TransCrypts Launches JustScreen

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

JustScreen removes the traditional $30–$100 cost per background check by enabling individuals to permission-share their verified employment, education, and identity data — including W-2s, diplomas, transcripts, pay stubs, and licenses. Employers get real-time confirmation of the data’s legitimacy without accessing or storing the original documents.

“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 Systems Can’t Keep Up With Today’s Hiring Needs

Traditional background checks are costly, slow, and ineffective in an era of AI-driven credential fraud. According to SHRM, U.S. employers spend over $4.5 billion annually on background screening, with each check taking 2–5 business days. As a result, 60% of job seekers report abandoning a hiring process due to long delays.

Meanwhile, AI makes it easier than ever to fabricate credentials. JustScreen addresses these challenges with real-time, tamper-proof validation of documents, while ensuring candidates maintain control over their data.

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

Fast, Private, and Seamlessly Integrated

JustScreen provides verified results in under 60 seconds and integrates with more than 200 leading HRIS and ATS platforms, including ADP, Workday, UKG, and Greenhouse. It is designed for ease, speed, and compliance, removing financial and privacy obstacles for employers and applicants alike.

Key Features:

  • Completely free for both employers and job seekers
  • Instant, verified results in less than 60 seconds
  • Candidate-controlled data sharing
  • End-to-end encryption and fraud prevention
  • Seamless integration with existing HR tools
  • Compliance with FCRA, CCPA, GDPR, and CPA regulations

JustScreen is particularly valuable for high-turnover roles, contractors, and volunteer-based positions where speed, trust, and cost-efficiency are vital.

A Candidate-First Verification Model

Unlike legacy background check vendors, TransCrypts puts the power in candidates’ hands, eliminating third-party data brokers and enhancing privacy, transparency, and equity in hiring.

Having already supported millions of individuals across a wide range of industries—including healthcare, staffing, and financial services—TransCrypts has generated millions in savings and is helping employers respond to the growing demand for faster, more secure, and fairer hiring practices.
