Aggregator for instant background checks tailored to gov remote hires.
Bootstrapped teams experience months-long delays in background checks and security clearance processes when building remote workforces for government contracts, killing their hiring momentum.
GovVetVault integrates multiple check providers (e.g., Accurate, Sterling) into one dashboard for parallel processing. Bootstrapped teams run checks simultaneously, get consolidated reports, and track clearances for remote workers. Reduces single-provider delays by running checks in parallel.
