staffing, and financial services, TransCrypts continues to deliver major cost savings and greater fraud protection. With growing demand for privacy-first hiring, JustScreen positions itself as a timely solution to the modern HR challenge.
